August
10, 2011 - Leland, NC – Brunswick County small

a conservative Republican, announced his candidacy
for the District 5 Brunswick County Board of
Commissioners’ seat currently held by Bill Sue.
Commissioner Sue recently told the Wilmington
Star-News and other media outlets that he will not
seek re-election in 2012.
“Over the past two months a number of people
throughout Brunswick County have encouraged me to
run for County Commissioner next year, and after
prayerful consideration I have decided to enter the
race,” says Williams. “Brunswick County has
experienced tremendous growth over the past decade,
and that proves we have a good thing going. It is
critical that we exercise the common sense
conservative leadership required to preserve the
very reasons we choose to call Brunswick County
home.”
“As a county commissioner, my priorities will
include keeping taxes low for our families and small
businesses, creating a climate in which small
businesses and entrepreneurs can grow, prosper and
create jobs in Brunswick County, and ensuring that
county government makes wise, efficient use of our
citizens’ tax dollars,” Williams added. “I look
forward to the upcoming campaign and am excited
about the opportunity to meet with Brunswick
County’s residents, hear their concerns, answer
their questions and earn their support.”
