"Inflation is a monetary problem that can be addressed fiscally by stopping the creation of too much money, reducing spending, and cutting deficits.

At a July debate Williams said, "Our youth don't understand free market capitalism.  When they have a problem, they're going to ask our government to save them, and to go after big corporations… Lots of those problems are caused by government, and government drives up the cost for businesses--small, medium, and big business--so they have to raise their prices."

"The Supreme Court’s Dobbs Decision made it clear that this is an issue that should be handled at the state level.

"Over the last several years, people across our district have suffered as the cost of living has skyrocketed. Bad policies out of Washington D.C. have led to spikes in the cost of gas, groceries, housing, and more at a time when their wages are not increasing. In Congress, I will fight to lower taxes on hard working Granite Staters and fight against wasteful spending to lower inflation and the cost of living. I will also fight to eliminate over-burdensome regulations and advocate for lower taxes on small businesses so that they can create better-paying jobs."

"We must maintain a strong economy and continue to develop technologies, like nuclear fusion, and continuously explore all energy options in a free market. We must consider the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision that stops the Biden Administration's misguided efforts. The 6-to-3 decision ruled that the EPA does not have the authority to regulate the carbon emissions of power plants. Clearly, the EPA, which was created during the Nixon administration, can no longer create un-legislated edicts which are constitutionally reserved for the States. The people of New Hampshire have a right to decide what is best for them in regards to preserving and protecting our natural environment, while also leading in innovative energy solutions."
