Lindsey Marie Williams is an American politician. She is a Democratic member of the Pennsylvania State Senate, representing the 38th district.
In 2014, Williams became communications director for the Pittsburgh Federation of Teachers. She also previously worked for the International Brotherhood of Teamsters.
Weeks before the election, Republicans in the state claimed Williams did not meet the constitutional residency requirement and attempted to remove her name from the ballot. They contended that since she voted in Maryland in the 2014 general election, she had not been a resident of Pennsylvania for at least four years as required by the state constitution. However, the effort was rejected by a court. After she won the election, state Republicans renewed their opposition and challenged her ability to be seated in the legislature. After months of controversy, the Republican leadership in the Senate decided against preventing her inauguration based on the documents produced by Williams. She took the oath of office and was sworn in with other newly elected members on January 1, 2019.
On November 8, 2022, District 38 voters reelected Williams to her second four-year term. She prevailed over Republican candidate Lori Mizgorski by a vote of 70,854 (55.8%) to 56,139 (44.2%).
For the 2025-2026 Session, Williams sits on the following committees in the State Senate:
