Lily Tang Williams Officially Files for Congress in New Hampshire's Second District

CONCORD, N.H. — Today, Republican congressional candidate Lily Tang Williams officially filed her candidacy with the New Hampshire Secretary of State's Office, marking a major milestone in her campaign to represent New Hampshire's Second Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives.

Williams, an entrepreneur, legal immigrant from Communist China, and independent conservative, said she is running to restore fiscal responsibility, defend individual liberty, secure America's borders, and fight for the values that have made New Hampshire and America exceptional.



"I am honored to officially file for Congress and continue this fight on behalf of the people of New Hampshire," said Williams. "I came to America legally from Communist China with just a few dollars in my pocket, but with hope and determination. The freedoms and opportunities I found here changed my life forever. Today, I am running to ensure that future generations of Americans enjoy those same freedoms and opportunities."

Williams said voters throughout the district are increasingly concerned about inflation, federal spending, border security, government overreach, and the nation's unsustainable debt.
"Washington is spending too much, borrowing too much, and interfering too much in the lives of everyday Americans," Williams said. "The people of New Hampshire deserve a strong, independent voice who will challenge the status quo and always put citizens before special interests."

Williams has built a serious grassroots movement fueled by volunteers and supporters who believe Washington needs more citizen leaders and fewer career politicians. From the last federal campaign finance disclosure, she leads New Hampshire Republican federal candidates in individual grassroots contributions.



"As someone who experienced life under communism, I know how precious freedom truly is," Williams said. "I will never stop fighting to protect the liberties guaranteed by our Constitution and to preserve the American Dream for our children and grandchildren."

Williams pledged to continue meeting voters throughout New Hampshire's Second District and earning support through direct engagement with Granite Staters.

The New Hampshire primary election will be held on September 8, 2026.
