Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I am an anti-data center activist and fierce advocate for the protection of rural Georgia. As one of the leaders of Troup County Anti-Data Center Coalition, I secured some of the strongest data center ordinances in the state to protect the residents of Troup from harmful development.

My key objective is to end the pattern of corporate welfare and billionaire-backed politicians who are contributing to the destruction of our rural character while plundering our resources and forcing us to pay for it through higher utility bills and taxes. Additionally, I will fight for medicaid expansion, better access to healthcare with incentives to attract more OBGYNs, and legislation that will increase our home supply in order to drive down housing costs.

Together, we can take back our state from corporate interests and build a Georgia that works for ALL of us.
