Clayton Wheat "Claytie" Williams Jr.
(born October 8, 1931) is an American businessman and philanthropist from Midland in the U.S.
state of Texas who ran for governor in 1990.
Despite securing the Republican nomination and initially leading in the polls against Democratic challenger State Treasurer Ann Richards by twenty points, Williams ultimately lost the race. During the campaign Williams cultivated an image of a cowboy figure who had risen from humble roots to become a powerful business tycoon.
The image fared well with the public.
However, Williams demonstrated a penchant for making poorly planned statements culminating in an off-color joke about rape that doomed his campaign.
