Representative Josh Williams, a member of the Ohio House of Representatives, recently shared updates on his activities and priorities through several posts on his social media account. His tweets highlighted visits to local businesses, campaign efforts, and engagement with community organizations.

On August 5, 2025, Williams described a visit to a longstanding local manufacturer: "Had a great tour of Spangler Candy in Bryan, Ohio—where tradition meets innovation. They’re investing millions in new machinery to cut costs and create advanced manufacturing jobs. A true cornerstone of the community—and the candy we proudly throw in every parade! "

Three days later, on August 8, 2025, Williams posted about his legislative priorities and political ambitions: "In Ohio, I’ve fought to cut taxes, secure our communities from illegal immigration and violent crime, and stand up for hardworking Northwest Ohio families. When we fire Marcy Kaptur, I’ll bring that same America First agenda to Congress. More in my interview with".

Later that day, he reflected on recent outreach with party members: "Had a great time speaking with the Paulding County GOP last night! Their hospitality was incredible, and they’re fired up to help us turn President Trump’s America First agenda into policy right here in Ohio. "

Spangler Candy Company is known for producing iconic American candies such as Dum Dums lollipops at its facility in Bryan, Ohio. The company has played a significant role in the local economy for decades by providing manufacturing jobs.

Marcy Kaptur is currently serving as U.S. Representative for Ohio's 9th congressional district and has held office since 1983.

The "America First" agenda referenced by Williams aligns with policies promoted by former President Donald Trump and emphasizes domestic manufacturing growth and stricter immigration enforcement.
