"Gun-free zone, I keep saying, can actually cause lives. So we need to train our young people and, later, the people who volunteer to arm themselves. We are Constitutional Carry state."

"Inflation is a monetary problem that can be addressed fiscally by stopping the creation of too much money, reducing spending, and cutting deficits. I will support bringing back the balanced budget amendment proposed in 1995 - when the House endorsed a balanced budget amendment to the U.S. Constitution aimed at eliminating federal deficits."

At a July debate Williams said, "Our youth don't understand free market capitalism. When they have a problem, they're going to ask our government to save them, and to go after big corporations… Lots of those problems are caused by government, and government drives up the cost for businesses--small, medium, and big business--so they have to raise their prices."

At a July debate Williams said, "It's fundamentally not fair to girls who want to compete. Biologically man and woman are different and we need to protect girl sports... I think I will support [a federal ban on biological men in girls sports] because I support biology and common sense."

"The Supreme Court’s Dobbs Decision made it clear that this is an issue that should be handled at the state level. Here in New Hampshire, the Legislature has crafted a bill, signed into law by the Governor, which represents the will of the people of our state. As a U.S. Congresswoman, I would not vote to pass a nationwide federal abortion law."

"I would repeal all unconstitutional gun control laws. Like other issues, gun laws should be determined by the people of New Hampshire through the legislative process. I would work with others to address the causes of violence such as unaddressed mental health issues, moral decline, and broken families. I also support access to firearm training and education. The disarming of law-abiding citizens is not the solution to violence."

At a New England College debate Tang Willimas said, "If we do want to continue support -- send the aid to Ukraine -- how are we going to pay for it? What do we cut? Do we cut our people's benefits? Some even cut food stamps to send more money to Ukraine. I cannot do that."

"Over the last several years, people across our district have suffered as the cost of living has skyrocketed. Bad policies out of Washington D.C. have led to spikes in the cost of gas, groceries, housing, and more at a time when their wages are not increasing. In Congress, I will fight to lower taxes on hard working Granite Staters and fight against wasteful spending to lower inflation and the cost of living. I will also fight to eliminate over-burdensome regulations and advocate for lower taxes on small businesses so that they can create better-paying jobs."

"The U.S. is among other countries with the most free and unrestricted voting rights, even though the right to vote is not directly mentioned in the U.S. Constitution, and the 15th and 19th Amendments were written to protect equal treatment under law. Still, we generally understand that voting rights do and should exist. I believe the most effective way to ensure trust in elections is if people believe their votes count and the election process is not manipulated; it is imperative that government is seen as legitimate by the people. Voter ID verifications are proven to help accomplish this."

"The Federal government caused this problem by opening the door for universities to charge higher tuitions through subsidizing and backing of student loans. I would reduce the role of the Federal government in education at all levels from Pre-K through post-graduate levels, bringing this back to the states, counties, and school districts."

"We must maintain a strong economy and continue to develop technologies, like nuclear fusion, and continuously explore all energy options in a free market. We must consider the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that stops the Biden Administration's misguided efforts. The 6-to-3 decision ruled that the EPA does not have the authority to regulate the carbon emissions of power plants. Clearly, the EPA, which was created during the Nixon administration, can no longer create un-legislated edicts which are constitutionally reserved for the States. The people of New Hampshire have a right to decide what is best for them in regards to preserving and protecting our natural environment, while also leading in innovative energy solutions."
