Women’s Reproductive Rights
Getting pregnant shouldn’t be a death sentence.
An out-of-control Supreme Court and radical anti-abortion laws passed by Republicans have destroyed normal standards of medical care expected by women during pregnancy. The result is that a wanted pregnancy can quickly turn into a life-threatening nightmare.
Georgia has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country and it’s getting worse. The overturning of Roe has set us back 50 years and Republicans’ attacks on reproductive rights are causing OBGYNs to flee the state.
This is unacceptable. Our families deserve better. Full reproductive rights is essential healthcare. If you elect me to Congress, my highest priority will be to codify bodily autonomy and full reproductive rights into law.
Strengthening and protecting Democracy
We need to pass the John Lewis Voting Rights Act to get dark money out of politics and make voting more accessible and fairer. The federal government can be a counterbalance to a state government that wants to limit access and make it harder for us to vote. Marjorie Taylor Greene’s lack of recognition of free and fair elections is unacceptable conspiracy nonsense and we must push back on it.
Jobs, Jobs, Jobs
Being in Congress is not a ceremonial job. Real decisions that impact real people are made in DC. And when losers like Marjorie Taylor Greene perform for the cameras instead of doing the work, our friends, our families and our neighbors suffer.
MTG is so ineffective that Federal funding which should be directed towards building infrastructure to attract good businesses and good jobs in our district is going to other states with better congresspeople. The direct result is that jobs aren’t available and our communities are lagging behind.
Elect me to Congress and I’ll make sure dollars start flowing to our district again.
Protecting Medicare
Republicans are coming for your Medicare. Trump started the process by allowing private companies to drain people out of the system by making big promises while offering substandard plans. If they retake full control of Congress they plan to dismantle and privatize Medicare once and for all.
Privatizing Medicare would have a devastating impact on the health of America’s seniors. I will protect Medicare and the right of participants to choose the doctor of their choice. I will also fight to expand the services offered to include robust dental, vision and hearing benefits.
Big Pharma
We must fight for lower prescription drug prices, big pharma has increased the price of vital medications for our seniors beyond a price they can afford and we can’t stand for this any longer. Most western nations put limits on the price of pharmaceuticals and we need to follow their lead.
Public Safety
We must invest in training and grants for gun safes to encourage responsible use and storage of guns. Irresponsible gun owners are the primary pathway criminals use to acquire easily stolen guns. I recognize the constitutional right to bear arms but we must encourage safe gun storage and proper training to keep guns out of the hands of minors and criminals.
Middle East Conflict
I support a ceasefire and the immediate resumption of food and medical aid into Gaza.
Marijuana
The federal government should decriminalize marijuana. We have the highest prison population in the world – partly due to the misguided 30 year war on drugs. No one’s future should be destroyed for recreational or medical activities done in their own homes which do no harm to others. Furthermore, legalized marijuana will bring high-paying jobs to Northwest GA and tax revenue which our state can use for education and to make healthcare more affordable.
