Get StartedWe must stop using cannabis prohibition to fill our prisons. Cannabis legalization will help break the stranglehold opioids have on Georgia, and provide a myriad of medical benefits to our veterans and neighbors with conditions causing chronic pain and other neurological issues. Cannabis will provide a boon for the local economy, create jobs, and offer new small business opportunities. Hemp based products like paper and plastics are good for the environment and sustainable. I don't personally use cannabis medicinally or socially, but folks who choose to should have that freedom. Learn more
Politicians should not have the power to draw legislative districts that give a candidate or political party an electoral advantage. Not only is gerrymandering common, it's becoming more extreme.

Our state budget has moved too much burden onto local taxpayers. The most glaring example is how the state government and local school districts split the cost of public education. Every dollar earmarked for education cut from the state budget forces us to foot the rest of the bill locally, driving up our property taxes year after year. This is especially hard on rural property owners. I will work to make sure the state government invests properly in school funding, meaning lower property taxes for all of us. We can do this without raising sales taxes by making smart decisions that will bring in millions of dollars in new revenue, starting with legalizing cannabis and sports betting. Learn more
