Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I want to make Georgia safe, affordable, stable, and strong. I'm a mom and small business owner who is tired of career politicians and internet-stars trying to bolster themselves over the success of our state. I'm running without national-talking points, thinking for myself, and making clear priorities with measurable outcomes.

I offer respect for differing views, shaped by real DC political experience. My experience in the legislative and executive branches is unique in this field. I've lived and worked in DC, so I know what it takes to stand strong for traditional Conservative values. I am also advocating for young families like us, who are struggling with everyday problems. I believe that Georgia has been underserved by politicians who are seeking a social media presence, instead of political stability.

"Return to Normal" governance, will have a healthy economy and responsible leadership, where we can all thrive. GA-14 shouldn't have to cringe at the news because of something their leader is saying. We should trust our Congresswoman with advocating for our community values, with civility and insight.

I want to prioritize school safety, a dynamic infrastructure, upward mobility, and accountability within our House. When we don't have to fight over stupidity, we will be able to make serious strides towards achieving the community you expect. If you want someone who is firm, knowledgable, and consistent, vote for Meg.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Together, we can Return to Normal governance and democratic functions. Extremism doesn't have to be the norm. We can have sharp debate, that isn't disruptive.Average families like mine are suffering. Seniors are also squeezed under the weight of a tightening economy. The answers have not been presented by EITHER side. We can't lead in denial. We also can't lead by expanding entitlement. To strengthen our economy, we need to roll back some regulations, increase competition, push for community production and agriculture, diversify our energy sources, and stop telling businesses what to do by federal fiat.Women need to stand together. For too long, women have been told we are "single issue voters." That's degrading to the multiple needs and aspirations of young women. We want this country to be strong, safe, and stable for our future, too. I want women to follow me and learn more about how we can engage government. We need to talk about homeownership, healthcare, school safety, education, and crime. But we need more than talk, we need action. And that's not waiting on the government to help us - it's time for women to be proactive. With my legislative and executive experience in DC, I'm ready to work with women on WHAT can be done about these pressing issues.
