Every Georgian deserves a safe home, affordable healthcare, a living wage, and a great education for our children—but for too many in West Cobb, those basics are slipping out of reach. Working people are doing everything right—putting in long hours, juggling multiple jobs—yet still can’t keep up with rising costs. West Cobb is becoming unaffordable for the very people who built it, and that has to change. It’s time to put working families first and rebuild an economy that truly works for us.
Housing is a human right, yet too many families in Cobb County and across Georgia are being priced out of their own communities. Since the pandemic, the crisis has deepened—and now, according to Metro Atlanta has the highest rate of corporate home ownership in the nation.
Corporate landlords are buying up homes, hiking rents, and letting properties fall into disrepair—all to boost profits while working families struggle to find a place to live. It’s time to put people before profit and make housing affordable again for Georgians.
We must fight to change that.
Here’s how I’ll help advocate for safe and affordable housing for Cobb families:
Promote strong investments in affordable, public, and social housing developments like Atlanta’s AUDC housing
Create strong regulations to keep our housing livable, clean, and safe
Make it easier to rent by reducing income requirements to qualify for an apartment, ending application fees, limiting security deposits, and allowing local governments to control rent
Americans pay the most per person for healthcare.
Every Georgian deserves affordable, dependable healthcare—without the constant fear of surprise bills or denied coverage. Even for families in West Cobb who already have insurance, the costs keep rising while coverage keeps shrinking. The reason is simple: corporate greed. Big Pharma and insurance giants put profits ahead of patients, driving up premiums, prescription prices, and hospital bills. It doesn’t have to be this way—healthcare should be about keeping people healthy, not keeping shareholders happy.
Every family in West Cobb deserves affordable, reliable healthcare that puts people first—not insurance companies or drug corporations. Too many Georgians, even those with insurance, are paying more and getting less. Prescription costs are out of control, and families are one medical emergency away from financial crisis. It doesn’t have to be this way. We can lower costs, protect coverage, and ensure every Georgian has access to the care they need by reining in corporate price gouging and putting patients—not profits—at the center of our healthcare system.
Here’s how we can guarantee healthcare as a right for everyone in Georgia:
Expand Medicaid immediately, with an ultimate goal of a single-payer, Medicare-For-All healthcare system for all Georgians
Pass the Reproductive Freedom Act to immediately lift Brian Kemp’s abortion ban
Invest in maternal healthcare and expand hospitals and medical services in areas that need it to address our maternal mortality crisis in Georgia
West Cobb families work hard, but too often it feels like the economy is working against us. Groceries, gas, and housing keep getting more expensive while paychecks barely stretch far enough to cover the basics. We need an economy that rewards work—not just wealth. That means supporting small businesses, creating good-paying local jobs, and ensuring that anyone who works full time can afford to live and raise a family here. By investing in working people and protecting local businesses from being squeezed out by corporate interests, we can build a stronger, fairer economy for everyone in West Cobb.
Here’s how we can have an economy that works for all:
Repeal Georgia’s anti-union “right-to-work” laws
Support for Parents: Childcare should be affordable so parents can work and still know their kids are cared for.
Better Pay: People who work hard should earn enough money to take care of their families.
End work requirements for essential benefits (disability, healthcare, SNAP, etc)
Our public schools are under attack from powerful special interests and billionaire donors who want to privatize education and profit from our kids’ classrooms. School vouchers—often called “school choice”—are taking millions of dollars away from our public schools and putting them into private hands. At the same time, teachers and students are facing right-wing attacks like book bans, censorship, and anti-LGBTQ legislation, while not enough is being done to keep our children safe from gun violence. We must stand up for our schools, protect our students, and invest in public education that is safe, inclusive, and fully funded for every child in Georgia.
The number one predictor of educational success is poverty.
Free breakfast and lunch should be made available to all students, and we must expand Georgia’s successful
Pre-K services so they are universal and free to all families. We must push for accessible early childhood daycare programs and after-school care.
Teachers deserve increase pay to what they deserve and equip them with the resources and staffing they need to keep our children safe and learning.
As a former violent-crimes prosecutor, I’ve seen firsthand the challenges our law enforcement officers face every day. They need the tools, training, and community support to keep Cobb County safe—and that starts with ensuring they can afford to live in the very neighborhoods they protect. It’s unacceptable that so many first responders who put their lives on the line can’t afford to call Cobb County home. We must invest in our neighborhoods, strengthen community trust, and expand partnerships between law enforcement and mental health professionals so that people in crisis get help, not harm. Real public safety means safer streets, stronger communities, and support for those who serve.
The right to vote is the foundation of our democracy and the cornerstone of every freedom we hold dear. Yet, too many politicians keep making it harder for everyday Georgians to cast their ballots because they fear fair elections and full participation. In Cobb County, we know that strong communities are built when everyone has a voice. As your representative, I’ll fight to protect and expand access to the ballot box—through same-day voter registration, easier mail-in and dropbox voting, ranked-choice voting to save taxpayer dollars, and fair, nonpartisan redistricting. Every Georgian deserves a voice, and every vote should count.
Every Georgian should have the freedom to make personal decisions about their own body—without interference from politicians. Families deserve compassion and privacy, not government control. Right now, reproductive rights are under threat, and too many women are being denied the care they need. As your representative, I’ll fight to restore the right to safe, legal abortion in Georgia and support families with real solutions—like access to affordable birth control, paid parental leave, and quality childcare and pre-k for every child. Protecting reproductive freedom means protecting the health, safety, and dignity of every Georgian.
As a person of color, I know what it feels like to worry that the government could take away your rights simply because of who you are. I stand proudly with LGBTQ+ Georgians who deserve to live with dignity, safety, and equality—free from discrimination and hate. As your representative, I will fight to protect the right to discuss and express identity in our schools, and defend equal rights in employment, housing, and healthcare. Every Georgian deserves to live freely and authentically, without fear or prejudice.
Every Georgian deserves equal justice and protection under the law, no matter their race, background, or identity. Yet the Department of Justice and its Civil Rights Division under the Trump Administration failed to protect many vulnerable communities from discrimination and abuse. Georgia cannot rely on Washington to defend our basic rights—we need strong state-level protections of our own. That’s why I support creating a Georgia Civil Rights Act to ensure that every person in our state is treated fairly, protected from discrimination, and given the same opportunity to live with dignity and respect.
