Today the Clark campaign announced that State Representative Dennis P. Williams will endorse Wes Clark’s bid for the presidency.

“Wes Clark cares about the issues that concern my constituents—jobs, education, health care, making ends meet, and cleaning up the mess in Iraq,” said Representative Williams. “His Family First Tax Reform Plan will give tax relief to every taxpaying family making under $100,000 and families of four making under $50,000 will not pay any federal income taxes at all. In Delaware this will make a huge difference. More than 68,000 families will get a tax cut and almost 6,000 families will pay no federal income tax at all. Wes Clark clearly has the courage to do what’s right. He will bring a higher standard of leadership to the White House.”

"I am delighted that Representative Williams has endorsed my campaign,” Clark said. “He spent his career helping others. His expertise in crime, homeland security and urban renewal issues will be invaluable to my campaign.”

Before entering politics, Dennis P. Williams served as a criminal investigator with the Wilmington City Police, and he also was a member of the Delaware Violent Crimes Commission and a deputy director for Downtown Visions, Wilmington’s Business Improvement District.

In 1995 Rep. Williams was elected to represent Wilmington’s 1st District in the State House of Representatives, a position he has held ever since. He belongs to the Delaware Black Caucus of elected officials.
