Campaign themes

Littrell's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]

Government bloat

  • Excerpt: "When elected, I will work to reduce and consolidate these programs, curbing spending and oversight of our state government."

Medical cannabis

  • Excerpt: "Put simply, we can save lives with medical cannabis, and when elected, I will work to ensure our state enacts a robust program to ensure patients can have open conversations with their physician about medical cannabis and then access this life-saving medicine in a safe and controlled environment here in our state."

Term limits

  • Excerpt: "When elected, I will introduce legislation to limit terms for career politicians. And as a gesture of good faith, I will also impose a maximum of eight years of service on myself."

Criminal justice reform

  • Excerpt: "When elected, I will put an end to using our criminal justice facilities as mental health facilities, and work to enact drug abuse prevention, treatment and education programs by cutting the cost of the failed drug war’s trillion-dollar price tag in half and reallocating the remainder towards drug abuse prevention, treatment and education programs."

Job creation

  • Excerpt: "When elected, I will work tirelessly to bring jobs back to Northeast Georgia by offering tax breaks and financial incentives to companies willing to relocate."
