MORRISTOWN, NJ — Anna Lee Williams, community advocate, Rutgers alumna, and proud daughter of Vietnamese-Italian American parents, announced her campaign for Congress today in New Jersey’s 11th District.

"I'm not a politician. I'm a normal person who understands what it’s like to worry about rent, about healthcare, about whether your parents, or even you, can afford to retire,” said Williams. “This campaign is about delivering a Fair Deal to the people who keep our communities running, but are getting squeezed from every direction.”

Raised in South Plainfield, NJ, Anna was the first in her family to graduate college, earning top honors at Rutgers University. Over the last decade, she’s worked across the nonprofit and private sectors, leading programs that support immigrants, expand access to education, help small business owners, and mentor young people.

Anna’s campaign is grounded in a simple idea: If you’ve done everything right — worked hard, paid taxes, helped your neighbors — you deserve a fair deal.

‍

The Fair Deal means:

• Housing That’s Built for People, Not Corporations: Cutting red tape to create more affordable homes in every community.
  
  
• Free Trade Schools & Community Colleges: Opening career pathways without crushing student debt.
  
  
• Expanded Paid Family Leave & Affordable Childcare: Helping parents balance work and home without impossible choices.
  
  
• Retirement with Real Dignity: Strengthening Social Security so you can retire without worry.
  
  
• Clean Air, Clean Water & a Sustainable Economy: Investing in green jobs and protecting our shared environment.
  
  
• An Ethical, Accountable Congress: Banning insider stock trading and refusing corporate PAC money so elected leaders answer to you, not big donors.

‍

“This campaign isn’t about me,” Williams said. “It’s about all of us — and the promise that if you keep your side of the bargain, your government should keep theirs. That’s the Fair Deal.”
