Property Tax Reform - Senior Service
hh

Georgia’s seniors deserve the highest level of treatment from the state. I will continue the fight for increasing seniors access to healthcare, working with MARTA and other transportation agencies to improve mobility services and tax reform for the betterment of our seniors.

​

​

Affordable Housing/Gentrification

h

As a State Senator, I would author legislation that requires Metro Atlanta developers to build low-cost (below market value) housing in different areas around the metro area in exchange for the rights to develop other projects around the metro area.

​

​

Equitable Georgia 

h

Every individual deserves to be treated with respect and deserve an equal, fair shake. As a State Senator, I would author and support legislation allowing members of the LGBTQUIA+ community to have the same rights as any other person in our society. I would strongly oppose legislation focused on denying rights of any citizen.

  • Increase LMIG funding for municipal road improvements

  • Increase funding for State Roads and public projects aimed at reducing congestion among public roads

  • Increase opportunities for alternative transportation methods and new emerging technology 

  • Increase education for T-SPLOST opportunities

  • Redesign the MARTOC Joint Committee to deliver results for an effective public transportation system

Confederate Statue Removal


I am strong believer in maintaining our history. However, our government facilities and public parks are not the place for these remembrance items. Any statue or fixture that is located in a public place should be relocated to a museum so that it is properly maintained.
