Williams

Williams has spent time focused on a few core fights. Each is tied to bills actually introduced or votes actually cast.

• 01
  Voter registration should follow people when they moveWilliams has sponsored legislation that would require automatic updating of voter registration records when a registered voter notifies a government agency of an address change. She introduced this measure in multiple Congresses, reflecting sustained attention to registration portability as a component of election administration (HR.5290, HR.4909).
• 02
  Election mail standards warrant federal legislative attentionWilliams has sponsored the Election Mail Act in successive Congresses, a bill directed at establishing federal standards for the handling of mail-in ballots and election-related postal materials. The measure has attracted cosponsors in the 50-to-99 range and has been reintroduced across legislative sessions (HR.2987, HR.4915).
• 03
  Reproductive rights merit formal congressional recognitionWilliams has sponsored concurrent resolutions commending state and local governments for enacting or preserving reproductive rights protections, framing such policies as human rights measures. She introduced this resolution in multiple Congresses, drawing cosponsors numbering 100 to 199 in each session (HCONRES.65, HCONRES.130).
• 04
  Voting access should extend to young and unhoused AmericansWilliams has sponsored the Youth Voting Rights Act (HR.5293), which addresses voting eligibility and access for younger Americans, and the Unhoused Voter Opportunity Through Elections Act (HR.4914), which addresses registration and participation pathways for individuals experiencing homelessness. Both bills received committee referral and substantial cosponsor support.
• 05
  Employers should be required to provide voting leaveWilliams sponsored the Time Off to Vote Act (HR.4908), which would establish a federal requirement for employers to provide workers with time off to cast ballots. The bill attracted 50 to 99 cosponsors and was referred to committee, adding a workplace-policy dimension to her broader election-participation agenda.
