Dan K. Williams (born September 23, 1956) is an American politician and pastor. A Democrat, he has represented the 74th district in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives since 2018.
Early life and education
Williams was born on September 23, 1956, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania,[1] to Willa and Wallace Williams.[2] Williams grew up in West Philadelphia.[3] He graduated from Overbrook High School. In 1992, Williams earned a bachelor of science degree in management from Geneva College.[1]
Pastoral career
Starting in the 1990s, Williams served as senior pastor at New Life Christ Fellowship Church in Coatesville, Pennsylvania.[1][4] Williams earned his Master of Divinity and his Doctor of Ministry from Biblical Theological Seminary in 2006 and 2010, respectively.[1] He would later become assistant professor of practical theology at the seminary, and become the first African American on its Board of Trustees.[4]
Political career
Following the retirement of Pennsylvania State Representative Harry Lewis Jr., in 2018, Williams ran to fill the now open 74th District seat. A lifelong Democrat, Williams emerged victorious in a three-way primary election,[5] and later defeated Republican Amber Little-Turner in the general election.[6] Williams won reelection in 2020 and 2022, besting Republican challenger Dale Hensel both times.[7][8]
During his first term, Williams wrote a bill focused on updating police training requirements in regards to de-escalation techniques, appropriate use of force, and communicating with individuals of varying backgrounds. The bill was in response to calls for police reform following the murder of George Floyd,[2] and passed unanimously in both the Pennsylvania State House and Pennsylvania Senate.[9] On July 14, 2020, Governor Tom Wolf signed Williams' bill into law as Act 59 of 2020.[10][11]
Personal life
Williams and his wife, Baleria Alston, have three children.[12] He resides in Sadsbury Township in Chester County, Pennsylvania.[3]
