Bill's Story
A Life Lived with Integrity
A former paratrooper, Bill Petty knows how important it is to build trusting relationships with others through mutual respect.
Bill Petty's life has been defined by service, hard work, and a commitment to community.
Born into a family of faith, Bill lived in various states before enlisting in the Army in 1964. He served with the 82nd Airborne until 1967, including an 18-month deployment to the Dominican Republic.
After his honorable discharge, Bill pursued education with passion. He earned two degrees from the University of Nebraska at Omaha, launching a diverse career that included developing a high school psychology department, coaching a state champion girls' track team, and founding his own construction company, Petty & Associates, in 1995.
Throughout his life, Bill has been dedicated to giving back. He's served as president of the Nebraska Kidney Foundation, board member for Big Brothers Big Sisters, and leader in various community and faith organizations.
Bill's journey has taken him from Omaha to Chicago to Evanston, Illinois, leaving a positive impact in each of his neighborhoods. Now calling Williamson County home, Bill continues his tradition of active citizenship. Bill regularly attends (and comments at) government meetings, consistently publishing weekly updates about what is going on in our county. He also volunteers regularly at Graceworks Ministries, and serves as the chapter coordinator for Guitars for Vets.
Bill and his wife Mary have been married since 1969. They're proud parents and grandparents, with his son, daughter-in-law, and children living in Green Hills, and his daughter who lives in Evanston with her husband and two children.
With a lifetime of diverse experiences, Bill brings a unique perspective and a passion for community service to Williamson County. Bill is now the District 10 Republican Nominee for County Commissioner.
Bill's Plan
Solid on the Issues
As a paratrooper, building contractor, small businessman, schoolteacher, and high school sports coach, Bill proved his leadership and problem-solving skills. Williamson County needs someone with his leadership abilities to tackle the challenges faced by the County Commission.
Bill's Focus
Reduce the out-of-control $1.5 BILLION county debt.
Stave off non-essential property tax increases.
Manage the runaway growth that’s destroying our county’s historic beauty and overwhelming our roads and infrastructure.
Responsible school and capital project funding – pay teachers more and reduce wasteful spending.
Make county government more efficient, effective and transparent.
Bill's Promises
Ethics: I promise to be ethical – to treat all people the same, and not be influenced by special interests in our county. I will not be swayed from my allegiance to the people.
Truth and knowledge: I promise to adhere to truth and knowledge, to be dedicated to transparency and fact-based decision making.
Fiscal restraint: I promise to honor fiscal restraint, to ensure the county does not waste money on “wants” versus “needs.”
True to principles: I promise to be true to the principles of limited government, low taxes, low regulations, and efficient use of taxpayer money.
True to you: I promise to be true to you, the citizens, to prioritize the needs and rights of the people and put YOU first. Not me… nor the county administration. YOU.

When I joined the Williamson County Commission, Bill Petty was already a heavily involved citizen. He has spoken a number of times at Commission meetings concerning issues and challenges, offering well-thought-out recommendations from citizens about paths the Commission might take in addressing issues. As the Republican nominee for the District 10 seat on the County Commission, I am pleased to endorse him to bring his transparent, experienced, problem-solver approach to the Williamson County Commission.

Barb Sturgeon, Williamson County Commissioner, District 8
11 October 2024
Bill regularly attends our county commission meetings — along with BOMA, school board and county election commission meetings. But he doesn’t stop there. Each week, Bill writes a summary of what took place at those meetings and shares this information with subscribers to his free “Friday Recap.” Bill digs deep to get to the bottom of issues, such as election integrity concerns, the hidden costs of growth and finding solutions to our county’s debt. I’m pleased to endorse him to represent District 10 and believe he will serve his district with excellence.
Rep. Jake McCalmon, Tennessee House of Representatives, House District 63

Bill Petty is a solid conservative and someone who understands that balanced, responsible growth and adequate infrastructure are essential to preserving what makes Williamson County such a special place to live, work, and raise a family. Bill has already been involved in working with several county commissioners and will be a fine addition to the Williamson County Commission. I encourage all my constituents in District 10 to support Bill’s campaign and to vote for him on November 5 as our newest member of the Williamson County Commission.
Jeff Hughes, Williamson County Sheriff
26 September 2024
Bill is very knowledgeable about the challenges we face in Williamson County. He is keenly focused on finding solutions that balance public safety with ensuring taxpayer money is used wisely. As a citizen, Bill fought to defend parental rights and protect children from harmful influences. As a county commissioner, I’m confident he will continue that commitment and be a leader in promoting positive values.

