2014

Williams' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[7]

The Economy

  • Excerpt: "One key issue facing North Carolina and the nation as a whole is the economy. Edgecombe and Martin Counties are experiencing high unemployment and underemployment rates. We have to get our citizens back to work and provide viable opportunities for those entering the workforce for the first time. In District 23, we need support from Raleigh and the Federal government for infrastructure projects. We have to design laws that encourage citizens to invest in small business opportunities."

Education

  • Excerpt: "Even before K-12, we have to invest more in early childhood education; these are the most critical years in a child's development. I support the push for salary increases for our teachers. It is the only way North Carolina can become competitive in recruiting and maintaining good educators. One item we must push for is the return of tenure for our Educators. We must ensure our school systems allow Educators to educate our children and not measure to standardized tests. Every community is unique and should have the flexibly to develop a curriculum that meets basic, regional and global needs."

Housing

  • Excerpt: "Housing developers are not investing in the communities that are economically stressed and depressed. We have to introduce and pass legislation that will allow developers incentives to invest in our communities. When we change the quality of our housing stock through incentives, we can reduce the costs associated with utility consumption. Reducing any cost in utilities is something that is needed and what all North Carolinians want."

Safety

  • Excerpt: "As citizens of North Carolina, we want to feel safe when raising a family. We want to feel safe in every aspect of our daily lives. Ensuring that resources are available to fund proactive crime control is key. We not only have to be responsive to crime, we must also be fervent in preventing it. Working in concert with local, state, and federal agencies, we can begin to effectively combat crime and create safer communities. Safety is a universal concern and it is imperative that we all do our part to reduce crime and set the example for crime-free communities in Edgecombe and Martin Counties."

The Environment

  • Excerpt: "We have to invest in alternative energy to reduce any negative impact to our environment. I cannot support fracking or other environmental hazards if it will be harmful to our water supply and other natural resources. We must set policies that will entice citizens to be supporters of conservation. I will not support any initiative that will have a negative impact on the environment."
