Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Georgia families and small businesses deserve a strong economy that works for everyone. We can achieve this with a regional minimum wage, apprenticeships that lead to careers, 21st century jobs and a secure retirement.

• It is immoral to take health care away from people and put individuals and families at risk. We can do better.

• Rebuild trust in our government by electing leaders who believe our government should work for all of us.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

I believe that a better path forward must include bipartisanship, common-sense solutions and helping those families of the 9th who have been left behind by this economy, including the one in three children who live in poverty.
