Get StartedAs your next state legislator, I will look at economic development through the lense of my own experience as a minority business owner. I want to ensure that we support small businesses, while continuing to bridge the gap of job inequality and insecurity. Learn more
Investing in education should be a no brainer. Well educated citizens can truly aim to live to their full potential. At the General Assembly, I will work to invest in education, including expanding preschool programs. I will also find creative ways so that children receive a quality public education regardless of where they live. It truly hurts me to see wide disparities within the schools in my district. A parent should not have to uproot his or her family because their local schools are failing, nor should they lose sleep over how to pay for college like I did when my two older sons were in high school. I will work to ensure that our citizens are equipped for the jobs of tomorrow by offering affordable college and technical degree programs today. Learn more
Georgia ranks at the bottom when it comes to extending healthcare to our most vulnerable, while at the top of maternal mortality. How can we let this stand? Fully expanding Medicaid is the cheapest option to cover the 1.5 million uninsured Georgians yet our leaders refuse to do so. Instead of cutting critical services from our State’s budget, we should be leading by expanding Medicaid coverage to poor mothers, including offering more prenatal and postpartum health care. As a mother of four, I simply cannot bear the thought that new mothers in Georgia, particularly African American mothers in rural Georgia, are dying from preventable deaths at unprecedented rates. This is why I cannot stand still. This is why I walk every day to meet new voters. This is why I am running. Learn more
