ASBL 32 Anna Lee Williams, 2026 Candidate for Congress, NJ District 11

Anna Lee Williams is running as a Democrat for Congress in NJ’s District 11. We discussed the promises on her website, AnnaLeeWilliams.com. “You deserve a Fair Deal. You show up for your family and community, you pay your taxes, and you've done everything right.”

“Instead of fighting to solve issues for you, Congress is self-enriching, refusing to retire, and pandering to a small minority of ultra-wealthy donors. There’s a word for this: corruption.”

“In a world that feels increasingly unstable, we need normal people to run for office and to make decisions that better represent all of us. I'm running for Congress because you deserve to be heard.”

People in New Jersey told her their top concerns. Ann’s Fair Deal includes:

Healthcare

Housing

Education

Childcare & Families

Retirement

Worker Protections

Transportation

No More Corruption

“These are polarized times,” Anna said, “and people need leaders who will find solutions along a path moving forward.”

We also discussed the ASBL’s Don’t Cheat Women project, which wants Congress to:

Raise from 5% to 15% the federal contract dollars that must go to women-owned small businesses.

Women are half the population. They own 40% of all businesses. But they get less than 5% of federal contract dollars. Men get at least 95%.

Without economic fairness, women can’t be political equals. Men hold more political offices and have more political influence simply because they earn and save more than women.

The American Small Business League (ASBL.com) is an advocacy group working to end the diversion of federal small business contracts to big businesses. Our Don’t Cheat Women project (DontCheatWomen.com) seeks economic fairness for women so they can be political equals. Our economy will boom when only small businesses get “small business” contracts and women get a fair share of federal contracts.
