© 2018 Larry Williams for Land Commissioner
Larry Williams, a long-time leader in city and county government, is circling back to the beginning of a more than 30-year career spent serving the community. In his latest bid, for Justice of the Peace, Williams is running for the first position he ever held, despite not having been elected to it. On Dec. 23, 1981, Williams was appointed by then-Governor Frank White to fill a vacancy on the Garland County Quorum Court. As an appointee, Williams was unable to run to succeed himself but spent many years serving the court in other capacities. He was a staff aide to the court, and later presided over its meetings as County Judge. Now, he hopes to serve again as one of its members, representing District 4. After graduating from Malvern High School in 1970, Williams' interest in current events led him to pursue a degree in journalism from Henderson State University (HSU). He moved to Garland County in 1975 and has been active within the community ever since. Williams spent most of his political career in the county judge's office, working for 15 years as administrative assistant to two county judges before assuming the Office of County Judge himself on Jan. 1, 1995. He was re- elected to the position seven more times for a total of 16 years served. With his eighth term, Williams broke the record to become the longest serving county judge in Garland County history. As County Judge, Williams obtained a $600,000 grant from the Arkansas Department of Human Services for the construction of the juvenile detention facility. His biggest accomplishment with quorum court cooperation was the implementation of a house-to- house residential solid waste collection system. He also developed Cedar Glades Park, Garland County's first park. He retired in 2010.
