Making Life More Affordable—Especially at Home
The American middle class, once the backbone of our economy and the heart of our communities—is shrinking. For decades, it represented stability, opportunity, and the promise that hard work could lead to a better life. But today, that promise is slipping away. Too many families in Northeast Georgia are being priced out of their own communities. I understand that the cost of living—especially housing—is outpacing wages, and it’s putting the American Dream out of reach for working people.

Defend What People Rely On
In today’s tough economy, too many working families are barely getting by as shown by the fact that 70% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, I support strong, reliable government programs that ensure access to healthcare, education, and other essential services—because cutting these resources hurts the very people who need them most. We need policies that lift people up, not push them further behind. That means protecting access to affordable housing, expanding job opportunities with fair wages, investing in public schools, keeping our rural hospitals, and making sure seniors can retire with dignity. These are the building blocks of a healthy, thriving community—and they should be available to everyone, not just a privileged few.

Upholding The Rule of Law: A Cornerstone of Democracy
The rule of law is the foundation of a functioning democracy. It means that laws apply equally to everyone—no matter how powerful, wealthy, or well-connected they may be. When we uphold the principle that no one is above the law, we protect the integrity of our institutions, ensure accountability, and build trust in our system of government. Without it, democracy begins to erode, and the voices of everyday people are drowned out by those who believe the rules don’t apply to them. Defending the rule of law isn’t about politics—it’s about preserving the fairness, justice, and stability that every American deserves.
