Williams first contested Chester as a Whig at the 1722 general election, but was unsuccessful. He was elected Member of Parliament for Anglesey at a by-election on 10 April 1725, on the Bulkeley interest, and was elected again at the general election of 1727, defeating Thomas Lloyd, of Llanidan each time. He voted with the Government on every recorded occasion and spoke on several motions between 1732 and 1734. He voted for the Excise Bill in 1733 which made him so unpopular at Anglesey that without Bulkeley support at the 1734 general election, he withdrew before the poll and stood unsuccessfully again at Chester.
