I'm running for US House District 14 to restore dignity and respect to the house and to serve it's constituents.
  • The incumbent is a national disgrace and must be replaced.
  • I am the only experienced candidate running and can maximize the number democrats who will vote in November.
  • We are not doing enough for kitchen table issues currently and we need to get back to basics.
Maintaining and strengthening our democracy.
Paperboy, at age 11 and held it for a year.

Campaign website

Blalock’s campaign website stated the following:

MAGA Madness

I’m committed to be part of the democratic majority and breaking the seditious caucus known as MAGA. A cult like ideology that needs to be eliminated. With a strong democratic majority we can show people an alternative to strong man fantasies.

The Problem with Big Money in Politics

Special interests have run amok in Washington and aren’t helping us solve our biggest issues. Politicians like Marjorie Taylor Greene have no issue taking money from bigots and extremists. I haven’t taken any money from Corporate PAC and I won’t in the future.

Reproductive Freedom

Abortion rights are healthcare. We shouldn’t have ignorant politicians putting barriers between women and their doctors. I support a federal law that would overturn state mandates on abortion like we have in Georgia.

Small Business

Small Businesses are suffering in Northwest Georgia and MTG has done nothing about it. I’m a small business owner myself and operating through a complex web of regulation makes it harder. We should make it easier to connect small businesses with federal resources to not only exist but thrive.

Big Pharma

We must fight for lower prescription drug prices, big pharma has increased the price of vital medications for our seniors beyond a price they can afford and we can’t stand for this any longer. Most western nations put limits on the price of pharmaceuticals and we need to follow their lead.[2]

I have 10 years experience in the city government. I served as the Deputy Director of Planning in Forest Park and managed citizen concerns and came to mutual beneficial resolutions. I'm running on an environmental platform this year as it's a very underserved topic in city council races this year and it would be my legislative priority.
  • The majority of this position is dealing with citizen/constituent concerns and I have experience dealing with public.
  • Maintaining and expanding our tree cover is key in mitigating the effects of climate change at the local level.
  • This is a position of service, I am out here fighting for the common man in Atlanta and we need a truly representative council.
Community Question Featured local question
We should look at more bottom up ideas from residents than top down answers. The people of Atlanta have amazing experience and insights into what we can do to make Atlanta a better city. We should severely limit the impact of corporate and out of town organizations in our government.
Community Question Featured local question
The next mayor will focus on getting us to the recommended level of policing, but I would like to focus on the root causes of crime which are a lack of resources and opportunity.
Community Question Featured local question
Decriminalization of marijuana can free up resources for more pressing matters, therefore I am for it.
Community Question Featured local question
We need better public transit options and we're making progress. I would like to look at data and make recommendations on upcoming proposals like bus rapid transit and an expanded streetcar to make sure they are effective.
Community Question Featured local question
I would like to look at 1 cent SPLOST for sidewalks and stormwater infrastructure. We also need to make sure we aren't leaving federal or state money on the table for improvements, because that has been a issue in Atlanta.
I want to implement a social impact bond simliar to what implemented years ago in the City of Denver. It's an innovative idea and has independent assessments of it's progress over time.
We aren't looking at other cities successes and we're stuck in a 1990's mentality when dealing with the unhoused. We can judge a society by how it treats it's least fortunate members.
Abraham Lincoln, he led this nation during the civil war and if a weaker man was president at the time, our union may have not survived. He had a clarity of purpose, passion, and sense of justice that should be inspiration to us all.
Being transparent and ethical are the most important traits for an elected official. It's also important to be empathatic and work hard for the people.
If you do your best and leave this world in better shape than you found it, that is a legacy of success.
The Grammy Award Winning 1999 Hit Smooth By Santana Feat Rob Thomas Of Matchbox Twenty
The ability to console and comfort citizens. Having empathy and understanding of the concerns of the residents of your district is just as important as being smart.
I believe experience in city government will be very useful as background for the nitty gritty of public service and gives me the perspective of coming up with logical solutions to improve the process of city government in Atlanta.
A willingness to listen and learn from others, no one person has all the answers and it's important to realize your limitations and have an open mind.
