Jane Williams completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2023. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Williams' responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- I believe that everyone should have a right to vote and that voting should be made easier and not harder in the 21st century. I believe in Statewide Medicaid Expansion. And I believe Mental Health is real and more legislation is needed.
- Even though women reached a historic record after the 2020 election making up 32.5% in representation, women are still underrepresented in State Legislature and all forms of government. Therefore, 32.5% is Not Enough. Why can't we have 51%. I believe if more women had a seat at the table more would get done.
- I’m asking voters to send a woman back to finish the job that Rep. Tish Naghise started. To send a message that this seat is not a seat of convenience, but a seat that requires work, commitment, consistency, A Leader. Because visibility matters, accessibility matters, You matter.
Healthcare access for all Georgians.
Mental Health.
Education.
Environment.
Reproductive Rights of Women.