Bill has taken on the commitment to write and distribute a weekly summary of the many governmental meetings that occur here in Williamson County. I know of few people that are better informed on the local issues confronting our community. He is a good listener who appreciates hearing differing perspectives on issues. He then does his own research and collaborates on developing solutions while keeping fiscal and practical constraints in mind. He believes in hard work, transparency, integrity, and the need for effective communication. Bill would be an outstanding representative for District 10.

Bill first got on my radar when he would share his thoughtful insights during the public comments portion of the Williamson County Commissioners meetings. He was polite and professional. When he spoke, we all listened. Since that time, I've gotten to know Bill better. His sincerity and love for our county is undeniable. He stays abreast on the issues facing us residents.

Gina George | Franklin
12 August 2024
To know Bill is to love Bill! He is the real deal, the audio and video of his life movie are in sync and his authenticity, integrity and conviction are so needed in this hour.
He is a true patriot, who deeply understands and lives by this infamous Ronald Reagan quote: "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same." Bill is literally passing the torch to our daughter to whom he so lovingly teaches guitar. It has been a joy to have her witness his passion and devotion to serving with all the gifts and talents the Lord has blessed him with. I believe he truly been equipped for such a time as this. His life's work and experience uniquely qualify him to serve as County Commissioner with steadfast excellence!
Michael Ryan | Franklin

J. Patrick George | Franklin
12 August 2024
I have known Bill Petty since he and his wife Mary arrived in Franklin. They have become like family to us. It is rare to find people in your life that model authentic love and compassion for others, day in and day out. Bill has taught me several things about life, but one in particular is how to be a servant leader of one's community and a steward of future generations. The numerous hours he commits to attending city and county meetings, and being a voice for the people, is astounding. He has boundless energy to serve and impart his wisdom to others. That's why I support Bill Petty as our D10 Commissioner. He is for the people and will stand strong for the values, ethics and principles our families deserve.
Craig Wills | Spring Hill
12 August 2024
Are you tired of the same old, same old politicians? Have you had your fill of RINO do-nothings who spend your money without accountability? We need patriots representing us, not politicians. Patriots are interested in future generations. Politicians are only interested in money, power and winning their next election. Bill Petty is a patriot. We need him as a Williamson County commissioner to strengthen our stand for true conservative values. I strongly endorse Bill Petty because of his personal integrity and his biblical worldview! Vote Bill Petty for Williamson County District 10 Commissioner!
Mary Wolfe | Brentwood
12 August 2024
Bill Petty is a man of integrity, wisdom and faith. I have seen him attend and work tirelessly for Williamson County, to educate, and inform our citizens on all the issues we are facing. His weekly publication of the Friday Recap has helped many. Bill is a true Conservative and Patriot. We need more men like Bill Petty.
Karyn Fuller | Franklin
12 August 2024
My first thought of Bill Petty is we need more “Bill Petty’s” in this world! We need more citizens who actively engage in what our county officials and politicians are voting on. I’m endorsing Bill for a long list of reasons but at the top, Bill stands with the majority of Williamson Cnty resident's. Time and time again, residents will flood the meeting room, voice their concerns and the elected officials will vote against the people. Bill is a great listener, creative problem solver and he’s loaded with integrity. We need more “Bill Petty’s”!
Joy Allison | Franklin
12 August 2024
Bill Petty is committed to Truth, Transparency, and Fiscal Responsibility regarding Williamson County issues impacting citizens.He has the intelligence, integrity, and courage to make the right decisions to STOP Rogers Anderson’s massive DEBT spending plans (estimated to reach $2 BILLION by 2027 if Rogers Anderson and rubberstamp brigade County Commissioners keep approving more DEBT) and Bill Petty has the intelligence to understand what is needed to pay down the current existing $1.2 BILLION DEBT in Williamson County.
Michael Kortebein | Franklin

Bill is a hardworking man of integrity with the vision needed to guide Williamson county.
Kelly J. | Williamson County

I endorse Bill Petty because he will be objective and honest about all potential projects and not just provide a rubber stamp for whatever the county mayor’s office wants. That is what we need in Williamson County! Transparency, honesty, and accountability!
Wade Smith | Arrington
11 August 2024
I got the chance to meet Bill recently at a political event and was very impressed. I found Bill to be extremely knowledgeable about Williamson County government and has many creative ideas to solve the problems in the county. I like that he is an outsider to politics and not part of the good old boy network like so many of the current County Commissioners. I think Bill will be the perfect public servant for District 10!
Jayne Thibodeaux | Franklin

