Community Organization Cites Williams Passion for Fixing a “Broken System”
New York, NY – Today, Citizen Action of New York announced its endorsement of Nantasha Williams to represent the 33rd Assembly District in Cambria Heights, Queens.
“Nantasha is the best candidate for the job,” said Leila Nashashibi, a member of Citizen Action’s New York City Chapter board. “She is passionate about fixing the system so that it works for regular New Yorkers. Her strong progressive values will prove to help set our state government on a path toward serving all people. We’re excited to work with Nantasha once she is elected to represent the 33rd Assembly District.”
“Citizen Action fights for integrity and accountability in government and electoral politics.” Said Williams. “I am deeply honored to receive their endorsement. I look forward to working in partnership with this highly respected organization on issues of equity and justice when I’m elected to the Assembly.”

As the representative of Assembly District 33, she will work for state funding for education and youth development programs, foreclosure prevention for working families, and comprehensive criminal justice reform.
