Williams has been nominated to serve as the Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development and head of the U.S. Economic Development Administration at the U.S. Department of Commerce. Excerpts of Portman’s remarks are below and the entire video can be found here. “I think it’s fair to say that the most important job we have right now is to bring the jobs back. This Commerce Department position is critical to that. Too many workers in my state of Ohio and around this country have been out of a job for too long, some for months, some for years. Jay understands that. He’s not only seen it first-hand during his days as mayor of Youngstown, he has spent much of his life trying to improve economic conditions for all Americans. If confirmed, I look forward to working with him and his colleagues to keep the economic development projects moving forward on the Main Streets in Ohio and around the country.” Williams’ biography is available here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
