Campaign website
Johnson-Green's campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Healthcare I’ve been a nurse for 20 years. I’ve worked tirelessly to ensure that every one of my patients receives the care that they need, but it’s not always enough. To help my poor and rural patients, I started a non-emergency medical transportation service to help chronically ill patients to and from their appointments. Still, so many in my community lack access to affordable healthcare, my family included. In 2013, my husband had a seizure in our home. He was taken by medical helicopter to the hospital, where a large brain tumor was found and removed. He lost the ability to walk, but made a full recovery by the grace of God. I am thankful everyday that my husband is still with us. During his recovery, we faced enormous challenges, not just with his health, but with our debt. Because his employee health insurance had lapsed, his treatment cost us nearly $500,000. It is unacceptable that any American is driven to bankruptcy by medical debt through no fault of their own, let alone the tens of thousands that are every year. We don’t just need to make insurance more affordable, we need to make healthcare more affordable. That’s why I am proud to support the Medicare for All Act, to ensure that everyone in my community, and yours, can get the treatment they need and deserve.
In 36 states, legislatures draw the district lines that determine their electorate. To advantage themselves, legislators often abuse the urban-rural partisan divide to draw maps that make districts non-competitive. This process is called gerrymandering and it is designed to skew the weight of your vote and give you the illusion of choice while protecting incumbents. We can end this by mandating independent redistricting commissions that will designate districts without concern for partisanship. Additionally, I support the overhaul of the campaign finance laws to prevent corporations and wealthy individuals from using their wealth to buy undue influence by funding campaigns through political action committees, anonymous donations, and unaccountable dark money in federal and state elections. When elected, I vow to reform campaign finance laws that undermine democracy for the benefit of the rich. Since the Voting Rights Act was gutted in 2013, voting rights have come under attack on many fronts. Politicians everywhere have a vested interest in making it harder for you to vote. That’s why, in order to protect the foundation of our democracy, we must revise the Voting Rights Act and take steps to ensure the security and accessibility of our Elections.
It is long past time to add sexual orientation and gender identity to the federally protected classes in order to uphold the rights of our friends, family, and neighbors. I believe in the urgency of acting to safeguard the livelihoods and rights of LGBT+ citizens. To this end, I support the Equality Act, which would expand existing civil rights laws to make discrimination on the basis of gender identity and sexual orientation illegal. The fairness and respect building block creates peace, hope, and economic opportunity, and minimizes the cycle of hate and conflict, which reduces productivity.
It has long been said that education is the great equalizer. Never has that been more true than in today’s labor market. According to a study by Georgetown University Center on Education and the Workforce, 65% of all jobs in America require education or professional training beyond high school. According to the Census Bureau, only 59% of Americans meet that requirement. For black Americans, that number is 53%, and for Hispanic Americans, it’s 37%. This is one of the largest factors that perpetuates the racial wealth gap and makes it harder for all Americans to give their children the opportunity that should be afforded to them. Quality public education is part of what once made America the land of opportunity, and it is time to update the structure of our education system to meet the needs and challenges of a changing economy and to ensure that this opportunity is available to all. Every child deserves a chance to achieve higher education, regardless of their family’s wealth. That’s why I support making tuition free at public colleges and universities throughout the country. The student debt crisis is possibly the greatest danger to our economic security today. Student loan debt has surpassed $1.6 trillion, while median income stagnates and class mobility falters. We need to find a reasonable and effective way to solve this crisis before it causes another recession.
To have a healthy and prosperous nation, we must combat the effects of climate change. Clean air and clean water are vital to our health and existence. We need to increase our usage of solar and wind energy sources, reduce carbon emissions and protect our natural resources. Climate change is a real issue with real costs that should no longer be ignored. I support transitioning the United States to a fossil fuel free, 100% renewable energy system and fully modernized electrical grid. Rather than investing your tax dollars in revitalizing the obsolete coal industry and other nonrenewable and polluting forms of energy, we should invest in retraining workers in those industries for the next chapter in American industry and building alternative energy production plants, creating green job opportunities, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and ensuring America’s economic and environmental leadership. The effects of lax environmental regulations are life-threatening and especially detrimental to low-income communities, furthering the cycle of poor health and poverty. Climate change is the single biggest security threat for the United States. The effects can be seen in the current climate refugee crisis throughout the world. We must take larger steps to address it.
