Get StartedIn a state with the highest maternal mortality rate in the nation, we can’t afford to deny anyone reproductive healthcare. We also can’t continue to be a state that claims to be pro-life while refusing to support new parents and young children. Learn more

Criminal justice reform. Learn more
Every child in Georgia deserves an education. And our teachers deserve more respect, protection, and compensation for their impact on the future generations. As your Representative, I will fight to better fund public schools in Forsyth. Learn more
I will also fight for policies that protect all students, regardless of background. That means better special education programs. Expanded dual immersion programs. Protections for LGBTQ+ students. Removal of policies biased against students of color, such as bans against certain hairstyles. Rethinking dress codes that teach young girls their bodies are shameful and young boys that they aren’t responsible for their own actions. Learn more
Clean air, clean water, and clean soil are vital to human life. They are inalienable rights of every living person. We can and should do more to protect our water, land, and air. Though Georgia ranks well for air quality nationally, we rank 30th for pollution. It is time to stop putting profits over preservation. No one’s bottom line is more important than the health and quality of life of Georgians. 11% of Georgians have asthma — that’s twice the national average. We rank #2 for most pollution from vehicles. These are distinctions I’d rather not have. Learn more
Slowing down climate change and taking steps to reverse what we can is something that needs to be addressed at the corporate level. Personal actions like reusable shopping bags and food containers are great. But real change can’t occur unless corporations are reigned in. I will fight for policies that make companies – the biggest polluters doing the most harm – reduce their environmental impact. Learn more
I am not against gun ownership. Many of my friends and family own guns. I have spent a fair amount of time shooting guns. I will spend more time shooting guns. I don’t have a problem with guns. I have a problem with America’s addiction to guns and our lack of regulation around them. Learn more
We have a public health crisis in this country. Gun violence. Not just mass shootings. America isn’t just number one in mass shootings in the world. Our gun violence rates across the board are astronomical. From suicide, domestic abuse murders, and accidental deaths up to mass shootings, we have a gun problem in this country. Learn more
The failure of our Governor and Legislature to expand Medicaid has had disastrous effects for Georgia, especially those in rural areas. Georgia ranks 39th in the United States overall for healthcare, and 41st for access. Our maternal mortality rate is the highest in the nation at a rate of 46.2 – a number that jumps to 66.6 for black women. Half of all counties have no OB/GYN. Some counties have no doctor at all. We have some of the highest healthcare prices in the nation, but a median income of less than $30,000. Learn more
I believe the value you are taxed on for your primary residence should be the value you paid. This protects the most vulnerable among us and reduces housing issues. Learn more
