John Williams (West Virginia politician)

John Williams (born May 24, 1990) is an American politician, currently serving as a Democratic member of the West Virginia House of Delegates, representing the 51st district.

In 2018, Democrats — including Williams — swept all five seats in the 51st district, the largest multi-member district in the House. As a result, the Monongalia County delegates, all Democrats, called themselves “The Fab Five” and frequently voted and worked together on bills. This was especially notable given that there was only one Democratic member of the delegation just four years earlier, after the 2014 elections. In 2020, fellow Delegate Rodney Pyles was defeated for re-election by former Republican Delegate Joe Statler, breaking the all-Democratic delegation.

Personal life
Williams was born on May 24, 1990, in Morgantown, West Virginia to Jacques and Janet Williams. He obtained a bachelor's degree from West Virginia University.
