Jefferson County Justice of the Peace District 6.

The root word for justice is just. If you are going to be a justice, you should be fair and possess integrity.  People should know that you are a just person and that your character is implemented in what you do each day.

​

Caring about my constituents of District 6 is very important to me.  My priorities include drainage, ditches, bridges, broadband infrastructure, and roads. I need to make sure that we closely connect with our people. So they know that I, Dr. Margarette Williams care about what's important to them and their lives.

Serving as a JP, I have come to experience what I have always known; that, it does not matter how much one knows, but it is important to truly care for the people of Jefferson County.

​

For my re-election, YOU can trust that I will continue to work for you in District 6. You can depend on me to work hard on your behalf. Despite the many challenges from 2023, tremendous legislation for District 6 county infrastructure improvements was passed by the Quorum Court.  Surely, you should experience seeing new construction on roads, ditches, grass cutting off the highways, and the expansion of new broadband infrastructure for your area.  I advocated for millions of dollars on behalf of county roads in both 2023 well as in January 2024.  But! I need your voice to be heard.  I can advocate and appropriate, but you must continue to call and fight for your roads, infrastructure, your bridges, and your ditches. IT'S TIME FOR US TO COME TOGETHER AND BREAK THESE CHAINS. View the video below.
