Gas, utilities, groceries, childcare! I have watched families struggle to meet their bills. I will fight to lower costs.
- Key message 2
One major example is electricity. Georgia has the 4th highest power bills in the country! My opponent, leads the House energy committee. Yet, he has consistently blocked bills that would have helped lower energy costs.
- Key message 3
I don’t have a voting record yet. But I know how I would have voted on just three bills that could have lowered your costs.
