Convicted felon ex sheriff Victor Hill plans to primary Rep Nikema Williams

Ex-sheriff Victor Hill plans to run against Rep. Nikema Williams in Democratic primary

CLAYTON COUNTY, Ga. — Former Clayton County Sheriff Victor Hill announced on Tuesday night that he plans to run for Congress.

Hill, who was released from federal prison last year, said he will challenge Georgia Rep. Nikema Williams in the 2026 Democratic primary. Williams, who succeeded the late Rep. John Lewis in Georgia’s 5th Congressional District, was re-elected in Nov. 2024.

Hill said he was encouraged to consider a congressional run by his fellow inmates at Forrest City Federal Correctional Institution in Arkansas.
