Putting Community First

Communities are the foundation of society — and when communities succeed, we all succeed.

Strong communities don't happen by accident. They are built through safe neighborhoods, good schools, affordable housing, and local businesses that keep our economy moving. They grow when families have access to fresh food, kids have safe places to play, and neighbors have spaces to come together.

As your Congressman, I'll fight to make sure GA-12 gets its fair share of resources and investment. That means:

Housing & Infrastructure
What I'll do: I'll fight to bring home federal funding for safer roads, stronger bridges, and affordable housing so families have a place they can be proud to call home.
Schools, Trade Programs & Higher Education
What I'll do: I'll push for federal funding that strengthens schools, expands trade schools and apprenticeships, and makes college more affordable through increased Pell Grants.
Access to Healthy Food
What I'll do: I'll work to expand programs that attract grocery stores, farmers' markets, and mobile markets to food deserts — and fight for stronger SNAP and WIC benefits so families can afford fresh food.
Parks & Recreation
What I'll do: I'll support federal conservation and infrastructure funds for parks, ballfields, and recreation centers so kids and families have safe, healthy spaces to grow.
Small Businesses & Jobs
What I'll do: I'll fight for small business loans, federal grants, and development programs that help local businesses open, grow, and hire — while working to bring good-paying jobs into GA-12.
Community Leaders & Local Voices
What I'll do: I'll work to establish a community advisory board of pastors, educators, veterans, small business owners, and nonprofit leaders — and have a dedicated staffer in my office to help communities apply for federal grants.
Safety
What I'll do: I'll ensure law enforcement and first responders have access to federal support, training, and equipment — and I'll fight for prevention programs like youth mentorship, mental health care, and drug prevention that keep families safe before problems start.

Because community isn't just a word — it's where we raise our children, care for our neighbors, and build our future. And when our communities succeed, we all succeed.

Fairness is dignity in action —

and it's how we make sure every family in GA-12 gets a fair shot.

Fairness means that if you work hard, you ought to be able to support your family. It means our veterans shouldn't have to fight the VA to get the benefits they've earned. It means your zip code shouldn't determine your access to healthcare, good schools, or job opportunities.

As your Congressman, I'll fight for fairness by:

Raising wages and lowering costs
I'll fight for policies that help working families — from raising wages to lowering the cost of prescription drugs and utilities.
Tax fairness
I'll work toward a tax system where corporations and the wealthiest pay their share, so working families and small businesses aren't carrying the load alone.
Fairness for veterans
I'll fight to cut red tape at the VA, expand access to mental health care, and make sure veterans in GA-12 get timely, quality care close to home.
Fairness in healthcare
I'll work toward expanding access to affordable healthcare and mental health services so every family can see a doctor when they need one.
Fair opportunities for education and work
I'll fight to strengthen trade schools, apprenticeships, and higher education so every young person has a fair shot at building a future, no matter which path they choose.
Fairness for farmers and farmworkers
I'll work to cut through the red tape in the H-2A visa system so our farmers get the reliable workforce they need to stay competitive. And I'll fight to ensure workers are treated fairly and with dignity, because strong agriculture depends on both.

Because fairness isn't a handout — it's a principle. When the rules are fair, and everyone plays by them, our families and communities thrive.

Dignity

Every person deserves to live with dignity. No matter who you are, where you come from, or what stage of life you're in, you should be treated with respect and valued for your contribution to our community.

For me, dignity means respect in action. It means making sure seniors can retire without fear, veterans get the care they earned, and working families don't have to sacrifice their health or their children's future just to get by.

Here's what dignity looks like in practice:

Honoring our seniors with secure Social Security and Medicare they can count on.
Standing with veterans, ensuring timely care, mental health support, and the resources they need to thrive after service.
Protecting workers' rights, so no one is forced to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their family.
Expanding access to mental health care, because no one should feel alone in their struggles.
Respecting every person's voice in our democracy, making sure elections are fair, open, and accessible.

Dignity isn't a luxury — it's a fundamental right. It's about making sure every single person in Georgia's 12th District is seen, heard, and valued.

Together, we can build a future where dignity is at the center of how we govern and how we treat one another.
