Get StartedAtlanta has one of the highest incidence rates of human trafficking in the country. Hundreds of young girls and boys are sold every month right here in Georgia. I was proud to cosponsor legislation in Congress that shut down scores of sex trafficking websites and gave our law enforcement more tools to investigate, arrest and prosecute traffickers. I left home when I was just 17, and I know that it is by the grace of God that I remained safe and have been able to have such an amazing journey. That’s why I am determined to end the horror of trafficking. Learn more
Here in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, we are fortunate to have so many dedicated police officers who work day in and day out to keep our communities and our schools safe. We’ve watched in horror as rioters and looters have hijacked peaceful protests. It hit too close to home when rioters took over the streets in metro Atlanta, destroying businesses, terrorizing neighborhoods, and, sadly, even killing an innocent little girl. Democrats say that the answer is to defund the police. Well, here in our community, our local police have always had our backs, and in Congress, I’ll have theirs. We need our local law enforcement more than ever, and I’ll fight any effort to defund our local police departments and take police out of schools. Learn more
I supported the MISSION Act to allow our veterans to see private doctors when the VA can’t help them or is too far away. In Congress, I will fight the Democrats “Medicare for All” plan which would take away veterans’ Tri-Care – a promise is a promise, and I will work to ensure that we keep it. Learn more
The opioid crisis is taking a devastating toll in Georgia’s 6th District, and together with state leaders like Attorney General Chris Carr, I have worked to pass legislation to support prevention, treatment and long-term recovery programs; curtail the flow of synthetic fentanyl into our country; and strengthen our mental health system. I will continue to fight to stop devastation of addiction and ensure those who need help can get help. Learn more
We must instill renewed confidence in workers, consumers and the markets with sound safety measures, aggressive pursuit of a vaccine, widespread availability of antibody testing, and stronger crisis capabilities. Additionally, liability protections are needed urgently so that businesses can reopen safely and responsibly without fear of frivolous lawsuits. In Congress, I worked with President Trump to secure passage of the Tax Cuts & Jobs Act and will work with him again to make key provisions permanent to help accelerate job creation and economic recovery. I will also work to increase access to capital (especially for small business creation and investment), continue regulatory relief, and implement incentives to draw back manufacturing from China and other countries to the US.

We need to: 1) fund research into the underlying causes of mass violence and the link between mass violence and mental illness, violent video games, and other societal and behavioral factors; 2) ensure that the various levels of law enforcement are interacting effectively and expeditiously in identifying and acting upon potential threats; and 3) facilitate more robust community-based threat assessment training.

Americans need a health system that actually works for them. In Congress, I will again take the lead to ensure that those with pre-existing conditions cannot be left out or priced out. I will also work to: expand private insurance options; decouple insurance from the employer so that individuals can take their plans with them; allow HSAs and HRAs to cover premiums; increase transparency modernize the reimbursement system to include concierge and telemedicine.

In Congress, I will continue to aggressively push for border security and funding for the wall, support for our ICE and Border Patrol personnel, and a system that is fairer and more expeditious for those seeking to come to our country legally. Learn more
