As the 2024 election approaches, New Hampshire voters are faced with a crucial decision in the second congressional district. The stark contrasts between candidates Maggie Goodlander and Lily Tang Williams could not be clearer. Voters must consider not only their political beliefs but also their personal histories and connections to the community they seek to represent. In this case, Goodlander’s questionable background and lack of genuine connection to the state’s citizens highlight why she is not the right choice for New Hampshire. In contrast, Lily Tang Williams embodies the resilience and determination that reflects the true spirit of our state and our country.

Maggie Goodlander, a candidate backed by the establishment with ties to the Biden administration presents herself as a relatable “renter.” However, her reality suggests otherwise. Owning a home valued at 2.2 million dollars in Portsmouth, Goodlander’s claim rings hollow when juxtaposed against the struggles of everyday Granite Staters trying to make ends meet. Her net worth is estimated to amount to over 30 million dollars. This disconnect raises legitimate concerns about her ability to understand and address the needs of working-class families who face rising costs and economic uncertainty. Her statements reveal a candidate more aligned with the elite than with the average citizen—a hallmark of what many perceive as the “deep state” establishment that has lost touch with the American people. She is a DC insider with deep connection to the DC elite. Her husband Jack Sullivan is a national security advisor in the Biden administration. Hillary Clinton stood side by side with her in her wedding photos.

Moreover, Goodlander’s DC connections raises significant questions about her integrity and commitment to New Hampshire’s values. As reported, her track record reflects a series of questionable decisions that may leave voters feeling skeptical about her dedication to the issues that matter most to them. When a candidate appears more concerned about their political ambitions than their constituents, it becomes clear they are unfit for office. The fact that she only rented an apartment in Nashua in order to run for Congress in district 2 while actually owning a multimillion dollar home elsewhere tells you everything you need to know.

In contrast, Lily Tang Williams brings a unique perspective shaped by her experiences as a legal immigrant from China. Fleeing a communist regime, she arrived in the United States with little more than determination and hope for a better life. Her story is one of hard work, resilience, and the quintessential American dream—values that resonate deeply with the people of New Hampshire. Lily’s understanding of the challenges faced by hardworking families is rooted in her own life experiences, making her an authentic advocate for the concerns of her constituents.

Williams does not just talk about the American dream; she lives it. She understands firsthand the importance of individual liberties, economic opportunity, and the role of government in empowering citizens rather than controlling them. Her commitment to these principles, coupled with her genuine connection to the community, makes her the right choice for New Hampshire’s second congressional district.

With an important election on the horizon, voters should prioritize candidates who embody their values and genuinely understand the challenges they face. Maggie Goodlander’s questionable connections and elitist lifestyle starkly contrasts with Lily Tang Williams’ inspiring journey and dedication to serving the people. New Hampshire deserves a representative who will listen, understand, and fight for its citizens—not someone entrenched in the deep state.
