John, I should have been another statistic. I was born to illiterate working-class parents in China just before Mao’s Cultural Revolution. My childhood was full of poverty, food rationing, chaos, and communist indoctrination.

My family and I lived in a small row house by the river and shared an outhouse with 8 other families. I was brainwashed to be the model communist citizen in schools. I memorized Mao’s words and recited his political slogans as a prayer.

After Mao died in 1976, schools and colleges started to reopen, and after 3 years of hard work and dedication, I passed the national entrance exam. I was accepted into a top-tier university to study law. It was during that time I met an American student, and what he showed me forever changed my life – a pocket-sized U.S. Constitution.

I learned that U.S. citizens have constitutional rights to free speech, free press, freedom to assemble, religious freedom, right to vote and bear arms, etc. Never had I imagined that I, an individual, had rights. Those words shattered my mental shackles, and I started to dream about reaching the land of the free.

In 1988, I made it. I arrived in America with $100 in my pocket and a massive smile.

In the decades since arriving in this great country, I have earned a graduate degree, got married, raised 3 children, started a business, rid myself of CCP indoctrination, naturalized as a U.S. citizen, and volunteered in my community. But I’ve watched as politicians locked us down, closed small businesses, inflated our money, and mortgaged our children’s future. I have seen it all before in China, the division of society, silencing voices, taking away parental rights, the indoctrination of youth, endless government mandates and control.

I fear that the country I love is becoming like the country I left, and that’s why I am running for Congress. It is time to start asking questions.

I’m running in a closely watched race as a proud common-sense conservative. This race will decide the control of the House, and right now, Nancy Pelosi’s allies are outspending our campaign.

I love this country too much to sit on the sidelines.

This race won’t be easy. I’m up against one of the most well-connected politicians in the country, and she knows nothing of what her radical policies could bring to America.

I will always fight for our rights because they saved my life. Will you support my campaign? I’m counting on patriots like you.

Thank you,

Lily Tang Williams
