Senator Tommy Williams brings a strong record of public service, business achievements and community involvement to the people of Southeast Texas. In November 2002 Texans showed their confidence in Williams by electing him to the Texas Senate with 64% of the vote. He is a three-term member of the Texas House of Representatives and is an outspoken advocate for Texas taxpayers, and a recognized leader in budgetary issues.

Williams is a life long Texan. He was born in Marshall, Texas and attended schools in the Marshall Independent School District. After graduating from Texas A&M with a BBA in Accounting, Williams began a career in industry and public accounting prior to entering the insurance and financial services field in 1983. He is a member of the Texas Society of CPA's and now serves as President of Woodforest Financial Services, an affiliate of Woodforest National Bank.

During his work in the Texas House of Representatives, Williams negotiated the historic annexation moratorium between the City of Houston and The Woodlands. Williams also led a successful effort to increase school funding for thousands of school children all across Texas.

As a Texas Senator, Williams serves on the Senate Finance Committee, Education Committee, Criminal Justice Committee, and is Vice-Chair of the Senate's State Affairs Committee. By special appointment of Lt. Gov. Dewhurst, Williams serves as a member of the Legislative Audit Committee and a panel charged with studying our state's water policy. Additionally, numerous state and community groups have recognized Senator Williams' legislative and leadership accomplishments throughout his elected public service.

The proud parents of two sons, Tommy and his wife, Marsha, are active community leaders and members of The Woodlands United Methodist Church.