Bill is like a breath of fresh air in a raging storm. He’s exactly the man we need. For our county. For our children. For such a time as this. For sure!
Marshall Lee | College Grove
11 August 2024
Our county needs strong, ethical leadership and Bill Petty is the man for this job of County Commissioner. He’s genuinely concerned about the trajectory we are headed towards especially with the 1 billion dollars of debt the current leadership has gotten us into. Bill has shown time and again he is a concerned citizen who wants the best for our county and I have no doubt he’s the man for this job and the man for this very hour. Bill cares, he’s kind, he’s smart and educated on all that our county is facing bc he’s shown up at nearly every county meeting as a concerned and vested citizen.
Mary Williams | Brentwood

My goodness, the question is why wouldn’t you endorse Bill Petty!! He’s a man of service, dedication and has a vast array of knowledge and skills based on his work and life experiences. He’s already been doing the job basically by attending the meetings and capably educating himself on the issues that affect all of the citizens of this county for a year now. Not only that, he shares this information with all interested citizens so they are also aware and may have an informed voice. That is true service and devotion…the democratic process. Thank you Bill!! I look forward to more of your helpful service!
Ruth Kortebein | Franklin

I have gotten to know Bill over the last year. He has been a tireless warrior as he constantly works to inform all of us through his weekly summary of all that is going on in the Williamson County government. He has his finger on the pulse of all that is going on. Bill is a solid constitutional conservative who indeed is exactly what we need in this county. Bill’s hard work and integrity would indeed be an asset to our County Commission. Vote “Yes” for Bill Petty!
Margaret R. | Williamson County
11 August 2024
Bill is an honorable man who has participated for the good of Williamson County for years. He is knowledgeable on complex issues within the county, and always seems to be able to thoughtfully and respectfully state his conservative Republican views. He works tirelessly attending, participating and reporting on many, many meetings...even the more obscure ones! He has worked leading the Republicans to success in the School Board election this month. I know he is the best person to lead District 10 and support him 100%! Go Bill!

The thing that sticks out about Bill Petty is his integrity. He always wants to do things the right way. He has a wealth of experience that will serve us well when he is elected. We need more people in government like him.
Rory Rottschalk | Williamson County
11 August 2024
Bill Petty brings with him a natural desire to serve his constituents, that's just who he is. His business background equips him with an aversion to spending money the County does not have. This is a viewpoint we need in order to halt the growth of our county debt (now at $1.2 billion!). He will not be pressured by Party or special interests.
Rob Parrish | Franklin

Stuart Spigel, MD | Franklin
11 August 2024
I have known Bill Petty for several years . He is a rock-solid Constitutional conservative who puts self-sacrificing service to others after faith and family. Bill served as a paratrooper with the 82nd Airborne Division after which he taught school and eventually owned a construction company where he learned how to be a problem solver and a reconciliator.He and his wife, Mary, have been married since 1969, raised a son and daughter and enjoy several grandchildren.Bill freely gives of his resources and time toGraceWorks ministries and is the Franklin chapter coordinator for "Guitars for Vets". He attends meetings of the Franklin BOMA, County Commission, election commission and school board and presents a summary of their activities and actions in a regular Friday newsletter. He has executive experience as president of the Nebraska Kidney Foundation and and a board member for Big Brothers, Big Sisters.Bill is a man of integrity and principles. We couldn't ask for a better candidate to be elected to our County Commission.Stuart Spigel, MD

Bill’s knowledge and analysis of the issues position him to make a positive impact on County Commission decision making.
Carl Allison | Franklin
11 August 2024
I’ve personally met Bill Petty a number of times. He is very active in our community striving to protect & improve our constitutional Republic and has also spent a lot of his personal time helping other candidates. He is also no stranger to the County Commission meetings. He is the better candidate by far to represent our conservative values.In the last Williamson County GOP elections, it was VERY apparent that there was a vast majority that did not vote Sheryl Brown back in to office to represent Williamson county’s conservative values. She was voted out by a wide margin given the overwhelming applause to her opponent in the 600+ crowd that attended and voted. She kept our GOP away from good grass roots people in our community and tried protecting the Willco establishment, so Brown is a bad option for County Commission district 10, which she will represent the establishment. It is also very concerning under her GOP lead, many good people serving GOP leadership positions were pushed out. Some of these people even voiced their view it was important for GOP to connect with Williamson County’s conservative grass root groups, but Sheryl Brown did not do so.Please elect Bill Petty to be on the Republican ticket over Brown for Williamson County TN’s District 10.

