First to first
Williams was the first Black woman to chair the Georgia Democratic Party in 2019. It was a truly historic feat since the state party was founded in the 1820s.
But she has the opportunity to break further barriers in November. If she is elected to Congress, Williams will be the first Black woman but also only the second American woman to represent the 5th district.
Interestingly, the possibility of this feat is also open to Angela Stanton-King, the Black Republican woman who is contesting the seat.
