Williams says she feels she would be able to get more done for constituents on the state level than at the city level.
Pasadena Councilwoman Felicia Williams will vie for the 41st State Assembly seat that will become open with longtime incumbent AssemblymanWilliams was elected to the Pasadena City Council in 2020 to represent District 2, which is bounded roughly by Lake Avenue, Colorado Boulevard Craig Avenue, and Lexington Avenue. She was appointed vice mayor last December.
Williams said she wanted to run for higher office because she felt the council’s hands were tied on major issues, and found she could probably help the city more on the state level than on the City Council. Williams said if elected, her priorities would be land use and planning, the environment, and financing infrastructure.
Williams also changed her party registration from a Democrat to No Party Preference just before she took office.
