NASHVILLE, Tenn. – Americans for Prosperity-Tennessee (AFP-TN), the leading conservative grassroots organization fighting for lower taxes and limited government in Tennessee, named state Rep. Ryan Williams a “Champion of Prosperity.”

“Representative Williams is a continual advocate for fiscal responsibility at the state legislature,” said AFP-TN State Director Tori Venable. “His efforts to reduce government spending merits the Champion of Prosperity award.”

The “Champion of Prosperity” award is given to lawmakers who have distinguished themselves by scoring 90 or higher on AFP-TN’s biannual legislative scorecard, which measures lawmakers’ allegiance to economic freedom and fiscal responsibility. Rep. Williams has been named a “Taxpayer Hero” with a score of 101.

“I am honored to receive this award for my support of Tennessee’s conservative values,” said Representative Williams. “My Republican colleagues and I will continue to support sensible initiatives throughout the 2018 legislative session so that our state remains an attractive destination for businesses and for families and continues to thrive.”
