Celeste Williams, Candidate for US House AR03
Celeste Williams has over 24 years of experience as a nurse caring for the people in her community. Becoming a nurse and then a nurse practitioner was an answer to a calling to reduce suffering through compassionate care and service, to work to improve the lives of people.
Her formal education has been in nursing, She obtained an undergraduate degree at Southern Nazarene University and her Masters Degree at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences. Early in her career, she worked in the hospital setting in cardiac care, the emergency department, and the intensive care unit. For the past 9 years, She has worked as a family practice nurse practitioner in primary care.
She and her husband Kirk have lived in NW Arkansas for 16 years. They have 2 biological children, 2 adopted children, and 1 foster daughter.
Celeste sees people struggling to afford healthcare every day. Often people have to make the difficult decision to choose between paying for medical care, rent, or food, Celeste believes working Arkansans shouldn’t have to struggle to meet their basic needs. This is why she ran for State Representative in 2018 and has now become chairwoman of the Democratic Party of Benton County. She hopes to build on the infrastructure built this past election cycle and offer better solutions for Arkansas families by getting Democrats Elected.
