Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Image of https://s3.amazonaws.com/ballotpedia-api4/files/thumbs/100/100/Mikal-Williams.PNG

Mikal Williams (D)

Infrastructure and job creation. As your representative I will spearhead getting federal funding for projects to move flood waters and protect against the gulf waves. With this project we can tackle other dire needs like renewable energy and job creation. As we build drainage infrastructure, we can include hydrodynamics in order for that moving water to also generate renewable and useable electricity. We can store and use that energy to power vital institutions like hospitals, police and fire stations, and shelters when inevitably the Texas Power Grid fails again, not unlike the Tennessee Valley Authority. These bold projects will also create jobs and direct economic growth in our district.

Election and Government integrity. When I am your representative in Washington, I will introduce legislation to overturn Citizens United and remove the dark money from our elections. No more will representatives spend over 75% of their time soliciting contributions from 0.5% of the population. Our government is Of, For, and By the People. We must place a cap on political election spending. We must make it more accessible for citizens to run for office. We must get rid of pay-to-play. Also, I will also reintroduce legislation to implement Congressional Term Limits. It is time to say no more 40 plus years of holding a seat. I believe that 20 years of service is enough for someone to get work done, make their mark and go home.

Child Tax Credit and Wealth Tax. With extending and maintaining the child tax credit, our most vulnerable citizens see immediate relief. These CTC expansions would reduce child poverty in the United States by 45 percent, according to Columbia University’s Center on Poverty and Social Policy, lifting nearly 5 million children out of poverty. The wealth tax would have a great impact on funding government assistance programs with little to no effect on the average citizen's wallet. Only families with wealth holdings above $35 million would be taxed. If we get 180,000 of the wealthiest American’s to pay their fair share in taxes, we could not only provide a permanent child tax credit, we could also provide universal healthcare for all Americans

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Mikal Williams (D)

Stable and sustainable workforce solutions. Stable and Sustainable Workforce Solutions. Presently, allied health solutions and renewable energy technologies are the high-growth job markets in our country and projections are they will remain that way for the foreseeable future. As your Congressman, I would bring energy market leaders from the oil and gas, renewable, environmental, and educational sectors to the table to create good middle-class jobs that will stimulate our economy and increase the quality of life for all residents of the district, while also building the infrastructure, in an environmentally sound manner, that will utilize our renewable coastal resources to support our coastal ecosystem. By doing this, we will preserve our way of life on the Texas coast while continuing to propel the Texas 14th US House District into this century as the energy leaders of the United States. Criminal Justice Reform. I believe our police officers should have at least two years, or an associate's degree equivalent, of training before they put on the badge. I believe we need to demilitarize the police and invest in social and mental health "officers" to assist in these kind of crises. I believe Congress should continue to work for H.R. 7120 George Floyd Justice in Policing Act until it is enacted. As a representative, I would fight for these as well as introduce or co-sponsor legislation to nationally legalize marijuana use and expungement of all marijuana arrest records.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

Mikal Williams (D)

I am the only democratic candidate for Texas Congressional District 14 that lives in the district and has the voting record to prove it.

What is the first historical event that happened in your lifetime that you remember? How old were you at the time?

Mikal Williams (D)

The first historical event that left scarring lifetime memory was the Challenger explosion in January 1986. I was in the fourth grade and I was 10 years old. I was sitting on the floor in the classroom with my classmates watching the launch live. It was a historic flight since it included the first non-astronaut, a teacher, a regular citizen, As the countdown began the excitement in the room and from our own teacher was palpable. The engines ignited and the boosters blew huge glorious fire plumes from the back of the craft as it lifted off. They were a minute into the flight and everything looked great. My classmates and I began to chatter excitedly with big smiles and a sense of accomplishment. All of a sudden the spacecraft was gone! There was a large smoke cloud where the craft should be and booster rockets propelling forward, out of control. The mood in the room changed immediately and drastically. We had just experienced a national tragedy, live on TV, and the images will forever be seared into my memory. However, what had the most impact on me and drove my later pursuits was the aftermath of the tragedy. We did not close down the space program. We didn't put a permanent hold on space flight. We continued with our space endeavor. We learned from the tragedy and improved our safety process. Seeing the aftermath of that event, the national unity, the drive to learn, adapt, and achieve. It also taught me that service to others, especially the nation, was and is the most selfless pursuit.

What was the last song that got stuck in your head?

Mikal Williams (D)

Anything by Rush, but especially Red Barchetta, Wolf Totem - The Hu, Paralyzed - Arkansauce, Strangletage - Umphrey's McGee.

