The ad is titled “Fresh Start,” which is a clear reference to her hope for new party leadership.
“Unfortunately, this Congress is stuck in endless dysfunction and partisan gridlock,” Williams said.
“That’s why I won’t be voting for Nancy Pelosi for leader. Instead, I’ll push to find a new leadership team that ensures Congress works for all of us,” she continued.
Williams is not the only Democratic congressional hopeful who has announced opposition to Pelosi.
