priorities
health care
As a two-time breast cancer survivor and daughter of two medical professionals, I understand the importance of quality, affordable health care. I strongly believe that access to healthcare is a fundamental right, and as your Congresswoman, I will consistently vote for proposals that would allow more Georgians to get covered.
education
When I am in Congress, I will work to fully fund K-12 public education, and to make community colleges, public universities, and vocational schools more affordable for working families. I strongly oppose Betsy DeVos’ agenda in Washington, and I believe that our public schools need to be strengthened in order to give all of our children a solid educational foundation.
gun safety
As a Member of Congress, I will push for implementing background checks for all firearm purchases; raising the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21 years of age; working to defeat conceal carry reciprocity measures; and introducing legislation to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and other criminals.
immigration & daca
I stand with the DREAMers. Full stop. These brave folks have come to the United States through no fault of their own, and America is the only home they know. They serve in uniform, teach our students, help grow our local businesses, and are our neighbors.
lgbtq rights
I support the Equality Act, which would proscribe discrimination of LGBTQ individuals in several areas including in the workplace, housing, and credit and financial assistance. I am also deeply concerned about the treatment of LGBTQ youth, which is why I also support the Student Non-Discrimination Act.
jobs & the economy
I favor focusing on the middle class and working families. In addition to making middle class tax cuts permanent, I want to increase the minimum wage and making the federal earned income tax credit more generous. Growing up, I was taught that if you are able and willing to put in hard work in America, you should be able to earn a living wage. No one in Cobb, DeKalb, or Fulton Counties can comfortably live on $7.25 an hour.
women's rights
I am a two-time breast cancer survivor, so I understand firsthand how essential healthcare options are for women all throughout the country. That is why I oppose the Trump-Handel plan to defund Planned Parenthood. 2.4 million individuals receive health care services from Planned Parenthood every year, and I will fight tooth and nail for the essential services that Planned Parenthood provides. In this vein, I fully support funding programs that help enable women to have the autonomy to make reproductive decisions. This includes greater access to contraception products and family planning services.