Bill has taken the time to put his finger on the pulse of Williamson County’s political landscape and has reported on it weekly to many of us that find it very useful to know about the goings on in this county and the ramifications of decisions made by our political leadership. I believe he can bring this experience and understanding of the our County Government to be a fiscal watchdog for his constituents and by extension as it affects all of Williamson County.
Gary Moore | Franklin
10 August 2024
Bill is a living template for service and sacrifice to God and country for all of us to emulate. He will carry and use that sincerity and humility into office for the good of the county now if give the noble opportunity to work for all citizens. I publicly endorse and commit my will for his election. God be with you, Bill!!!!
Don Beehler | Franklin
10 August 2024
Bill is a man of integrity and a solutions-oriented problem solver. I suspect he is more informed about details of the critical issues facing Williamson County than many of our elected officials. There are numerous reasons to endorse him, but what I like most about Bill is that he is not a politician; rather, he’s an ordinary (but very well informed) citizen who has stepped up to run for county commissioner because he sees the need to address the challenges we face in Williamson County. Bill is a solid conservative 24/7, not just when an election approaches or when he’s in a room full of conservatives. He won’t try to put a happy face on the county’s problems or ignore them. He’ll deal with them head-on. As a county commissioner, I’m confident he will protect our quality of life and exercise fiscal restraint so that Williamson County does not continue to engage in reckless spending that adds to our enormous debt.
Gary Humble | Franklin

Bill is trusted and he is knowledgeable on the issues.

I believe Bill will be a good leader to serve as County Commissioner. I know him to be honest, hardworking, and selfless. And his wealth of knowledge from his experience as a teacher, coach, businessman, veteran, and leader in numerous organizations over the years will serve the people of the county well.
Sharon Spigel | Franklin
10 August 2024
For at least a year I have benefited from reading Bill Petty's weekly email update which he sends out faithfully every Friday. His update helps me know what is going on in the county and he does this as a volunteer who completely believes in transparency in government. That's how I know Bill will continue to be transparent if he is elected. I have attended many county government meetings where Bill has spoken and have always agreed with his comments to public officials. Bill cares deeply about Williamson County and those who live here. Bill is concerned about the level of debt our county has now and will be adding to with the jail construction and all the new schools which are planned to be built. He will make a fabulous County Commissioner!

The man has true character... easily displayed by all he has done as a citizen in monitoring governmental groups like BOMA, Williamson County Schools, Williamson County Election Commission and the Williamson County Commission. He won't need on-the-job training... he's already knee deep in all the issues the Commission will face. He's got my vote as a D-10 resident.

Williamson county needs someone like Bill who supports limited government & wants to reduce wasteful spending. Also, if you are someone who believes we need to slow the growth in Wilco, please support Bill!

I am so thankful that Bill Petty is running for County Commission in District 10, and I am honored to support him! Bill is an exceptional person -- a man of integrity and transparency who is running for the right reason. He has no career aspirations in his decision to run. Rather, he wants what's best for the community, and his goal is to serve the interests of the voters in his district. This has been evident in his consistent attendance at County Commission meetings and School Board meetings where he frequently gives public comment. Add to this Bill's experience as an educator, small businessman, as well as his service in the army, and you have a proven leader and the most qualified person to serve as County Commissioner.

Bill is and has always been for We The People. His work at the county meetings and helping politicians understand the concerns of their constituents is primary and needed in our political ranks.

Bill leads with integrity and genuinely cares and has been invested in Wilco and wants the very best for our county. He’s given so much of his time and energy to make sure we are fiscally responsible and getting out of the BILLION dollars of debt current leadership has gotten us into. He leans in and listens and welcomes conversation. He is the needed we desperately need!

I support Bill because of his dedication to serving the community. With his diverse background in the military, education, volunteering and politics he is the one we can count on to get the job done. He attends most local government meetings and keeps the public informed. We need more leaders with Bill’s passion and determination to make Williamson a true conservative county.

Bill understands what our county needs and how to achieve it based on many, many hours of doing research and attending county meetings. He is not only extremely knowledgeable, but also personable, and well-respected in the community.

I strongly endorse Bill Petty for D10 County Commissioner. I was attending a school board meeting and he gave such a logical comment I was impressed and have since gotten to know him. I have seen him working hard to master the issues of our county and leading others to help them to understand and be informed. He is kind and empathetic but intelligent and pro-active in working towards solutions. He is a strong constitutional conservative (founding member of Williamson County Constitutional Republicans) who makes decisions based on his Christian world view and our founding constitution. Bill has no any ties to or obligations to any groups or any other leaders- he is an independent thinker. Based on my friendship and working relationship with him over a couple of years, I know he will faithfully listen to and speak for his constituents.

I know how hard Bill works as a volunteer for this county. He always makes sure he is up to date on all issues, so I know he will hit the ground running as a commissioner
