In Their Words

What they have said, on the record

“The Republican Farm Bill ignores the millions of working families struggling to keep food on the table—the kids going to school hungry and the parents skipping meals to afford healthcare. It also leaves our 1890 land-grant HBCUs stuck with stagnant funding, even as inflation drives up costs and demand for their services grows. These institutions are pillars of education, research, and opportunity in our communities, and they deserve real investment—not neglect. As Trump's trade war, tariffs, and inaction on affordability strain family budgets, Republicans are choosing to cut SNAP benefits that keep people fed while shortchanging the very institutions that help communities build a path forward.”

Congresswoman Nikema Williams' Statement on Republican Farm BillMay 2, 2026 · Official · Official [house.gov] · source

“This $5.1 million investment is about protecting people and expanding opportunity across the Fighting Fifth. It will strengthen local infrastructure, create pathways to good-paying jobs through workforce development, and support community safety—including essential security measures for HBCUs in our district as targeted threats continue to rise. These are real investments that respond to real community needs. I'll continue fighting to bring federal resources home and deliver for the communities I am proud to represent.”