Even though the United States contains just 4.4% of the world’s population, we imprison 22% of all prisoners. Over 4.5 million people, nearly 2% of US adults, are in prison, jail, or on parole. If we are to revive our legacy as the Land of the Free, we must end mass incarceration and the destructive war on drugs, and revise the mandatory sentencing guidelines that prop up the school-to-prison pipeline and promote recidivism. I support ending for-profit prisons and detention centers, including those used in the current detention of immigrants and their children. This will begin to eliminate the artificial demand for prisoners which incentives incarceration, but we must also dismantle the legal requirements that mandate it. Currently, about 45% of Georgia’s prisoners are awaiting trial for a nonviolent offense. Your fellow citizens, who have not even been accused of a violent crime, are spending months behind bars, on your dime, without trial. That is why I also support eliminating cash bail for nonviolent offenders. Mass incarceration is the latest iteration of a long line of policies that adversely affect minorities and it is a stain on the moral fabric of this nation. Currently America spends close to $250,000 per person per year incarcerating individuals who are guilty of non-violent crimes. Investing instead in education, job training, mental health care and reform is a much more constructive, effective, and humane form of justice.
The previous administration has launched an all-out war against immigrants and refugees. From religious discrimination against Muslims, to denying claims of asylum to those fleeing gang violence and domestic abuse, to separating and incarcerating children and families seeking refuge in our country, our treatment of migrants isn’t just inhumane, it’s illegal. If we want to end illegal immigration, we should make legal immigration easier, not harder. We need to reform our immigration laws to expedite the process of getting a green card or applying for citizenship. Migrants are an important part of our history, our culture, our economy, and our community and expanding legal immigration is the best way to guarantee their safety and yours.
I am a strong supporter of social security and I oppose dismantling the system which hard working Americans have paid into their entire lives. The Social Security Fund, which has been plundered to pay for endless wars, uneven tax cuts, and other expenses, is your money. Don’t let anyone tell you you aren’t entitled to it. If we don’t resist this extremist agenda of dismantling beloved and effective social programs, Social Security will become insolvent by 2034. Without it, more than 40% of seniors would have incomes below the poverty line. Adjustments need to be made to discretionary spending to make sure retired Georgians are paid what they’re owed. I will never support raising the retirement age or slashing benefits paid to our elders.
It is the right of every law abiding citizen to keep and bear arms. Gun ownership is a massive responsibility and steps should be taken to ensure the safety of our communities. Gun safety is of paramount importance in our schools; students must have an environment that is conducive to learning and not disrupted by the threat of gun violence. There are many measures geared toward this goal already in place, but we must address the faulty mechanisms that often render them unenforceable. We need to create a nation-wide firearm eligibility database that is interconnected from state-to-state. Someone convicted of an offense that prevents them from purchasing a firearm in one state should not be able to simply purchase one in a neighboring state or at a gun show. The Tennessee Waffle House shooting may have been prevented if the state of Tennessee would have known that the shooter’s gun license had been revoked by the state of Illinois. Throughout the United States, cities and states with strong gun laws have managed to cut gun violence significantly without infringing on Second Amendment rights. Common sense gun control can save lives and make communities and schools safer by banning assault weapons, high-capacity magazines, and bump stocks. The Federal Assault Weapons Ban, which had a clear impact on the toll of mass shootings, should be reinstated, strengthened, and made permanent. Convicted domestic abusers and stalkers should be required to surrender their firearms. One in five gun owners obtained their most recent gun without a background check. Those barred from buying guns often gravitate towards a “private sale”, which is another dangerous loophole in the background check system. I support mandatory background checks on all firearm purchases or transfers, whether from a gun shop, internet, gun show or private sale. The congressional ban on studying gun violence should be ended immediately. Gun ownership is a serious responsibility and gun owners should be held liable for failing to secure their guns when a firearm is involved in a crime or accident. Improving gun safety and enacting common sense legislation can help prevent the tragic loss of more innocent lives while ensuring that no law abiding American is prevented from owning firearms for self defense.[2] |
