Congresswoman Nikema Williams

This is a government takeover. Plain and simple. Elon Musk and DOGE should be nowhere near the CDC.   DOGE is something Trump and Elon made up to act as their undemocratic attack force. #FireElonMusk

In @USHouseFSC, I passed the recently introduced No New Burma Funds Act alongside @RepYoungKim. This bill makes sure not a single dollar goes toward propping up Burma’s oppressive regime. We support refugees with words and action. #RefugeesWelcome in the #FightingFifth

Trump is using a lawless #ICE as his secret police to target U.S. Citizens and legal residents. I’m a cosponsor of the Stop ICE From Kidnapping U.S. Citizens Act to ensure families in the #FightingFifth and across the country are kept safe from Donald Trump's cruel and illegal…

I recently met with Bryan Fair, the Interim President of the Southern Poverty Law Center, to discuss our efforts to eliminate the racial wealth gap and protect voting rights. In the #FightingFifth, your #vote is your voice—and we must protect it.    I am proud to continue working…

Almost nine out of ten Americans over the age of 65 rely on prescription medications, yet one in four struggle with the cost. I've heard heartbreaking stories from #FightingFifth constituents who are forced to ration their medications. This shouldn't be happening. That's why…

For many people in rural areas, it's already almost impossible to access reproductive health care—especially without taking time off work. We should be focused on expanding health care access, not taking it away. We can’t afford to lose the care Planned Parenthood provides.

Congress in Your Community is coming to the Forest Park neighborhood tomorrow, July 23rd! Join #TeamNikema from 1:00 PM to 3:00 PM at the Forest Branch Library. We look forward to meeting you and answering your questions, #FightingFifth!

Reminder: Last week, Republicans voted to slash already-approved funding to #publicmedia—hitting families hard, especially in rural areas.   These cuts will cost Atlanta's WABE $2 million, and the #FightingFifth deserves better. I won't stop fighting for them.

Black women in Georgia are 3x more likely to die from pregnancy-related causes. Cutting Healthy Start funding will only make this crisis worse. That’s why I introduced the Advancing Maternal Health Equity Under Medicaid Act—to give states the resources they need to fight this…

Women and families deserve an economy that works for them—not one that works for billionaires. #Trump and #Republican policies have driven up costs and made it harder for women to care for their families and build a secure future. We’re fighting for affordable care, fair…

#Trump is illegally withholding over $7B in K-12 funding, hurting students nationwide by cutting teacher training, after-school programs, and classroom resources. Atlanta Public Schools in the #FightingFifth alone were expecting $5.3M. With school starting soon, I've joined my…

#TeamNikema visited Lake City to help constituents connect with resources and get answers to their questions and concerns. My team and I are always here to serve the people of the #FightingFifth. Reach out to my District Office if we can assist you with any federal agency or if…

This week, I stayed on the Hill fighting into the dead of night as Republicans tried to sneak another bill by Americans, this time targeting funding for #publicbroadcasting. Read more about my work for the #FightingFifth in #NikemasNotes.

#Trump is pushing an anti-affordability housing agenda—gutting the HOME program and firing 700+ HUD staff. In places like the #FightingFifth, where we have one of the widest racial wealth gaps in the country and skyrocketing housing costs, defunding the HOME program will make…

Trump isn’t just abandoning Sesame Street for Wall Street—he’s abandoning the kids and families who enjoy public broadcasting every day and the rural communities who rely on it. I voted no to these $1.1 billion in cuts, which will impact every child in the #FightingFifth and…

Leslie, Carter, and I extend our deepest condolences to the family of Congressman Bill Clay Sr. As a founding member of @TheBlackCaucus and Missouri's first Black Congressman, he paved the way for future generations. May he rest in peace. We will continue to pray for his family…

Lake City! #TeamNikema is here to help! Don’t miss out on the opportunity to connect with the team and get your questions answered. #FightingFifth, it's time to show up and show out.

I cannot support an inflated defense bill that abandons working families in the #FightingFifth and across the country. Please read my full statement.

Instead of addressing the housing crisis, Republicans want to rip away already-approved funding, which raises costs, weakens national security, and cuts PBS Kids—hurting children like my own #CarterCakes. I will always vote NO on any plan that puts #Trumps radical agenda over…
