In their own words

  • Campaign statement
    Protect our schools in Northeast Cobb and Southeast Cherokee while improving education in Georgia.
  • Campaign statement
    STOP OBAMACARE. Obamacare will bankrupt our small businesses and cause thousands of more job losses in Georgia. In addition, once implemented, Obamacare will add over $500 million to Georgia's state budget. We must do everything in our power in Georgia to fight implementation of Obama's socialized healthcare plan. …
  • Campaign statement
    I will protect our 2nd Amendment rights. We need to expand our 2nd Amendment rights, not limit them. I will oppose any liberal efforts to trample upon our right to bear arms.

  • Key message 1
    Cost of Living- My number one priority under the Gold Dome is lowering costs. Georgians are working more and more while earning less and less. I’ll fight for practical solutions to lower everyday costs, make housing more affordable, and help every family in District 46 thrive.
  • Key message 2
    Affordable Healthcare - Regardless of your ZIP code, every Georgian deserves access to quality, affordable health care. I’ll cut medical costs, expand coverage to millions of Georgians, and strengthen wraparound services for Georgia families.
  • Key message 3
    Education Access - Our focus has to be on what really matters - improving literacy, reducing class sizes, fully funding our public schools, and paying our teachers what they deserve. I’ll make sure that our communities and educators are in the driver’s seat when it comes to education in Georgia.
