NH-02 New Hampshire Congressional Candidate Lily Tang Williams Signs Independent Women’s Voice’s Stand with Women Commitment – 10/07/2024
Last Friday, Lily Tang Williams, the Republican Nominee for New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District, signed the Stand With Women Commitment to support women’s access to single-sex spaces and opportunities when fairness, equality, and safety are at stake.
By signing IWV’s Stand With Women Commitment, Lily Tang Williams promises “to support legislation that preserves female opportunities and private spaces.”
With her signing today, Williams has earned an ‘approved’ score on The Riley Gaines Stand with Women Scorecard, a first-of-its-kind resource that scores every candidate for federal office on whether they intend to support legislation that stands up against the increasing threats to women’s rights, safety, and opportunities.
The Biden-Harris administration’s new administrative rule, which took effect August 1, unilaterally redefines Title IX’s sex-based protections to apply to “gender identity.” The rules pressure schools to let males who identify as women to take women’s scholarships and roster spots. Williams’s commitment to acknowledge sex-based differences between males and females preserves equal opportunity for women and girls in all aspects of education, including in sports.
“Growing up in Communist China, I was canceled as a woman and not allowed to show my femininity. That is why I am so proud to earn the Riley Gaines Stand with Women Scorecard recognition that reflects my promise to always protect women’s sports, opportunities, safety, and privacy,” said Lily Tang Williams. “I will not stand by and allow the left to diminish women by allowing biological men to compete against female athletes. It’s not right.”
“With her Stand With Women Commitment signing, Lily Tang Williams is sending a clear message that she will prioritize women’s rights in New Hampshire, from preserving women’s sports to protecting single-sex spaces like locker rooms, dormitories, and domestic violence shelters. We need more candidates like Williams who are unapologetic in their willingness to stand up for women and girls,” said Riley Gaines, IWV Ambassador and host of Outkick’s ‘Gaines For Girls’.
The Stand with Women Commitment lets Americans know who is pro-woman, pro-science, and will fight for policies that prevent sex discrimination and preserve women’s rights, safety, and opportunities. It is part of IWV’s Hope Agenda to offer solutions on some of the most important issues that women, as well as Independents, Hispanics, and younger Americans, care deeply about and want addressed.
Lily’s campaign has earned the endorsement of leaders across New Hampshire and the nation, including New Hampshire Governor Chris Sununu, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik and Protect Freedom PAC.
Lily has also earned the endorsement of 53 members of the New Hampshire state legislature, Gun Owners of America, US Parents Involved in Education, the New Hampshire Conservative Majority Project, and more. Find a full list of campaign endorsements on her website.

Lily Tang Williams Wins New Hampshire Journal’s NH-02 Republican Primary Debate – 7/8/2024
Lily Tang Williams demonstrated today at the New Hampshire Journal’s Republican Primary Debate why she’s the frontrunner for the Republican nomination for New Hampshire’s Second District House seat. Lily, who has been actively campaigning for 12 months, demonstrated a deep understanding of the issues facing the United States and the constituents of New Hampshire’s Second District. She outlined her plans to address these challenges as the next Congresswoman, making her the clear winner of tonight’s debate.
“I am running for Congress because the American ideals I treasure, that I escaped Communist China to pursue, are under attack today,” said Lily Tang Williams, Republican Candidate for New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District. “I have a mission to run to tell my story: We don’t want this country to go down the path of socialism. This is the best country on earth, and I know that because I come to this country with nothing and here I am running for the United States House of Representatives. I want to give back to New Hampshire, its people, and the community that welcomed me with an open heart.”
On the illegal immigration crisis…
“This is a crisis. To crack down on illegal immigration, I would like to shut down the southern border and streamline the immigration process. My brother waited the 13 years in China to come to this country. It took me seven years to earn my citizenship. Allowing open borders is a slap in the fact to the legal immigrants like us.”
On Inflation and the Rising Cost of Living…
“Young people in New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District tell me they can never afford to buy a home. They are living in their mom’s basement. They feel like they cannot achieve the American dream the way I have done in building a life after coming to this country with nothing. I feel obligated to share my story and run to save the American dream that I hold dear to my heart. I want my children to live the American dream.”
On the Federal Debt…
“$892 billion- that’s how much we will be paying in interest on our national debt this year alone. It’s bigger than our national defense budget. We really need to have fiscal responsibility and accountability from Congress. They control the money and the budget, they should produce appropriations bills and do their job.”

