Campaign website
Williams' campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Take Back America Our founders reflected upon His creation and then formulated the American ideals of Liberty. These ordinary citizens conceived what was unheard of: a nation founded upon Individual Liberty, where the People are the sovereign and government restrained.They sought to establish a heritage that would transcend time, believing that each generation would pay installments to the ideals of Liberty for their posterity to enjoy. Payment is due; therefore, I am running for Congress to protect these ideals for my family and yours. And if you faithfully obey the voice of the LORDyour God, the LORDyour God will set you high above all the nations of the earth. God Bless America. Our Constitution America is a Constitutional Republic, the foundation of a Republic is its rule of law, and we call that the Constitution. Our Constitution is the most brilliant governing principle ever conceived, its genius is most demonstrated by the presence of Article V. The founding generation being humble patriots with God in their hearts knew perfection was beyond human reach, therefore, the Constitution can be amended when found necessary. Article V provides for that amendment process. Among the greatest concerns of the founders was the concentration of power in the hands of a few. The checks and balances they foresaw were believed adequate protection against abuses of power. The behavior of todays “ruling class” demonstrates otherwise. As your Congressman
Our Direction As your Congressman

- Alarmed by the attacks on Civil Liberites, Civil Rights and Parental Rights, I'm taking a stand to push back against these attacks.
- Dissatisfied with the level of accountability of the Legislative and Judicial braches and have proposed Constitutional solutions to address these issues.
- Not content with the erosion of Constitutional principles being caused by the administrative state and I'm proposing solutions to this issue.
