Kristin Williams Launches Bid for Homewood City Council, Ward 4
"We Love Homewood is not just a day, but a way of life."
Kristin Williams has declared her candidacy for Homewood City Council in Ward 4, basing her campaign on the idea that: "We Love Homewood is not just a day, but a way of life."
A Homewood native, Williams spent her first ten years growing up in the city. She returned after college, and over the past 32 years has raised three sons with her husband—each active in local athletics and schools.
“Homewood gave my family so much belonging, opportunity, and a true sense of community,” Williams said. “Now it’s my turn to give back in a new way.”
Williams brings a long history of community service, including:
- Founding member of the Homewood Lacrosse Board
- Chair of Fundraising & Development for Homewood Team Sports (cross country, basketball, football)
- Supporter of the Homewood Athletic Foundation
- Editor/producer of the Homewood Sports Media Guide for four years
- Long‑time fundraiser with the Service Guild and Junior League
- Active church member and volunteer
Her platform rests on three key pillars:
- Smart Neighborhood Growth – “Balanced development that honors the character of our streets and neighborhoods”
- Youth & Recreation Investment – Enhancing safe, inclusive athletic and green spaces
- Community Engagement – “Ensuring every voice in Ward 4 is heard, from longtime residents to new neighbors”
“I’m running for City Council because I love this city—and I believe leadership should reflect that love in every decision,” Williams said. “Let’s keep Homewood strong, connected, and ready for the future.”
Williams will face Winslow Armstead for the Ward 4 seat. The municipal election is set for August 26, 2025, following recently redrawn ward boundaries.
The deadline to register to vote in the August 26 election is August 12, and can be done through the Alabama Secretary of State’s website HERE. For more information on the new Ward maps or the Homewood municipal elections in general, go HERE.
