Right to Be Safe: Every Georgian must feel safe sending their child to school. I will fight for common-sense gun control laws that protect the rights of lawful gun owners, and protect the rights of citizens to feel safe in their schools, parks, grocery stores, and outdoor events such as Music Midtown.
Right to Choose: As a doctor and a mother of 3, I know that decisions about abortion must be between a woman and her doctor, not between politicians in Atlanta. I will fight to protect every woman’s right to choose the medical care that is right for her.
