Phil Williams is an American politician. He is a Republican member of the Alabama House of Representatives from the 6th District, serving since 2009. He graduated from the University of Alabama in Huntsville with a degree in international business.
Williams first won his seat in the Alabama House of Representatives in the 2009 special election for House District 6 after incumbent Sue Schmitz was found guilty on three counts of federal mail fraud and four counts of fraud involving a program receiving federal funds.
In 2015, in the wake of Mike Hubbard's indictment on charges of corruption, Williams unsuccessfully ran for Speaker of the Alabama House.
On August 23, 2017, Williams announced he would seek the Republican nomination for Alabama State Senate District 2 in the 2018 election after being encouraged to run by incumbent Senator Bill Holtzclaw. The primary election will be held June 5, 2018.
