LIST OF ISSUES
REPRESENTATION
The job of a State legislator is to legislate on behalf of the community that it serves. Unfortunately for the last 2 years, our current Senator has burnt bridges connecting him to the community. Further because of his actions he has rendered himself completely ineffective within both the Senate and House. Going as far as to be banned from House property. I intend on doing everything I can to repair the connection between Atlanta and Northwest Georgia. I will start by making sure that I am working with the people in my district directly because this is my home. I will then work to repair the connection with my colleagues in Atlanta so that our voice here can be taken seriously and heard.
PRO-LIFE
As a born again Christian, I am pro life.. I do agree with Georgia's abortion law that limits elective abortions past the point of hearing a heartbeat. From a legislative position, I intend on working tirelessly to make sure pregnant women and families have the resources they need to be able to feel confident in their decision to keep that child. To me, to be pro life means to fight the fight of making sure women have access to necessary resources to know they can be successful with their pregnancies and raising the children afterwards.
PROTECTING CHILDREN
Our children are our most vulnerable in our society. As adults and legislators, especially, it is our job to protect them to the best of our ability. For this reason, I am against the government funding of gender affirming care for minors.
EDUCATION
Education is certainly multifaceted and I do not pretend to be an expert on it. However, there are many wonderful educators in my district that I will be leaning on to help guide the way in telling me what their needs are from a public education standpoint. As a homeschooling mother, I do believe in the ability to have true school choice and will advocate for that.I also believe that our government has traditionally made it quite difficult for educators to simply educate. I would like to work to remove government tape and ridiculous requirements so that we can get the power back into the hands of the educators.
LAW ENFORCEMENT
I support our law enforcement officers. They work day in and day out to make sure that we are safe and protected. Again, this is another area that I certainly am not an expert on, but I know some amazing officers, sheriffs etc.. in my community that are. My position is supporting them in whatever way I can to make outcomes better for both officers and the people they are dealing with.
SECOND AMENDMENT
I am of the mindset that if the government can have it to protect itself, I can too. We must ALWAYS protect this right because if we were to ever lose it, then we are in dangerous territory. This isn't just for guns. This is for armor, all protection etc. I can assure you, I will always protect this fundamental right.
SMALL GOVERNMENT
I believe that our government was never intended to be as large as it is. We are at a point where the government has really involved itself in all facets of our lives. You can't turn around without there being some sort of government involvement. While I do believe that some government is necessary and especially necessary to make sure we have funding for projects etc.. I will always be working to see where we can cut unnecessary spending, programs etc. If we can scale back the government, we will be able to thrive.