Trump Verdict: The CCP is Relieved That Our Justice System Is Just Like Theirs
Date: May 30th, 2024
Contact: Press@lilytangwilliams.com
Weare, NH: Lily Tang Williams, frontrunner for the Republican nomination in New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District, released the following statement regarding the verdict in President Trump’s trial.
“Today’s verdict in Trump’s case is an absolute disgrace. From the very beginning, this entire witch hunt has reminded me of the sham trials and political persecution I saw in the People’s Republic of China before I
fled to America. The Manhattan District Attorney’s weaponization of the legal system is a move straight out of the CCP’s playbook. It is a farce and is completely un-American.
Today, the CCP and other hostile countries are laughing at us and will plan accordingly to take advantages of weak and corrupt Biden regime. I stand with President Trump and will do everything I can to make sure he
wins New Hampshire in November. The future of our country is at stake.”

Lily Tang Williams Endorses Donald J Trump for President
Press Information – For Immediate Release
Date: May 28, 2024
Weare, NH: Lily Tang Williams, Republican Frontrunner for her party’s Nomination for New Hampshire’s Second District House Seat, today announced her official endorsement of Donald J. Trump for President.
Lily stated, “I am excited to officially endorse former President Donald J. Trump. 36 years ago, I came to the U.S. from Communist China seeking freedom and opportunities. I only had $100, which I had borrowed, and spoke very little English. Over the last 36 years, I have worked hard to achieve my American Dream. I am very concerned that the future for my three children cannot be very bright or peaceful if Joe Biden and the Democrats remain in charge. President Biden’s policies have led to high inflation, high interest and mortgage rates, a continuing border crisis, insane identity politics, indoctrination of our youth, censorship of speech, and political weaponization of our judicial system against his political opponent.”
Lily continued, “I fear the country I love is becoming the country I left. I believe President Trump truly and deeply cares about our country and the American people. His America First policies as our 45th president led to record economic growth, low inflation, energy independence, criminal justice reform, border security and world peace. I urge you to vote for him this November.”
Lily Tang Williams, the Republican front runner in NH-02 has been actively campaigning for 12 months and has garnered 52 endorsements from NH State Legislators. Lily’s campaign slogan is “KEEP THE AMERICAN DREAM ALIVE.”

Lily Tang Williams Statement Supporting Texas Governor Greg Abbott
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Weare, New Hampshire
January 26, 2024
Contact: Richard Zang Richard.Zang@unh.edu
President Biden and his Administration have left Americans and our country completely vulnerable to unprecedented illegal immigration pouring across the Southern border. Instead of upholding the rule of law and securing the border, the Biden Administration attacked and sued Texas for stepping up to protect US citizens from historic levels of illegal immigrants, deadly drugs like fentanyl, and terrorists entering our country.
NH Republican Congressional Candidate, District 2, Lily Tang Williams, said:
“I stand with Governor Greg Abbott and the State of Texas in utilizing every tool and strategy to secure the border. Because the Biden Administration abdicated its constitutional compact duties to the states, Texas has the right to protect the sovereignty of our states and our nation.”
“The southern border is a complete disaster and my opponent Ann Kuster is supporting President Biden’s undemocratic subversion of the rule of law which is condescending to the American people and the US Congress. It is just another example of Anne Kuster towing the Democratic party line instead of focusing on what’s good for New Hampshire and the nation.”
Lily Tang Williams is a Chinese-American who survived Mao’s Cultural Revolution. She came to the U.S. legally in 1988. She has offered her immigration policy on her website, www.lilytangwilliams.com. Moreover, considering that Texas has 28 legal ports of entry, her policy also includes a solution to illegal immigration:
“Border security is essential for our national security. We must enforce current laws, build necessary barriers to stop drug smuggling, human trafficking, and prevent people who want to harm us from entering our country. Without a border, we do not have a country.”
“To streamline the process and encourage people only to come here legally, those who insist on crossing the border illegally should be detained, identified, and sent back. Thus, the practice of crossing our borders illegally, then immediately claiming sanctuary to somehow sanitize coming here illegally, must end; no more catch and release.”

