Hamza Nazir completed Ballotpedia's Candidate Connection survey in 2024. The survey questions appear in bold and are followed by Nazir's responses. Candidates are asked three required questions for this survey, but they may answer additional optional questions as well.
| Collapse all
- After losing 2 of my cousins within the span of two weeks in March, I decided that healthcare is going to be my main issue, Georgia is one of the last states which refuses to expand medicaid. Medicaid expansion would allow over half a million Georgians to receive the affordable quality healthcare they need. I believe we should expand medicaid, because no one should have to choose between life or death due to the cost of healthcare.
- Recently children in Forsyth county schools have bought weapons to school, these events could’ve resulted in far worse outcomes if the weapons weren’t discovered in time. No parent should ever have to send their kids to school worrying if they will make it back home alive, for me the safety of our children is of the utmost importance. I believe we need to introduce legislation which encourages responsible gun ownership, it is possible to protect our freedoms and at the same time protect our future generations from gun violence.
- Due to the rapid growth of Forsyth county, the current infrastructure is deteriorating and unable to keep up with the current population. In order to alleviate the stress on our roads and reduce traffic. I will work to bring jobs to Forsyth county. Currently most residents have to commute out of the county for work, if we incentivise companies to invest in Forsyth county, we can reduce the traffic for those who will still need to commute out of the county. A positive externality of this would be that the high property prices in Forsyth county would be more sustainable due to the increased demand coming from a greater job market.
