On Budget & Economy: We are living at the effect of an unjust economic system

Bernie Sanders and Donald Trump both said to the American people: I understand your rage. I understand you're upset with an obviously economically rigged system. And that is what the Democrats need to offer in 2024. A president who isn't just saying, "Oh, it's going well," to millions of people for whom nothing like that is true, but rather we understand that you are living at the effect of an unjust economic system. And we are going to change that. Source: ABC This Week on 2023 Presidential hopefuls Mar 5, 2023

On Principles & Values: I want to disrupt the system, not perpetuate it

So the system that is now saying that I'm unserious, and I'm not credible, or I'm a long shot is the very system that protects and maintains this idea that only those whose careers have been entrenched within the system that drove us into a ditch should possibly be considered qualified to lead us out of that ditch. My qualification is not that I know how to perpetuate that system. My qualification is that I know how to disrupt it. And that is what we need.

On Civil Rights: Declare transgender murder/suicide a national emergency

Transgender rights are a hot-button social issue, with Republican-led legislatures passing laws restricting access to gender affirming care for transgender youth and limiting the ability to discuss gender identity in schools.

President Biden has voiced support for transgender rights, but has faced some scrutiny from LGBTQ+ advocates over his plan for transgender athletes in high school sports.

Williamson has called for more protections for the LGBTQ+ community, including for transgender individuals. She supports declaring transgender murder and suicide rates a national emergency, legislation requiring police departments to "ensure fairer interactions with transgender people," and implementing LGBTQ+ inclusive public education, according to her campaign site.

Robert F. Kennedy Jr., however, has broken from most Democrats on one key issue surrounding transgender rights, saying that he is "against people participating in women's sports who are biologically male."
