"I challenge the idea that the people who got us in this ditch are the only ones who can get us out of it,” Williamson said.in June and sought to clarify her position on childhood vaccinations saying that while she supports the concept of vaccines she doesn't support the idea of anyone on either side of the debate mandating what people should do.
"I understand the issue of public safety must come first. But I also understand that we must have a balance between public safety and the issues of individual freedom," she told the show's hosts and said that she doesn’t trust the “propaganda on either side.”In 2014, Williamson ran as an independent to fill a seat in California’s 33rd Congressional District.
She finished fourth, despite having raised about $2 million dollars and gaining endorsements from celebrities like Kim Kardashian and Nicole Richie. Alanis Morrisette even wrote her campaign theme song. She told ABC News of that congressional race,"What I vastly underestimated was the significance of the fact that I knew nothing about running a political campaign."
