David L. Williams (politician)

David Lewis Williams (born May 28, 1953) is an American attorney, politician, and jurist from the U.S. commonwealth of Kentucky. A member of the Republican party, Williams represented Kentucky's 16th Senate district in the Kentucky Senate from 1987 to 2012. When Republicans gained control of the chamber in 2000, Williams was chosen as President of the Senate, and held that post continuously until his resignation to accept an appointment as a circuit court judge.

Williams was the Republican nominee for the United States Senate in 1992, and for governor in 2011, but was defeated in each by wide margins.
