Continuing a lifetime legacy of dedicated public service. Maisha Williams is a proud Democrat running for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida's 20th Congressional District (FL-20) across Broward and Palm Beach counties.
For over 14 continuous years, Maisha worked in the office of Florida Congressional District 20 alongside her late stepfather, Congressman Alcee Hastings—resolving 478+ active constituent cases and assisting 9,000 relocated students and families during the 2022 housing affordability crisis.
Raised in Lauderhill since age six and holding degrees in Finance from Kaplan University and Mortuary Science from Philbrick School of Mortuary Science, Maisha brings deep institutional mastery of federal agencies—including the Social Security Administration (SSA), Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS), and Small Business Administration (SBA)—to deliver immediate, day-one results for every community from Fort Lauderdale, Lauderhill, Lauderdale Lakes, Tamarac, Sunrise, Plantation, Pompano Beach, North Lauderdale, and Oakland Park to Belle Glade, Pahokee, South Bay, Royal Palm Beach, Lake Park, Riviera Beach, Mangonia Park, and West Palm Beach.
Maisha's legislative blueprint addresses the urgent economic and social challenges facing District 20 families: enacting federal rental caps and expanding HUD Section 8 housing voucher acceptance to end family displacement; overhauling 11th and 12th grade public high school curricula to integrate certified vocational, trade, and union apprenticeship pathways for the AI economy; defending Social Security, SSI, and Medicare from administrative cuts; reforming VA Community Care to eliminate months-long medical and dental wait times for veterans; and auditing SBA small business lending algorithms to end redlining in Black and minority zip codes such as 33311 and 33313.
Maisha Williams is a Democratic candidate for the U.S. House of Representatives in Florida's 20th Congressional District (FL-20), spanning parts of Broward and Palm Beach counties. She served for 14 continuous years in the FL-20 congressional office alongside her late stepfather, Congressman Alcee Hastings.
Maisha Williams's platform focuses on implementing federal rental caps and expanding HUD affordable housing solutions, overhauling 11th and 12th grade education with vocational and trade school pathways, protecting Social Security and Medicare from DOGE cuts, reforming VA Community Care for veterans, and eliminating algorithmic bias in SBA small business loans.
No. Maisha Williams for Congress is 100% people-powered and accepts zero corporate PAC contributions. Our grassroots campaign is funded entirely by everyday working families, educators, veterans, and small-dollar donors across Broward and Palm Beach counties so Maisha remains accountable exclusively to the residents of Florida's 20th Congressional District.
