Thad Williamson is an associate professor of leadership studies at the University of Richmond and has served on the Mayor’s Anti-Poverty Commission. He’s lived in Richmond since 2005 with his wife, Adria, and their daughter, who currently attends Albert Hill Middle School.
As 5th District Councilman for the City of Richmond, Williamson has outlined three priorities for his service on the City Council: improve the city’s school system so that students have better education outcomes and parents have confidence in sending their children to Richmond Public Schools, expand economic opportunities for city residents, and make City Hall more efficient and accountable to city residents. He wants to build more affordable housing in the 5th District, push the city government to develop a citywide affordable housing plan, revitalize the Hull Street Corridor, and address obstacles to obtaining permits at City Hall. Williamson wants to make the city government an effective and functioning partner with the community by supporting equity in hiring practices, more accountability with regularly published updates on initiatives and task forces, and implementing ethics recommendations.
