In July 2019 Williams was announced as the Conservative candidate for the constituency of Montgomeryshire in the next general election, where the sitting Conservative MP Glyn Davies stood down. In the general election held in December Williams won the seat with 59% of the vote to return to Westminster. Williams increased the Conservative majority in Montgomeryshire to over 12,000 votes.

Williams was opposed to Brexit prior to the 2016 referendum. He consistently voted with the government (Conservative whip). He lost his seat in the June 2017 General Election to Labour's Anna McMorrin.

Williams had represented Pentyrch ward on City of Cardiff Council from 2008, and had unsuccessfully contested the Cardiff South and Penarth by-election in 2012, coming second to Labour's Stephen Doughty. In July 2015, he was elected as a member of the Work and Pensions Select Committee, a seat which he held until October 2016. Williams then served as a member of the Welsh Affairs Select Committee and the Scottish Affairs Select Committee.

Williams first stood for office in Cardiff West against First Minister Rhodri Morgan in the 2007 National Assembly for Wales election.
