Josh Williams | The Ohio House of Representatives
Representative Josh Williams, a member of the U.S. House representing Ohio’s 9th Congressional District, recently shared several statements on social media addressing criminal justice reform, support for local agriculture, and school policies regarding gender and sports.
On August 25, 2025, Williams criticized bail reform policies in major U.S. cities. He wrote: "Ending cash bail has been a disaster for blue cities all over America. The left claims that it's 'racist' to keep criminals in jail when it's the largely Black residents of those places who suffer the consequences of dangerous people being released back onto the streets." This comment comes amid ongoing national debate about cash bail practices and their impact on crime rates and minority communities.
Later that day, Williams highlighted his support for local agriculture with a visit to Bergman Orchards in Ottawa County. In his post dated August 25, 2025, he stated: "Nothing beats fresh Ohio produce! I stopped by Bergman Orchards in Ottawa County this weekend to pick up some peaches. Local farms are the backbone of OH-9, & I’ll always support Ohio’s growers & small businesses." His remarks reflect ongoing efforts by lawmakers to promote local farming as an essential part of regional economies.
On August 26, 2025, Williams addressed concerns about school policy enforcement regarding gender participation in sports. He posted: " WATCH: An Ohio school counselor CAUGHT on hidden camera coaching a parent to break the law and force a boy into girls’ sports. This is ILLEGAL. A blatant assault on women, parents, and the rule of law. She MUST be held accountable." The statement follows broader discussions nationwide about transgender student-athletes’ participation in school sports programs.
These topics remain at the forefront of legislative agendas across various states as elected officials like Representative Williams continue to engage with constituents on matters related to public safety reforms, economic development through agriculture, and education policy.
