My name is Bobby Williams and I am a small-time politician here on the East Side of beautiful Keene, New Hampshire. I’m proud to serve my ward in our City Council, and I’m going into the last year of a four-year term.
I think I’ve done good work while in office, using my role on the Council to push the City to act for housing, for disability access, for public health, and to fix the sidewalks. Serving my community in this role has been an amazing experience and I’m likely to run again.
In my day job I have my own software development shop with a few employees that I have trained, and some clients that I appreciate. I might call myself a tech entrepreneur if that term were not so disreputable. If you are in the market for full-stack web application development and have an institutional budget to work with, maybe hit me up.
2022 was quite a year for me. Among other endeavors, I ran for an open seat in the New Hampshire State Senate. While I didn’t win the Democratic primary, many other good things came out of the experience. I suppose the real victory was the friends I made along the way.
2023 brings a fresh start, and with it, this new blog. I’m hoping some of these friends I’ve made in the world of New Hampshire politics and activism will join me in turning this new venture into a progressive space where ideas are discussed, voices are heard, and actions are organized. A community.
I will have much more to say in coming posts, but for today – New Year’s Day – it’s enough for me to get this blog up and running.
Welcome!