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Weare, New Hampshire
December 29, 2023
Contact: Richard Zang <Richard.Zang@unh.edu>
Responding to the news of the Maine Secretary-of-State removing former President Donald Trump from the ballot in the state of Maine, NH Republican Congressional Candidate, District 2, Lily Tang Williams, said:
“I never thought after I escaped Communist/Fascist China, I would ever see the judicial system in my new chosen country weaponized for political persecution. Regardless of how one personally feels about our former president, Donald Trump, he is entitled to what forms the bedrock of the United States judicial system; that is, the presumption of innocence.
Ironically, the insurrection clause that both Colorado and Maine have used to bar him from running for elected office – the 14th amendment – is one of three amendments (5th, 6th, and 14th) that collectively form a fair-trial notion not found in all civilized countries: innocent until proven guilty. Many countries operate from guilty until proven innocent. There’s even more irony here: Not only has Donald Trump not been found guilty of insurrection, Special Counsel Jack Smith did not even seek indictment of the former president for insurrection.
If this weren’t bad enough, there’s still more: The Democrats have been saying for years that Trump is trying to do away with democracy itself. And yet they attempted not once, but twice, to have him impeached so that he could no longer be able to ever run for president again. And now, they’re attempting to have him removed from as many states’ ballots as they can.
As honest Abe reminded us at Gettysburg in 1863, our government is ‘of the people, by the people, and for the people.’ Accordingly, the people should decide if Trump should be our next president, not the courts, nor secretaries of state. The Biden Administration and his party are the real threats to our Republic and its representative democracy.”

Lily Tang Williams, Republican Candidate for New Hampshire’s Second District seat in Congress, spoke out today on the Israel-Hamas war. “Last Saturday — the Jewish Sabbath and the Simchat Torah holiday — the world saw the culmination of decades of Israeli attempts to coexist with radical elements among their many Muslim neighbors.” She said. “The Hamas forces now in control of the Gaza Strip launched the single most effective attack on Judaism since the Holocaust.”
As the atrocities continue to unfold, “My heart goes out to the people of Israel. Indeed, to Jews all over the world.” She said. The candidate noted that she joins leaders in this country condemning the acts of wickedness by Hamas, calling for the return of hostages to their families, and for an eventual end to the violence. “Unfortunately, violence will, no doubt, escalate in the coming weeks and months. But I hope we can unite in our resolve to stand with the people of Israel, no matter our political party.” Ms. Williams said.

Lily Tang Williams Announces Candidacy for US House — Brings Inspirational American Dream Story to New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District

Lily Tang Williams, a passionate advocate for individual liberty, parental rights, free markets and free enterprise, has declared her candidacy for the United States Congress in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District. With a unique background that includes overcoming poverty and the horrors of communism in her native country China, Williams embodies the American dream and is ready to fight for the people of her district.
“I am living the American dream,” affirms Williams. “I have experienced firsthand the transformative power of freedom, opportunity, and hard work. The radical leftists rooted in Marxism who use identity politics to divide our people, destroy American values, weaponize our children through indoctrination remind me of the same tactics that Mao used when I was growing up. I fear the country I love is becoming like the country I left.”
Williams is a staunch defender of individual freedom and constitutional rights. Her own experiences have instilled in her a profound appreciation for the principles enshrined in the United States Constitution, including the protection of freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, equal protection under the law and the preservation of privacy rights. She is a true believer of the Granite State motto: LIVE FREE OR DIE.
Lily Tang Williams’s candidacy brings a unique perspective and an inspirational American dream story to the forefront of New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District and the national stage. Her unwavering commitment to freedom, prosperity, parental rights and her own firsthand experience of the struggles currently faced by many in our society make her a powerful advocate for positive change.

Weare, NH – Today, Lily Tang Williams, Republican Congressional Candidate in New Hampshire’s 2nd District, released the following statement following Bob Burns’ Victory.
“I want to thank the thousands of people who supported me in my primary for Congress. The people of New Hampshire have been left behind and forgotten by the socialist policies of Ann Kuster. This election is too important to stand on the sidelines while Kuster’s policies hurt New Hampshire’s families. That’s why I’m proud to stand alongside Bob Burns in his race for Congress. The 2nd District is in desperate need of new leadership that will put people ahead of politics. Ann Kuster has been a rubber stamp for Joe Biden and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez’s socialist policies. I know Bob will bring much-needed relief and prosperity to the people of New Hampshire.”

