@Lily4Liberty - Lily Tang Williams

My opinion piece published by Pelham local paper Evergreen: WHY I AM RUNNING FOR US CONGRESS I am Lily Tang Williams, born in China to illiterate working-class parents, I lived through Mao’s Cultural Revolution and endured communist indoctrination. I met an American exchange student who introduced me to the Declaration of Independence and the US Constitution in college. Those documents planted within me American ideals. After becoming a law school faculty member, I realized I could never transform China into a rule-of-law society while it was under CCP dictatorship. I wanted freedom. America became my promised land. I was 23 when I fled tyranny. Arriving with $100 in my pocket and knowing very little English. I worked very hard to make my American dream come true. Today I am happily married with three adult children and have my own businesses. My concern is that my children will not have the same opportunities I had. That is why I am running for US House of Representative this year. Congresswoman Ann Kuster (D) has occupied this seat for 12 years. She totally supports Bidenomics and Democrats policies that are destroying America and our quality of life. She has lost touch with the common people in CD2, whose lives are greatly affected by inflation, high energy costs, and current open border policies. The US hit a record $34 trillion national debt for the first time in its history on Dec. 29, 2023. This debt of $34 trillion is more than the combined GDP of the top five global economies after the U.S. We are now spending nearly $2 billion per day on interest payments alone. It is very disconcerting to see our government take on such debt and kicking that can down the road. They have inflated our money, and mortgaged our children’s future. I worry my children won’t be able to live their American Dream. We must stop deficit spending, balance the budget, pay down the national debt, cut regulations that hurt businesses, and unleash free enterprise spirit of our citizens so our economy can grow. We must declare energy freedom and allow access, with appropriate mechanisms to control pollution, to all of our available resources. Artificial energy restrictions not only do not make sense for national security (creating dependence on other countries), but it further divides and impoverishes the country. I am a US citizen by choice and I have embraced American Ideals; freedom, free markets and free enterprise, property rights, free speech and open debate, equal protection under the law, parental rights, meritocracy and personal responsibility. I love this great country and our Live Free or Die state. I know how fragile and precious our freedom is because I lived without it for the first 23 years of my life. I am asking for your support to help me win the Republican primary this September 10th and general election this November 5th. I will be honored to represent and serve all the people of New Hampshire. Lily Tang Williams Republican Congressional Candidate NH02, Weare, NH #NH02 #NHPolitics @PelhamNHGOP
