I am running for State Representative because I want to continue serving the community I love—Gwinnett. Ours is one of the most diverse and dynamic counties in the nation, and with that growth comes opportunity, but also responsibility. We must plan wisely for the future, ensuring that our expansion does not come at the expense of our quality of life.
I want to make healthcare more accessible, more affordable, and better prepared for the needs of an aging population. I want to ensure Gwinnett’s diversity remains our strength, not a weakness. Most importantly, I want to be the voice for those too often unheard—the hardworking people who make our community thrive but are overlooked in decision-making.- Healthcare should never be treated as a privilege reserved for the fortunate. It is a fundamental human right. The promise of America—life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness—cannot be fulfilled if people are forced to choose between seeing a doctor and paying their bills. No one can pursue happiness if they are simply trying to survive.
- No one in Gwinnett should live under the shadow of fear simply because of the color of their skin, the accent in their voice, or the country of their birth. ICE must be held accountable, because no agency—federal or otherwise—is above the law or beyond the reach of justice. I will fight to end racial profiling, stop intimidation tactics that terrorize our neighborhoods, and demand transparency from ICE operations in Georgia. Our immigrant families contribute to the cultural, economic, and social fabric of this community—they deserve protection, not persecution. I envision a Georgia where diversity is celebrated and every person is treated with dignity, humanity, and respect.
- Across Gwinnett, families are being squeezed by rising costs that outpace wages at every turn—housing, utilities, groceries, insurance—all while corporations and the wealthiest continue to benefit from policies tilted in their favor. We must reverse this trend. I will champion real cost-of-living relief, support small businesses that anchor our local economy, and fight for a fair tax system that no longer shifts the burden onto working people. My focus is on keeping families housed, stable, and thriving. We deserve an economy built for everyday Georgians, not just the well-connected—an economy where people don’t just survive, but truly succeed.
