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.
Our veterans make a profound commitment to our country, prepared to lay down their lives in service. When our veterans return home, they should not face barriers to reentering civilian life. In Congress, I will work for a future where no veteran has to sleep on the street and no veteran struggles to receive the medical care and benefits they deserve.
I introduced the Return Home to Housing Act to increase the supply of housing to unhoused veterans in need. Unfortunately, the Fifth Congressional District has some of the worst examples of housing injustice, but I won’t stop working to increase access to dignified housing for everyone, especially those who were willing to make the ultimate sacrifice for our country.
