Jayer Williamson — Get to Know Him
Friends were talking about a new candidate for State Representative and I wondered who it was, and that is when I discovered who Jayer Williamson is.
Jayer is a lifelong resident of Santa Rosa County, graduating from Milton High in 1997. He is married to Linsey, (6 years) and they have one son, Brooks, who is just 4 months old. Jayer went to Pensacola Junior College and received an A.A. in General Studies 2000, and then to UWF where he received his B.A. in Communication Arts Public Relations with a minor in Public Administration in 2002. Currently he is an electrical contractor and part owner of a family business. His official title is Vice-President & CEO of Williamson Electrical Co., Inc.
When asked what he wants to accomplish if elected to this office, Jayer replied, “One very important issue I am watching is the septic tank issue. Senator Greg Evers has done a tremendous job in being the “watchdog” for our local communities and pushing against this overreach of government. Hopefully this issue will be resolved this session, before I am elected. If not, I vow to stand up for you and with you to eliminate any unneeded financial burdens passed on to homeowners and local businesses. The economy is obviously another key issue. The first thing we need to do is look at government regulations and overreach that tie small business owners hands behind our backs. As a small business owner, I live with these struggles every day. The best thing the government can do to promote small business is get out of the way and let business men and women do what they do best; help the people who work for them put food on the table for their families. Another thing I would like to see is an incentive package put together for the Florida counties that border other states. This would be a package put together specifically for our counties that have to compete directly against Alabama and Georgia for jobs. We don’t have to sell our soul for job creation but we do need a competitive incentive based package that would at least make a company think “Why not Jay instead of Brewton, why not Laurel Hill instead of Florala or why not Pensacola instead of Mobile.” There are other packages set up for different regions across Florida yet Northwest Florida falls under a broad “one size fits all” approach to economic development and as we know, Florida is by no means a “one size fits all” type state, especially here in the panhandle. “
Jayer is running against Doug Broxson, the Incumbent. he is also registered in the Republican party.
