Congresswoman Nikema Williams represents Georgia’s 5th congressional district in the US House of Representatives.
The Fifth Congressional District is a historic district, a seat formerly held by Congresswoman Williams’ friend and mentor, civil rights icon the late Congressman John Lewis. Congressman Lewis represented the Fifth District for over 30 years, until his passing in 2020. Congresswoman Williams contributed to history by being elected as the first Black woman to represent Georgia’s Fifth Congressional District.
Congresswoman Williams was elected as the Freshman Class President for the 117th Congress. As President, she organizes and advances the interests of her Freshmen Democratic colleagues to fulfill their oath to work for the people.
Before her congressional election, Congresswoman Williams served in the Georgia State Senate. As a State Senator, Williams got in the “Good Trouble” Congressman John Lewis spoke about. In the wake of the disastrous 2018 Georgia elections, marked with rampant voter suppression, she was arrested at the Georgia State Capitol while peacefully protesting with her constituents that every vote be counted.
Congresswoman Williams was born in Columbus, GA and raised by her grandparents in Smiths Station, Alabama. She attended Talladega College – a liberal arts Historically Black College in Talladega, Alabama.
