That feeling of isolation led me to seek long-term connections and community in beautiful Monterey, where I have been honored to serve as a city councilmember since 2018.”
The city’s first Black and first openly gay councilmember, Williamson beat two incumbents in the November 2022 race for mayor of the city of Monterey.
His focus has always been transparency, housing and water. With two-thirds of city residents being renters, rental assistance programs are a key goals.

Williamson obtained his master’s degree in defense business management at the Naval Postgraduate School after obtaining a bachelor of arts (human communication, pre-law) at California State University, Monterey Bay.