If you are not a current representative, are there certain committees that you would want to be a part of?

Mikal Williams (D)

There are certain committees I want to serve on as representative for TX 14. I want to serve on the Education and Labor Committee. The commitment of the Education and Labor Committee is putting workers first, affordable healthcare for all, education and opportunity for every student, and holding the government accountable. Those are the core tenets of my campaign and exactly what I am running for Congress to do. I also want to serve on the Ethics committee, again to hold the government, especially agents and officeholders, accountable for financial and ethics violations. The third committee I want to serve on is the Judiciary Committee, especially the Government Oversight subcommittee.

What are your thoughts on term limits?

Mikal Williams (D)

Career politicians were not the original intent of our founders. Our government has become stagnant. Politicians are happy to embrace titles such as obstructionist and “the grim reaper.” Representatives are elected to do work; if they choose not to, we must hold them accountable. Too often, we see our so-called leaders destroy legislation that is good for constituents and the country just so they can score political points with their corporate donors and attempt to maintain power. It is time to put a stop to this!

When I am your representative in Washington, I will introduce legislation to overturn Citizens United and remove the dark money from our elections. No more will representatives spend over 75% of their time soliciting contributions from 0.5% of the population. Our government is Of, For, and By the People. We must place a cap on political election spending. We must make it more accessible for citizens to run for office. We must get rid of pay-to-play.

As your representative, I will also reintroduce legislation to implement Congressional Term Limits. It is time to say no more 40 plus years of holding a seat. We have 88-year-old Senators running for another 6-year term. I believe that 20 years of service is enough! That is why I want to propose 3 Senatorial terms and 9 Congressional terms. That gives leaders time to do the work that is so desperately needed. Leave their mark, so to speak, then hand it off to the next generation to continue to form a more perfect union.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Mikal Williams (D)

As a mediator and family law attorney, I have participated in hundreds of negotiations regarding the most precious possessions and heirlooms and the most precious beings, children. The most successful outcomes are ones that involved compromise from both sides. Compromise is necessary for policymaking. However, there is a line of demarcation of policymaking. There is an art to negotiation, whether advocating or mediating, to get to an agreement. Knowing how to navigate that dance and not compromise the desired outcome is a skill that is learned only by being behind those doors and doing the work. I have spent over a decade honing those skills.

Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:

Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.^[3]
Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.

Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.^[4]^[5]^[6]

Competitiveness

See also: Primary election competitiveness in state and federal government, 2022

This section contains data on U.S. House primary election competitiveness in Texas.

Post-filing deadline analysis

The following analysis covers all U.S. House districts up for election in Texas in 2022. Information below was calculated on Jan. 27, 2022, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.

In 2022, 223 candidates filed to run for Texas’ 38 U.S. House districts, including 143 Republicans, 79 Democrats, and one independent candidate. That’s 5.9 candidates per district, less than the 6.5 candidates per district in 2020 and 5.9 in 2018.

Texas gained two U.S. House districts following the 2020 census. Two members of the U.S. House filed to run for re-election in a different district than the one represented before redistricting: Lloyd Doggett (D) filed in the new 37th District, while Vicente Gonzalez (D) filed in the 34th District seat held by retiring Rep. Filemon Vela (D).

Six districts were open, meaning no incumbent filed to run. In addition to Gonzalez’s and Doggett’s districts, these included the newly-created 38th District and the 1st, 8th, and 30th districts. 1st District incumbent Louie Gohmert (R) filed to run for state attorney general, while incumbents Kevin Brady (R) and Eddie Bernice Johnson (D) did not file for re-election.

This was the same number as 2012, the previous post-redistricting cycle, and 2020. There were seven open seats in 2018.

There were 13 incumbents who filed to run in districts without any primary challengers.

Three districts were likely to be won by Republicans because no Democrats filed. There were no districts where the same is true of Democratic candidates.

Fifteen candidates each filed to run in the 15th and 30th Districts, more than any other. Six Democrats and nine Republicans filed in the 15th. Nine Democrats and six Republicans filed in the 30th. Both districts were open.

Presidential elections

Partisan Voter Index

See also: The Cook Political Report's Partisan Voter Index

Heading into the 2022 elections, based on results from the 2020 and 2016 presidential elections, the Cook Partisan Voter Index for this district was R+17. This meant that in those two presidential elections, this district's results were 17 percentage points more Republican than the national average. This made Texas' 14th the 68th most Republican district nationally.^[9]
