Congresswoman Nikema Williams has been a fierce advocate for social justice, women and families throughout her political and professional career.
As a Member of Congress, Congresswoman Williams continues to uplift the legacy of her mentor and predecessor, Congressman John Lewis, by fighting to prevent voter suppression and expand free and fair access to the ballot box.
She always centers the voices of those who are most marginalized. She brings this concern to Congress having seen firsthand how women and people of color continue to fight for racial and social justice in our country.
There are 182,220 people employed by 17,273 small businesses with employees in Georgia’s Fifth District, which is 92% of district employers. In Washington, I will fight to support these small businesses and the jobs they create, while also ensuring that more entrepreneurs from marginalized groups are able to achieve their dream of opening a business. The success of our economy depends on everyone having the opportunity to share in the promise of America. As a member of the House Financial Services Committee, I will continue to work with my colleagues on policies that provide for strong, inclusive economic growth.