“For the past 20 years we have seen a country that has continued down a path of big government socialism. This is not the Country that I came to America for. I didn’t come to this country to rely on government. Congresswoman Ann Kuster has voted for these Socialist policies. I am the only candidate that can debate and defeat Ann Kuster, because I have lived through them in poverty. We can not continue to have politicians that ignore the needs of people in New Hampshire, push for their far left agendas on the backs of middle-class families, small business and my children’s American Dream. It is time for a change in Washington DC. I will not let socialists and communists destroy my new country because I will be in their way.”

Weare, NH – Today, Lily Tang Williams, Republican Congressional Candidate in New Hampshire’s 2nd District, earned the endorsement from United States Parents Involved in Education Action (USPIE Action).
“I am honored to receive the endorsement from United States Parents Involved in Education Action (USPIE Action). USPIE Action is at the forefront of returning education back to students and assuring the parental role in education.

A steady slide toward education not being transparent, racist indoctrination in classrooms such as CRT, parents being shut out, and federal overreach into our community’s classrooms. In Congress, I will be a champion for putting students first and returning the education to local communities and parents.”
The endorsement in its entirety can be seen here. Founded in 2014, USPIE Action is a 501(c)(4) nonprofit organization that exists to further the goals of freeing the nation’s schools from federal intrusion as they endeavor to impact public policy, influence elections, and support candidates who share their goal to restore local control of education to parents and communities. USPIE Action is the legislative affiliate of United States Parents Involved in Education with the shared goal of abolishing the US Department of Education and ending all federal education mandates.

Contact: gwosewick@fp1.com
Weare, NH – Today, Lily Tang Williams, Republican Congressional Candidate in New Hampshire’s 2nd District, signed the pledge to oppose any new taxes while serving in Congress.
“Today it was my honor to stand alongside New Hampshire GOP Chairman Stephen Stepanek and President of Americans for Tax Reform, Grover Norquist to sign the Taxpayer Protection Pledge. While Congresswoman Kuster has been in Congress, there hasn’t been a tax she didn’t like. The working class families of New Hampshire need a break. Today I signed the Taxpayer Protection Pledge because we cannot continue to levy the mistakes of bloated government on working families. Small businesses have suffered because of unfair and overly complex tax codes and enough is enough. I was proud to stand alongside many fellow Granite Staters committed to lowering taxes and cutting costs”
The flagship project of Americans for Tax Reform is the Taxpayer Protection Pledge, a written promise by legislators and candidates for office that commits them to oppose any effort to increase income taxes on individuals and businesses. Today the Taxpayer Protection Pledge is offered to every candidate for state and federal office and to all incumbents.

Weare, NH – Today, Lily Tang Williams, Republican Congressional Candidate in New Hampshire’s 2nd District, participated in the Salem Chamber of Commerce Candidates Night Forum and illustrated why she is the best candidate for small business.
“Under Congresswoman Ann Kuster, New Hampshire small businesses have suffered. Record inflation due to bad policies and reckless spending has led to rising costs and businesses shutting their doors. We cannot continue to mortgage our children’s future to make up for the mistakes of our current politicians. The path to prosperity is through lower taxes, support of free market enterprise, and less regulation. Representative Kuster has chosen time and time again to align herself with socialist policies that are reminiscent of what I saw in China. Small business in New Hampshire can literally not afford another term of Ann Kuster.”

Weare, NH – Tonight, Lily Tang Williams, scored a convincing victory at the New Hampshire 2nd Congressional District Debate, highlighting her time escaping communism, epitomizing the American dream and her commitment to standing up for the working families of New Hampshire.
“In 1988 I came to America with a $100 in my pocket and a dream to build a life for myself in the land of opportunity. Though I could not speak fluent English, I knew that through hard work and perseverance I could build a family and a future. I’ve witnessed the horrors of communism and lived through extreme poverty. Sadly, we are seeing the influence of communism rooted in the politics of the left today. I am the only candidate that can win in November. As the next Congresswoman from New Hampshire, I will fight to protect our individual rights, work to lower taxes, keep woke leftist doctrine out of our schools and help grow small businesses.”
