Williams is a lifelong Maryland resident and real estate attorney who was appointed to the Maryland House of Delegates in 2019 to serve the 22nd Legislative District. Raised by a single mother and her grandparents, she credits her grandfather's lessons on resilience and fighting for what is right as foundational to her career serving the unheard and underserved. She entered politics after witnessing neighbors working multiple jobs without adequate representation, leading her to advocate for small businesses, healthcare access, and community safety. Now running for Congress in Maryland's 5th District, she aims to be a fearless voice for families facing housing affordability issues, climate change impacts like flooding, and threats to women's reproductive rights. Her platform emphasizes repealing the Hyde Amendment, protecting waterways like the Potomac and Anacostia Rivers, and supporting federal workers who are not political pawns.
