Meet William
My name is William Fells III. I am excited to officially announce my candidacy for the Pine Bluff City Council Ward 3 position. Born and raised in Pine Bluff, I am proud to call this community my home. I am a graduate of Ridgway Christian High School and the American University in Washington D.C., where I majored in political science.
To me, public service is a way to bring people together and build opportunities for individuals to thrive in their potential. My first experiences in public service involved working as a page in the U.S. Senate and interning in the U.S. Department of Justice under the Obama Administration. After graduating college, I was honored to join the office of Pine Bluff Mayor Shirley M. Washington in 2019 as Special Projects Coordinator where I served until 2023.
I love working for this community, and that’s why I am running. Although there are challenges, this is a moment of opportunity for Pine Bluff. There are exciting developments happening and the potential for even greater progress. We need a city council that will collaborate to seize this moment and build the community that residents want to see.
In this mission, I want to work with you in Ward 3 to clean up neighborhoods, promote programs that improve safety, upgrade infrastructure, and create an environment that sustains local businesses while also attracting new ones.
I hope to have your support and work at your side in this mission.
