Weare, NH – Lily Tang Williams, Republican candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District, today announced another impressive fundraising quarter, raising $212,171 in the first quarter of 2026.
This brings her total raised to date to $869,483.05, with $573,959.38 cash on hand.
"New Hampshire families are fired up and ready to take back our district,” said Williams. “This robust Q1 performance builds directly on the momentum from last quarter and our record-breaking 2025 totals. It shows the grassroots energy behind our campaign and proves that voters are rejecting the status quo in Washington. As the strongest Republican in this race, we are well-funded, well-organized, and laser-focused on flipping NH-02 red in November.”
“Lily Tang Williams is proving something important in New Hampshire’s 2nd Congressional District: when you speak plainly about the issues that actually affect working families, the support follows — and it follows fast,” said Michael Biundo, Partner at Ascent Strategic.
“Her continued fundraising prowess this quarter demonstrates why she is the clear grassroots leader and strongest Republican in the NH-02 race.”
Williams’ impressive Q1 results — achieved with zero PAC money, unlike her opponent — underscore her prowess as a Republican challenger in one of New England’s most competitive districts.
Powered almost entirely by small-dollar donors from across New Hampshire and the country, her campaign has consistently outperformed expectations. This latest quarter keeps her on track to mount a formidable challenge against incumbent Democrat Maggie Goodlander while expanding her grassroots network and volunteer army.
A survivor of Mao’s Cultural Revolution who arrived in America with just $100, Williams embodies the American Dream she is fighting to preserve. Soon after arriving, she met her future husband John; they have been happily married for 35 years and are the proud parents of three adult children.
As a small business owner and proven conservative fighter, she is committed to delivering results on border security, lower taxes, energy independence, and fiscal responsibility.
With substantial cash on hand and growing momentum, the campaign is poised for an aggressive push through the primary and into the general election.
