Nikema Williams blazes her own trail in the footsteps of history
CNN
It's not often that a freshman member of Congress -- in office barely two months -- gets a shout out from the House Speaker during a congressional signing ceremony for a major piece of legislation. But that's what happened to Rep. Nikema Williams.
Speaker Nancy Pelosi even said that in some ways Williams made passing the $1.9 trillion Covid relief package, the first Biden administration priority, possible. Williams is not only a new House member, she is also the chairwoman of the Georgia Democratic Party, and was a key player in helping the formerly red state elect not only a Democratic president, but two senators whose victories flipped control of the US Senate to Democrats.More Related News
