| Collapse all
- I believe that everyone should have a right to vote and that voting should be made easier and not harder in the 21st century. I believe in Statewide Medicaid Expansion. And I believe Mental Health is real and more legislation is needed.
- Even though women reached a historic record after the 2020 election making up 32.5% in representation, women are still underrepresented in State Legislature and all forms of government. Therefore, 32.5% is Not Enough. Why can't we have 51%. I believe if more women had a seat at the table more would get done.
- I’m asking voters to send a woman back to finish the job that Rep. Tish Naghise started. To send a message that this seat is not a seat of convenience, but a seat that requires work, commitment, consistency, A Leader. Because visibility matters, accessibility matters, You matter.
Healthcare access for all Georgians.
Mental Health.
Education.
Environment.
Reproductive Rights of Women.
