In his first term, William passed 29 different pieces of legislation to lower the cost of living, fix our infrastructure, improve our public schools, protect the environment, and make communities safer. One of those bills created the first-in-the-nation middle-income housing tax credit to ensure our teachers, nurses, and first responders can live and work in their communities. William was the 2023 Habitat for Humanity Legislator of the Year and was recognized by the Colorado Restaurant Association for his work advocating for small businesses.

He has served on the Finance Committee, Business and Labor Committee, Transportation, Housing, and Local Government Committee, as well as on the Legislative Audit Committee.

William is a former assistant bench jeweler, public transit outreach advocate, community organizer, and former member of the Broomfield City Council.

During his time on the Broomfield City Council, he helped create Broomfield's Housing Authority, authored municipal campaign finance reform to limit the influence of big money in local politics, and made it easier for residents to vote by adding additional ballot drop boxes across town. William served as Chairman of the Broomfield Transportation Forum and a Board Director of the Denver Regional Council of Governments.

William grew up in a broken home in Broomfield. His father left when he was a child, and he and his mother struggled. He put himself through college, sometimes working two or three different jobs at a time. William holds a bachelor's in political science and a Master of Public Administration degree from the University of Colorado Denver. He lives with his fiancee Bria, and their retired racing greyhound, Pax.
