  I’m a 6th generation Washington County native, and I have a deep love for our local community. 

I am the mother of two darling little girls, and have been married my husband Mitchell Hancock for nearly a decade.

I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Computer Information Technology from Dixie State University. During my career, I have worked as a technician for the Washington County School District, been a Software Engineer for local companies, and I currently work for Washington County in the Information Technology Department. 

In my role with the Washington County IT Department, I work with the Recorders office and their systems on a near daily basis. Because of this close working relationship, I already have experience working with:

-Tax notices,

-Centrally assessed values lists,

-The County tax systems, processes, and software. 

-Assisting local title companies in accessing needed information from the Recorder’s office,

-Helping the public access Recorder’s data.

 It has been my pleasure to serve as the House Representative for district 75 for the past two terms. District 75 includes downtown St. George, Middleton, Green Valley and all the way up Hwy 18 to Enterprise including Pine Valley and Gunlock.

I grew up in St. George and am lucky enough to live with my wife, Jennifer of 21 years and our 5 children, in the home that was built by my great grandpa.

I currently am the president of RxTrax, a software company that provides tools to the medical industry to verify their prescriptions and medical supplies are delivered to the correct recipients. 

I have been passionate about removing the tax off Social Security. This past session I introduced a bill that passed the House but was not heard in the Senate. We have great momentum and I will be putting this bill forward again. Another bill was increasing the penalty for stealing packages off your porch.

I welcome your feedback about any legislation or issues you have concerns about.  I look forward to hearing from you.

 Willie Billings has raised his family in Hurricane since 1991. Leadership positions within the Republican Party: County, and State Delegate, Precinct Chairman, Legislative District Chairman, Washington County Republican Party Chairman, and Utah State Republican Party Vice Chairman. My priorities are: Public Lands managed by Utah. Education funding where it matters most for children. Parents Choice how and where their child is educated. Willie feels that every change to legislation, or any new legislation considered, must have this question asked: “How does this impact families?” He will implement and honor an open door policy.
