I have personally had many conversations with him and feel comfortable exploring a variety of topics and ideas. I can confidently speak of his platform because he has been open and transparent all along. ![]() He moved to online live Facebook chats, has posted his thoughts and positions online as well as with local news outlets, and has participated in debate forums. Throughout the pandemic he has adapted to keep himself available to the public. Before Covid, he hosted several meet and greets at local businesses such as Fleur de Lys and Pig and Fig. Of all the candidates, he has spent the most time over the past year listening to the needs of Los Alamos and White Rock. Sean Williams cares about the ideas, questions, and concerns of Los Alamos residents. This will meaningfully support the small business community, while also providing economic opportunities to our neighbors, all without council having to hear yet another anti-donation lecture.” “ I would like to see our county purchasing go to a three-tiered system: to the greatest extent allowed under state law, the county should look first to Los Alamos County for goods and services, second to the surrounding communities (e.g., Española, San Ildefons, Rio Arriba, Taos), and only if we can’t find what we need locally should the county shop outside our area. ![]() The issue of procurement has come up in recent months and he believes the county should shop local first. He understands the needs of local business owners, the frustrations with reasonable rent rates, the problem with tenants and building codes as well as the intricacies of zoning laws. Sean Williams has great ideas about revitalizing Los Alamos and White Rock downtowns with regards to redevelopment and zoning. “I don’t think that it is a good idea for the County to support putting the most vulnerable population imaginable – elderly poor people – on land where we have legitimate concerns of radiological contamination…we have a housing crisis we have to solve it but this isn’t the way.” “I do fully appreciate the need of housing within the County, but I think this plan is reckless and dangerous and I do think we have the latitude to reject it,” Williams said. As reported by the Los Alamos Daily Post from that meeting: While ultimately it passed, he was only one of two P&Z Commissioners to vote down the Bluffs amid safety concerns. I was impressed with his assertion that the safety and health of our county citizens should be the top priority when deciding to build residential housing on potentially contaminated land. This was certainly apparent during the last P&Z meeting. He understands the needs of our town and citizens and has our best interest at heart. He worked at the lab as a PhD Computer Scientist, is a local home owner, is a successful local business co-owner of Automotive Professionals, and is a current Planning and Zoning Commissioner. He has experience in many facets of town that gives him a unique perspective that is needed to represent us well. ![]() I have known Sean for over 10 years and believe he will be an important addition to the County Council. I support Sean Williams for County Council.
