| Collapse all
- Pragmatism and passion to serve the public. Consulting and cooperating on a wide range of family issues in pursuant of a better tomorrow for our children, grandchildren and their children. As an immigrant, a military mother and grandmother, I am focusing on the things that impact my family's life which are things that are impacting other people's lives too in my district. The purchasing power of the dollar is decreasing every day and that is our new reality. Finding practical solutions that will not end up in political commercials but make a difference to the family budget is a top priority. Partnering with the communities and other key stakeholders to shape these priorities for urgent transformative actions.
- Public safety is key to state development and greater prosperity for our nation. The cost of not acting is pretty high and impacts the lives of all Georgians. Building trust and relationships that forges peace and development in the communities, and unity and security at the state level. Building consensus to seek lasting solutions to the economic, social and political challenges must be pursued to strengthen law enforcement, enforce immigration laws to restore the hopes and aspirations for good citizenship in the lives of Georgians.
- Playing field for our children be one of high-quality education to help them reach their God-given potential. It sparks joy for me to see my grandchildren running freely at school and at public parks. Together, our dreams for these children to grow up in stable and prosperous communities is a priority for Georgians. Providing high quality education and health care will strengthen economies, build talents that are critical for building prosperous communities. Our children deserve the future they want, of a prosperous and robust Georgia.
Be aware and informed, provide context on matters and issues of security and safety for the communities at all levels before positions, recommendations and actions are taken. This requires consultation and policy dialogue with all at stake to initiate the appropriate responses to the needs of the communities and citizens.
2. Education and health for community development
• Strong leadership, organization and solid management experience and decision-making skills in managing and working with people, and on policy work.
• Strategic and visionary and strong ability to conceptualize and convey strategic vision from the spectrum of development experience.
• Pragmatic and strong ability to work with people across the spectrum and teams.
• Excellent negotiating and consensus building, and networking skills for strategic and effective partnerships.
• Experience in strategic planning and analysis, economic and social analysis of sectors and policies; solid knowledge and understanding of economic and social issues at state, federal levels and globally.
• Good interpersonal and communication skills for working in multi-cultural environments.
. Experience in rule of law and conflict-resolution.
There is no doubt on the importance of public safety to any community. Public safety is fundamental to the well-being and quality of life of individuals, communities, at state level and for our nation. This is the environment desired for any development - where people can live, work, study, worship, visit, cook-out and pursue their aspirations with great confidence and a sense of security.
Maintaining public safety requires the coordination, cooperation, commitment, care, and implementation of various elements. Law enforcement agencies, including police departments, play a crucial role in crime prevention, investigation, and maintaining order. Their services and proactive engagement with communities contribute to deterrence and early warning and intervention. Effective policing involves community partnerships, intelligence-led approaches, and a partnership that promotes fairness and accountability.
