I believe everyone deserves a high-quality education and equal access to healthcare, because investing in people affords opportunities to all.
issues that matter most
I believe that government plays a critical role in our lives. Through functions like education, public safety, and infrastructure, to name a few, government sets the stage for the success of its citizens and the private sector. At the Georgia Senate, I’m proud to be a voice for equality and expanding opportunity for all Georgians. I stand for the promise of high-quality public education for all. I believe no one should be denied access to a doctor. And I believe in an inclusive economy and fair pay for hard work.
