I am Lily Tang Williams, Republican nominee for Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District.

I was born in China to poor working-class parents, survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution and Communist dictatorship. I wanted freedom. America was my promised land.

I was 23 when I came to the U.S., arriving with $100 in my pocket, knowing very little English and in debt of $1,200 to my American sponsor. I worked hard to make my American dream come true and became a proud citizen 32 years ago.

Today, I am happily married with three adult children, two are veterans, have my own businesses, and live in the beautiful Granite State. My personal story of surviving Communism, from oppression to opportunity, winning the nomination for Congress proves that America is the greatest country on earth. No matter where you come from, what skin color you have, if you learn English and work hard, embrace American values, the sky is the limit.

I am the embodiment of the American Dream. My concern is that my children won’t have these same opportunities I had.

The U.S. has hit a record $40 trillion national debt for the first time in its history. We now spend over $1 trillion per year on the interest alone. It is very concerning to see our government take on such debt to kick that can down the road, printing money, driving up inflation, along with interest and mortgage rates. Both parties are responsible for this financial mess.

I am running as an independent voice for Granite Staters in CD2 who are facing many challengers. Congress needs to be hold accountable for their actions. I have a 10-Point Good Government Plan to fix Washington, including Term Limits on Congress. I signed the pledge to co-sponsor a bill to limit US House to 3 terms, Senate to 2 terms. Our founding fathers never intended to have career politicians staying in the swamp for life-time.

We need to have single issue bills, balance budget in five years by using a 6-Penny Plan, ban insider trading and push for Strict Lobbying and Revolving-Door Reforms, Real-Time Transparency and Independent Ethics Enforcement.

I also have an affordability plan to help Granite Staters to

  • Bring Down Sky-High Electric Bills and Power Our Future, Boost Housing
  • Supply and Make Homeownership Possible Again
  • Tame Inflation by Cutting Wasteful Federal Spending
  • Cut Red Tape and Taxes That Raise Costs for Families and Small Businesses
  • Empower Small Businesses, Create Jobs, and Protect the American Dream
  • Restore Accountability in Washington

I am running for Congress to save the American Dream. I love this great country and our Live Free or Die state. I want to give back to this country and the Granite Staters who welcomed me with open arms.

We might not agree on everything, but I promise you that I will always tell you the truth. I will hold town halls in our district to listen to your concern and explain my votes in the US House.I truly believe that government of the people, by the people, for the people. I will never sell you out.

I am asking for your vote on November 3rd. I will be honored to represent you and serve you in Congress with integrity, dignity and transparency.
