Jared Williams grew up in south Tarrant County in a family grounded in values of faith and service. The values his family lives by — loving God, loving people, and serving community — shape Jared’s commitment to listening deeply and partnering with our neighbors to advance practical solutions that promote the common good for all in Tarrant County and beyond.
Jared was raised by two working parents who devoted their lives to teaching and serving their community. His mother, Adrian, and his father, Joseph, both taught in local public schools, and they also served together in pastoral ministry. Around their kitchen table, Jared learned the values of faith, servant leadership, stewardship, and compassion for neighbors and community. Those values continue to guide his commitment to helping build a Tarrant County where every person and every family has the chance to thrive and find wholeness.


Shaped by the people and neighborhoods of Precinct 2, Jared is a homegrown leader and proud public school graduate with a doctorate from UNT. He serves as a nonprofit leader in food banking, an assistant pastor, and a seminarian — grounding his leadership in faith and a deep commitment to the common good. For more than a decade, he has worked through public service, ministry, and community leadership to expand access to food security, strong schools, affordable childcare, stable housing, homeownership, and essential services. He has also helped craft policy solutions at the local, state, and federal levels to better serve working families. As a two-term member of the Fort Worth City Council, he strengthened neighborhoods, brought in investment that created local jobs, improved essential services, and championed transparency and accountability.
Rooted in his faith and commitment to the common good, Jared walks alongside neighbors striving for justice, dignity, and hope. As a husband, father, and lifelong member of this community, he is dedicated to helping build a Tarrant County where every family can thrive.

Precinct 2 spans Mansfield, Arlington, Crowley, Burleson, Edgecliff Village, Dalworthington Gardens, Benbrook, Kennedale, Pantego, Fort Worth and parts of Forest Hill and Everman — communities tied closely to Jared’s family for generations.


Jared was raised in South Tarrant County by two dedicated educators. His mother, Adrian, worked in higher education at UTA and later retired from Crowley ISD. His father, Joseph, also taught in public schools and retired from South Hills High School. Jared attended South Hills Elementary and graduated from Crowley ISD, and is now raising his family here in the community that helped shape his life and values.
His family has deep roots in Precinct 2. His wife, Scioscia, also grew up here, graduating from Mansfield ISD public schools and UTA, with family still living in Mansfield. Jared’s brother and sister-in-law teach in Arlington and Burleson ISD, and their children attend public schools across the precinct.
Jared’s life and service have always centered on this community, through nonprofit leadership, church ministry, and representing residents from the Benbrook Lake area, Edgecliff, Far South and Southwest Fort Worth, Crowley, and Burleson on the Fort Worth City Council.
Together, these experiences tie Jared and his family deeply to the people and neighborhoods that make Precinct 2 home.
