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?
Georgia ranked second in family farms
filing bankruptcy in 2025. In District 157,
agriculture drives the economy. Family
farms are vitally important to the
success and health of our district.
Georgia farmers have suffered from
increasing operational costs, high
inflation, and low commodity prices. We
must seek legislation to ensure that our
farmers, both small and large, are able to
continue to supply us with food while
operating in the black.It’s not a secret – costs are increasing.
With a family of six, I understand first
hand the impacts of inflation on working
class families. We can’t wait for
Washington to function properly while
families in our own state suffer. Families
need relief that makes sense. Relief that
will be impactful and shore up the
present while creating a better future.
We have the power at the state level to
provide that relief. I will fight for
working class families and our future.We wouldn’t be rural Georgia without a
vibrant environment for hunting and
fishing. While costs are rising, it is
becoming increasingly important to be
able to “live off the land.” My parents
always taught me that as long as I can
fish and hunt, or know someone who
can, I’ll never go hungry. Our region has
become a prime target for increased
real estate developments, huge
manufacturing sites, and potentially
large data centers. All of these can
impact our environment in negative
ways. I am not against growth or job
creation, but it must be done in a way
that gives while it takes, preserves while
it creates progress, and protects while it
prospers.
What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?
Rural Families &
Community Support
More access to Out of School
Time/After School programs and
activities in Rural Georgia. Children in
rural Georgia often lack the resources
during out of school hours to solidify the
results of the effort put in by their
teachers everyday. Adequate
programming would provide not only
that, but a safe, fun, and clean
environment for kids to increase
learning in school subjects, hobbies, and
life skills. It could provide a meal that
some kids may not get otherwise, and
the mentorship that some kids need. It
could also provide connection to a
community that many struggle to attain
in this social media-driven society.
