When Representative,Bryan C. Williams resigned early to take another job in 2004,Republicans appointed Marilyn Slaby to a potential viable seat for Democrats.

He won reelection in 2006 easily over former NFL player Tom Cousineau.
By 2008,Democrats were on the verge of taking over the majority in the Ohio House of Representatives. While the hometown Akron Beacon Journal newspaper supported Williams' opponent Randy Cole,Williams won a third term,as Democrats took control of the majority. Two years later,Republicans took control by ousting thirteen Democrats,including Williams.
With the 2010 cycle,Marilyn Slaby's husband,Lynn Slaby,ran for the seat formerly held by his wife,and challenged Williams. In an overwhelmingly Republican year,Slaby defeated Williams. Following his defeat,Williams retired. [2]
