Campaign themes
2011
On her campaign website Williams outlines two main issues. Here are excerpts:[3]
- Quality Public Education - "Louisiana must have a first class education system to provide our children the skills to compete in a global economy...I believe in equal opportunities for ALL to receive a quality public education, from early childhood through college. I believe improving public education is more than a constitutional obligation - it is economically imperative."
- Building Tomorrow’s Jobs through Clean Energy - "Natural gas is a clean energy source that if fully developed can provide our state and nation with the energy infrastructure necessary to power the needs of future generations. Clean, abundant, inexpensive energy will become an increasing important consideration as businesses decide where to locate."
