Robert Williams is the Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Pennsylvania’s 15th congressional district. Williams is a former EMT who found his calling as a minister in his community in California. He eventually moved to Burnside Township to be closer to his family. Williams previously ran for office in Anaheim, which he says helped shape his values of community service.
As a healthcare worker, it is no surprise that affordable healthcare is Williams’ main priority. He believes health care is a right, not a privilege. Williams also believes the key to creating decent jobs and supporting local families is through investments in infrastructure improvement. He supports veteran communities and is advocating for better wages, improved housing conditions and more mental health resources.
Williams is challenging Republican incumbent Glenn Thompson. Thompson’s voting record shows a disregard for the needs of the constituents in his district. In 2019, Thompson voted against the Voting Rights Advancement Act, which would protect Americans' right to vote. Later that year, he voted against the Lower Drug Costs Now Act, which would have helped elderly citizens in his district. In 2020, he voted against the Protecting America's Wilderness Act, which would protect the countryside where his neighbors live. In the middle of a pandemic, Glenn Thompson joined Republicans in their near unanimous vote against full extended unemployment insurance, stimulus checks, support for health care systems, protective gear and testing for frontline workers, mail-in election funding, funding for state budget shortages to prevent layoffs, and new small business loans.
Robert Williams is the clear progressive choice in this race.Robert Williams
