About Lily Tang Williams

Source-published biography

A few years later while studying law in university, she heard about the US Constitution and Declaration of Independence from an American student. From these two documents, she first learned about the individual rights and liberty as opposed to collective rights. After Lily became an Assistant Law Professor at Fudan University in Shanghai, she, in good conscience, could no longer support the Chinese Communist Party (CCP.) In 1988, she managed to leave the oppressive regime by seeking, without her university’s support, graduate study in the US.

Positions and priorities

A position shows what the candidate said—not FactVote's endorsement.

Each summary is supported by the candidate's own words from a campaign source, direct candidate response, or official primary record retained with the profile.

Economy, taxes, spending, and affordability

Candidate position

For Granite Staters across the 2nd District, affording basics needs like groceries and fuel are at the top-of-mind this year. Life is getting way too expensive, way too quickly. While inflation has subsided greatly from the sustained levels during the last presidential administration, there is more work to be done amid positive geopolitical pressures.Let me be clear: my #1 priority when getting to Washington, DC to serve as your congresswoman is to work tirelessly every single day to drive down costs for ordinary New Hampshire folks.To that end, I will put more pressure to get special interests, corporations, and the Federal government out of managing the economy. Instead of pushing for public-private partnerships and regulations that seem only to end up helping politically-connected big players, I will endeavor to remove subsidies and red tape for all businesses, large and small, unleashing true market competition. We must allow the free market to thrive. Only then, do costs come down and real job growth and real prosperity naturally follow.Also, the cost of energy has a huge impact on the prices we pay for so many things. We must declare energy freedom and allow access, with appropriate mechanisms to control pollution, to all of our available resources: nuclear, oil, solar, coal, and wind. We should not be in an either/or political fight amongst ourselves on which energy sources to promote. Artificial energy restrictions not only do not make sense for national security (dependence on other countries), but it further divides and impoverishes the country.Lastly, plain and simple, the government must reduce its spending; we must grow the economy and start paying down the national debt. Our children and grandchildren will thank us.

Immigration and border policy

Candidate position

Border security is essential for our national security. In recent years, Granite Staters have spoke loud and clear: We need to secure the border, enforce current laws, build necessary barriers to stop drug smuggling and human trafficking and prevent people who want to harm us from entering our country. It’s simple: without a border, we no longer have a country.Because legal immigration has become inextricably linked to illegal immigration, we must recognize that our legal immigration system needs reform. I am a proud LEGAL immigrant to America, and I will always support those trying to come this country the right way. To streamline the process and encourage people only to come here legally, those who insist on crossing the border illegally should be detained, identified, and sent back. Thus, the previous practices of “catch and release” should never return.

Gun policy and firearms

Candidate position

I am a strong supporter of our 2nd Amendment rights. I support a national constitutional carry law. I will work for the repeal of all unconstitutional gun control laws, including gun-free zones, which only incentivize criminals with defenseless prey.

Social Security and Medicare

Candidate position

Social Security and Medicare are programs our seniors have paid into their whole working lives. Seniors can count on me to fight for them and protect those earned benefits. We must strengthen the protections of these benefits by severely limiting Federal Government borrowing from the Social Security Trust Fund. Social Security is not a political slush fund; this is money the Federal Government should not play with.

Technology, privacy, and civil liberties

Candidate position

People have to speak freely to think freely. We must exchange ideas and communicate with each other to get to the truth and arrive at mutually agreeable solutions to problems we face as a country. When others wish to control speech, they want to control thoughts, and keep those they wish to control from knowing the truth. Freedom of speech is meant to protect the listener first! Censorship exercised by collusion between government and big tech or the media is immoral and dangerous.

Democracy, ethics, and government accountability

Candidate position

I have signed the pledge to sponsor (or cosponsor) and vote to limit U.S. House of Representatives to three terms, and the U.S. Senate to two terms. This will require an amendment to the U.S. Constitution. The Framers and Ratifiers never intended to have career politicians in our country. I firmly believe that the government is of the people, by the people, and for the people.

Nuclear energy and electric reliability

Candidate position

Protect and expand proven assets like Seabrook Station while advancing next-generation Small Modular Reactors (SMRs). These factory-built reactors can be deployed faster and at lower upfront cost than traditional plants. They deliver clean, always-on baseload power with strong safety features and can be scaled to fit New Hampshire’s needs, from communities to industrial sites. SMRs will help stabilize and lower long-term electricity rates while creating high-paying jobs here at home.

Education and child care

Candidate position

Education is a states’ rights issue, pure and simple. Moreover, here in New Hampshire, we go a step further; we believe strongly in local control, and parental control. I recognize and applaud local control, and deeply respect that long standing culture and tradition. Accordingly, it is time to eliminate the federal Department of Education and repeal all federal laws regulating K-12 education.

Build on New Hampshire’s recent progress opening the door to SMR development and the regional commitment by New England governors to explore advanced nuclear for reliability and affordability. I’ll work to accelerate federal support so these state-led efforts succeed.
