Re-Elect Tony
For ,m
mission
I am Tony Williams. [ am seeking a
second term as County
Commissioner in Summers County.
I have served for the past six years
as your Commissioner. I am the son
of the late David Williams and
Carylon Williams. I have been a life
long resident of Summers County. I
am the father of two children, Kaylin
Callarik and Tyler Williams.
I graduated from Hinton High School in 1991. I attended Wheeling Barber
School and graduated in 1992. I then assumed the family business. My
father barbered in Hinton for forty one years. I have been sewing the
community in the same business for twenty six years.
During my six year term as county Commissioner we have accomplished
much. We are currently renovating the Court House and we have
completed work on the John Henry Park. We are now in the process of
building a swimming pool at the 4-H Camp and we are striving to extend
potable water to the residents of Madam's Creek, Broom Straw, Meadow
Creek and other sections of Summers County that are in dire need of
water.
I want to continue working with the city of Hinton to improve the
community as a whole and to accomplish future goals.
I will not stop working to accomplish these goals that the people of
Summers County desperately need.
I thfink you for your trust and I thank you for your continued support. A
vote for me is a vote for the future of Summers County.
Than k You !
Tow Williams
