Over the last decade, Georgia’s state government has been defunded and our infrastructure is crumbling.
We have 10,000 fewer state employees than ten years ago. Republican budgets have cut our public schools by ten billion dollars over ten years. Georgia cannot afford another lost decade.
Everyone benefits when our public schools are funded, when everyone has access to affordable healthcare, and when workers earn enough wages to stay home when they’re sick.
It’s time to reinvest in the people of Georgia.

Georgia’s 40th District

It was a privilege to speak at Mental Health Awareness Day at the Capitol. Over 1,000 people from across Georgia came to the Capitol in support of "The Year of the Peer" as we addressed Behavioral Health policy. The Late Speaker David Ralston was the champion for addressing mental health issues, but I can assure you, his efforts have outlived his physical presence on earth. I told advocates, "You must live your story, share your story, and use your story to advocate for change."![]()

It’s not the state’s job to determine if a woman intentionally caused her miscarriage, or to investigate a doctor who may have performed an abortion to save a mother’s life, or to force people to subscribe to one particular religious view on when life begins. It is the government’s job to protect our right to privacy, dignity, and personal belief. ![]()
