Prior to serving with the District, Williams served as lieutenant governor of Florida, a state senator, secretary of the Florida Department of Administration and deputy secretary of agriculture in the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

“(Floridians) are finally looking at the state’s water needs and sources,” said Williams in a 1999 interview. “I think we’re managing them quite well. I’m very optimistic about where we’re going with water management in Florida, and am especially pleased with the St. Johns Water Management District, a district with which I am most familiar.”
