Candidate for GA, House of Represenatives 67th District
My mission as your representative is centered on three key pillars: educational recovery, economic empowerment, and environmental sustainability.
I am dedicated to advocating for effective educational recovery strategies, ensuring our public schools are fully funded, and expanding opportunities for apprenticeships. My focus on economic development is rooted in supporting a living wage and fostering regional economic growth through job creation and entrepreneurship. Environmental sustainability is also a crucial aspect of my work, where I aim to ensure safe practices in our local landfills and protect our waterways.
Together, we can create a brighter future for our district, one that is grounded in education, economic prosperity, and environmental responsibility.
Community Action Center
The Democratic National Committee’s Local Listeners program is built around a simple idea: Democrats are stronger when they listen first. The program trains volunteers and organizers to have real, relationship-based conversations—especially in communities that often feel ignored—so local concerns, not assumptions, shape messaging and outreach. Instead of leading with talking points, Local Listeners creates a feedback loop that helps campaigns stay grounded in what voters actually care about.

Reports show rising violence inside federal and state prisons, putting incarcerated people and correctional staff at serious risk. Overcrowding, staffing shortages, and limited oversight have contributed to unsafe conditions that undermine rehabilitation and public safety. This petition urges Congress to investigate the causes of escalating violence and take action to improve safety, accountability, and humane conditions within the prison system.
