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.
About Lily Tang Williams
Born in China during Mao’s Cultural Revolution to working-class parents, Lily Tang Williams immigrated to the United States with nothing and built a life as an entrepreneur, educator, and community leader in Weare, NH. A living embodiment of the American Dream, she brings a uniquely powerful perspective to the fight for freedom and limited government.
In 2024, Williams won the Republican nomination and captured 47% of the general election vote against current incumbent Maggie Goodlander — coming closer than any Republican has in over a decade to flipping NH-02. She is back and running stronger than ever in 2026.
I’ve challenged both @EdMarkey and @sethmoulton (if Seth wins the primary over Markey)
To accept a FIVE DEBATE CHALLENGE - starting the first week of September and continuing until voting begins.
Holding FIVE debates is NOT out of the ordinary. Six years ago, Markey debated @joekennedy SIX TIMES during the primary.
I’ve even suggested the debates be hourlong single issue debates, on topics like foreign policy, housing, energy, healthcare, and women’s reproductive rights. I even said we can do an hourlong debate on Markey and Moulton’s favorite topic: Donald Trump.
So far, Markey has agreed to only participate in TWO primary debates. It’s time we lock in multiple general election debates, as well.
@sethmoulton: will you agree - assuming you win the primary - to participate in FIVE general election debates?
We can consider the debate on June 16 with @kelleratlarge as one of the five.
Considering Markey called me a MAGA Trump-loving Republican, I should be easy pickings during debates before MA voters. Unless, of course, Markey is lying through his teeth and he’s afraid of voters hearing non-partisan, common sense solutions to their problems.
There is so much on the line. Let’s see who has the right plans to move the commonwealth and our country forward.
I’m calling on all local and national media to pressure both Markey and Moulton to commit to a FIVE DEBATE schedule.

Last year, I was proud to support President Trump’s rescission package totaling $9.4 billion.
I think it’s long past time for Congress to pass a few more of these rescission packages. It’s time to end the wasteful spending.
We’ve got your back, Cheryle. Healthcare costs are going down in Ohio after we win & I’ll start by prosecuting the fraudsters who are raising prices for everyone else.
Good to be with @JoeSweeneyNH at his Casino Night and Campaign Kick-Off in Salem. He does the work and gets the job done. Count me in as an enthusiastic supporter of Joe!
It’s official: @SenScottBrown is making his third bid for U.S. Senate, says he will surprise the establishment the way he did in 2010.
@nhgop@nhdems#NHSen
How idiotic is NH's primary calendar? When candidates show up at the Sec State's office for first day of filing Wednesday, 22 states will have already held their primary elections.
Fortunately, this is the last cycle for a Sept. primary. Early June starting in 2028.

🚨🗳️Today, I publicly ranked my full ballot live and unedited. I explained every decision and gave credit where it was due.
Agree or disagree — at least you know exactly where I stand.
Today, I held a press conference and filled out a giant ballot to show Mainers exactly where I stand.
My rankings:
1. David Jones
2. Ben Midgley
3. Owen McCarthy
4. Johnathan Bush
5. Garrett Mason
6. Robert Wessels
I intended to rank Robert Charles #7, but when pen came to paper, it just didn’t feel right. Trust matters and at this point, Robert Charles has not earned mine.
I have kind things to say about every person I ranked - this was something I really had to think about. Each of the candidates I ranked has shown up during this campaign to FIGHT LIKE HELL and build a strong Republican Party.
JOIN ME TO OFFICIALLY FILE FOR U.S. CONGRESS
I will officially file my candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives, New Hampshire’s Second Congressional District June 4th, 2026.
We plan to meet at 12pm on the steps of State House Capitol Building Thursday June 4th, 2026, then proceed inside to file at 12:30pm in Secretary of State office.
107 North Main Street, Concord, NH 03301
Campaign signs will be provided.
We will then proceed inside to meet Secretary of State David Scanlan in his Office at 12:30pm where I will officially sign up!
I chose June 4th to file for office because it is the anniversary of the Tiananmen Square Massacre in China. This sober day highlights my personal emigration journey to the United States, and ongoing fight for freedom here at home and around the world.
37 years ago, an estimated 10,000 peaceful protesters across Beijing and more than 200 other cities nationwide were murdered by the CCP military.
These victims were labeled as “Counterrevolutionaries”, their cases sealed and Chinese words such as "June 4th”, and "Tiananmen Massacre" are still banned today on the Internet in China.
In 2024, I won the Republican nomination and captured 47% of the general election vote against now incumbent Maggie Goodlander — coming closer than any Republican has in over a decade to flipping NH-02.
I am back and running stronger than ever in 2026. This will be an exciting grassroots campaign.
Please help me win to keep America and New Hampshire free.

Republican congressional candidate Ben Butler expands coalition of local support across rural Florida
@BenLButler: “President Trump carried Okeechobee County because the people here don’t just talk about America First, they live it every single day.”

LET’S DO SOME MATH:
The United States has existed for about 250 years (1776–2026). Markey has been in elected office for 53 years - that’s 21.2% of the entire history of our country.
The U.S. Constitution took effect in 1789 - meaning the federal government itself is only about 237 years old. By that measure, Markey’s been in elected office for 22.4% of the constitutional republic’s existence.
One man has spent more than a fifth of America’s entire history in elected office - with zero days of private sector experience in between.
