Submitted Biography: "My name is Natalie and I am a wife, mother and grandmother who found time to complete nursing school with an RN. Protecting the Earth and healing humans has been my life's passion. I am an advocate of what is just and balanced in all things, from patient advocacy to human rights. I have lived in north Georgia, District 11, and have watched it evolve for over 50 years. I have seen first hand the struggles, growth and community we have built together through it. Now disabled from surviving a brain tumor, I see many facets of healthcare from both the provider and patient perspectives. From the nursing side, I have seen first-hand the effects of PTSD on our veterans and the dire need for mental health solutions for not just our military personnel, but also our children. I have also seen patients who cannot afford lifesaving medicine breakdown in tears because they knew the cost of life if they could not attain their medicine. From the patient side, I have now been that patient and have worked diligently to be as fully functioning as any able-bodied individual who endures not only surgery, but radiation treatment. I now intimately understand the need for healthcare reform in the United States."

Natalie Richoz (Independent)
It is our civic duty as representatives of the people to ensure that what CITIZENS invest in for their futures is never placed onto the chopping block of Congress again. These include but are not limited to Social Security, Veteran Benefits and Medicare/Medicaid.
While the District's high-income residents have access to more housing options, roughly 45% of the District's households with incomes below $75,000 are having increasing difficulty in finding suitable and affordable housing within our District. This is a multi-faceted problem that will require cooperation between the state and federal agencies.

That is scary to think about for many.
Without improving upon our educational system in the US, we will be left as labor for those countries that learn and utilize technology in leaps and bounds.
With that said, AI lacks discernment.
We can teach AI all day long but if we do not understand how they can be utilized to assist us, they will only be utilized to not only infringe upon the protected sovereignty of our citizens, but also used to prey on our children. We are going to be in a very dark place shying away from bolstering our collective education in STEM.
American citizens cannot handle the tangible, like keeping firearms away from our children. Allowing something intangible to access citizens freely, their information, their data, makes them very vulnerable to bad actors and predatory Big Business.
The rights afforded by the Constitution, and all agreed upon laws of our land should govern AI. Notifying our citizens IN AN OBVIOUS, up front, way of how their data is being utilized by all players should be a priority. It should remain the right of the citizen to allow disclosure or not.
The US needs greater data protection capabilities to avoid further exploitation by bad actors.
When we can do that , then we can broach how AI can slowly begin helping our society. Think about it. We are talking about AI and there are citizens in our country who don't have clean water to drink.
Natalie Richoz (Independent)
So, further uniformity across the machines for one.
Number two, I never believe you need a "middle man" to talk to your Divine. So, "as above, so below", we do NOT need an Electoral College. For most Americans, that's a form of political gatekeeping and some very dishonest actions have been taken by those who are electorates.
It is time to get honest with Americans.

General election race ratings
- See also: Race rating definitions and methods
Ballotpedia provides race ratings from four outlets: The Cook Political Report, Inside Elections, Sabato's Crystal Ball, and DDHQ/The Hill. Each race rating indicates if one party is perceived to have an advantage in the race and, if so, the degree of advantage:
- Safe and Solid ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge and the race is not competitive.
- Likely ratings indicate that one party has a clear edge, but an upset is possible.
- Lean ratings indicate that one party has a small edge, but the race is competitive.[1]
- Toss-up ratings indicate that neither party has an advantage.
Race ratings are informed by a number of factors, including polling, candidate quality, and election result history in the race's district or state.[2][3][4]
