Not only has he been blogging for years, he's employed Qik.com, YouTube, Facebook, LinkedIn and MySpace among others to keep his constituents informed. But he doesn't leave the work to his subordinates. He uses social media smartly and in a deeply personal way. When he Tweeted just as he was about to go on stage to speak at the Republican National Convention, no one could have been surprised by his commitment to new technologies and ways of communicating. One supporter said of Williams, "His combination of conservative vision, articulate advocacy, and social media engagement will make him a force to be reckoned with in the US Senate." Did we mention he's running for the United States Senate? He's got that going for him, too.
