Issue Position: Creating a Safer, Healthier, Sustainable Georgia

Issue Position

Fully funding our public schools and pre-K

Protecting women's rights and health freedoms

Advancing racial justice and decreasing massive inequities

Addressing gun violence as a public health crisis

Investing in green energy to tackle climate change

As a mom of three, I am fiercely protective of my childrens' wellbeing. Consequently, I am terrified of their futures at the hands of conservative partisanship. When half of our counties have no OB-GYN, when 60 out of 159 of our counties have no pediatrician, this bipartisan fighting not only lacks business sense for our State, but it also lacks dignity.

Secondly, our kids deserve to feel safe at school. So let's address gun violence for what it is: a public health crisis. We need a global solution to improve school safety that includes on-site modifications to school facilities, technologies, protocols, and training. But any successful global solution must include common sense gun regulation and greater access to mental/behavioral health services.

Lastly, climate change is real, and it is right at our doorstep. As global warming intensifies, the Atlanta area continues to experience record-breaking heat waves that demand renewable energy in order to keep our environment safe and our bills cost-effective for our families. We must explore creative solutions to reduce carbon emissions and expand public transit options. I will take immediate action to respond to the threats brought on by climate change.
