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.
