About Kim Williams

I am a lifelong New Castle County resident, and previously worked for a union electrical contractor for 12 years. I was hired as a receptionist and worked my way up to office manager. Ultimately, I decided to resign from my job and stay at home to raise my two children.

Being a stay-at-home mom gave me the opportunity to be involved in my children’s schools. While helping in the classroom and regularly attending PTA meetings, I quickly learned what an important role parental support plays in the schools. I became PTA treasurer and volunteered weekly for the HOST reading program. I was eventually elected PTA president four times at Forest Oak Elementary School. When my daughter entered Conrad Schools of Science, I was elected vice president of the PTO. I served on Conrad’s Building Leadership Committee for five years.

My time in the schools and building relationships with Red Clay teachers made me realize there was much work to be done on improving the district. I and another like-minded parent started a blog known as Fix Red Clay, which focused on issues concerning Red Clay School District. It provided the community with a place to share their opinions and concerns about the Red Clay School District and gave me a valuable insight into how the public really felt about our school system and our district. 

In 2009, I was elected to the Red Clay School Board and served on the board for three years, including serving one year as vice president. 

With my children entering into high school, I took the opportunity to return to the workforce. I held a Delaware real estate license and was an agent with Berkshire Hathaway Home Services. I currently work full-time as a legislator.

I represent the 19th District in the Delaware House of Representatives. I was elected in 2012 and was sworn into office January 2013. I am currently Chair of the Joint Finance Committee, Delaware State Clearinghouse Committee, House Appropriations Committee, and House Education Committee, Vice Chair of the Labor Committee, and a member Delaware Economic and Financial Advisory Council (DEFAC). To learn more about the committees that I service on, please visit my About Menu. 

Some of my proudest accomplishments was Delaware being the first state in the nation to end child marriage, child marriage was legal in all 50 states. Today, 16 other states have joined Delaware in ending child marriage with no exceptions.

Another accomplishment was reopening the Delaware SPCA (Stanton). In June 2016, the DE SPCA announced its permanent closure (incorporated in 1873, I volunteered my time working with other volunteers to reopen the SPCA. Four months later, the shelter reopened. I eventually became a board member, and I served as president. The Delaware SPCA and Delaware Humane Association  merged, their new name is Human Animal Partners (HAP), I served as Vice President of the new organization and currently serve as a member.

My husband, Carl, and I have been married for over 30 years, we have two children, Casey and CJ, as well as our adopted, former foster dog, Addy. We have lived in Klair Estates for more than 30 years.
