“Affordability is Georgia's top challenge, and I am running to be a relentless advocate for families facing tight household budgets. I will ensure no corporate actor cheats the system. My priority is ensuring Georgians get the first opportunity to purchase homes and keeping out-of-state corporations from taking them all. I bring the competence and sound judgment needed to protect working families. Protecting vulnerable Georgians and holding wrongdoers accountable.”

“I am deeply passionate about protecting our most vulnerable and keeping our communities safe. Working alongside Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp, I was proud to help author and pass Georgia’s landmark laws cracking down on human trafficking. That commitment led to Rio’s Law, critical legislation that strengthens penalties against predators who exploit minors online and provides vital tools to protect children from digital predators.”
