| Collapse all
As a family, we are concerned with how to ensure the best education for our kids, how to access the best healthcare within our means, and how to make sure our kids are safe. At the capitol, I will fight for these issues and more. I will work hard to bring practical solutions that benefit our local families and the State of Georgia.
We are native North Georgians, and we chose to raise our family in Flowery Branch because we love the small town feel and the close-knit neighborhoods. We attend First Presbyterian in Gainesville, and I enjoy volunteering in the community, and loving on our two adopted pups, John Lemon and Jon Snow.
- I will stand for access to quality, affordable healthcare in Georgia, with a particular focus on expanding Medicaid and making prescription drugs more affordable for families.
- I will fight to fully fund our schools and to provide equal educational opportunities for all.
- I will work hard to protect our environment, especially Lake Lanier, and to promote green energy and green manufacturing to energize the industry that is the largest employer in GA HD30.
My family also is focused on education. With three kids attending public schools, I've come to find that schools must be fully funded and given flexibility for each child to have an equal opportunity to learn.
Moreover, I am a strong advocate of Georgia's HOPE scholarship program because I couldn't have gone to college without it.
We are also concerned with leaving behind a healthy environment for our kids. I believe water discharge limits should be frequently evaluated and regularly enforced by fines and measures that incentivize violators to make long term changes. I also believe that we should provide incentives for all to adopt green practices. I am ready to fight for this at the capitol.
