I am someone who believes that district 134 desires a leader who still believes in transparency and is willing to fight for the citizens of District 134. I think that laws should not discriminate and divide individuals and families. We need a lawmaker committed to making policies that bring Georgians together instead of separating us.
  • On voting rights: I believe every eligible voter in Georgia should have the right to vote and have it counted without barriers.
  • On Medicaid: I believe expanding Medicaid in Georgia is the human thing to do. Being able to do something for all Georgians and having the authority to make a difference in another human being's life is expected of you as a representative of District 134.
  • On Minimum wage: It is time we start having actual conversations about the minimum wage in the State of Georgia
