Put People Over Politics for Georgia’s Future

Quality of Life And Affordability

Families across our community are feeling the pressure of rising costs. When people are struggling with everyday expenses and housing affordability, it is time for leaders to step forward and focus on solutions.

Young people and early-career professionals are finding it increasingly difficult to make ends meet as the cost of housing and everyday expenses continues to rise. For many new graduates and working families in our district, renting an apartment or purchasing a first home feels out of reach. According to news reports more than one in four single-family rental homes in Atlanta are owned by large corporations, a trend that housing advocates argue is driving up prices and making it harder for families to buy homes.

This is an issue that affects our entire community, regardless of political affiliation, and it calls for thoughtful, balanced solutions. We should work together to curb such practices and support first-time homebuyers, and provide targeted, responsible tax relief where it can make a real difference. By encouraging public-private partnerships, reducing unnecessary and focusing on policies that promote both economic growth and affordability, we can ensure that young people have a fair opportunity to live, work, and build their future right here in our community.

My campaign will focus on advocating for responsible leadership, supporting policies that strengthen communities, and ensuring equitable access to state services so that every resident has the opportunity to succeed.

Plan First. Build Smart. Move Better

Traffic congestion across Johns Creek, Roswell, Alpharetta, and South Forsyth has reached a breaking point. What was once limited to rush hour has now become an all-day challenge, affecting families, commuters, and local businesses alike. Much of this strain comes from rapid growth without the infrastructure and long-term traffic planning needed to support it, leaving residents stuck in traffic and quality of life declining.

We need a more balanced, common-sense approach to growth—one that aligns development with infrastructure, rather than reacting after the fact. That means requiring better coordination between local and state planning, investing in road improvements and intersection upgrades, and ensuring that traffic impact is addressed before new large-scale developments are approved.

At the same time, we should explore smart solutions such as synchronizing traffic signals, expanding key corridors, improving access roads, and supporting public-private partnerships that help fund infrastructure improvements.

We must embrace innovation. Advancements in technology—including autonomous vehicle services and robo taxis like Waymo, Uber etc—have the potential to improve mobility, reduce traffic pressure, and increase safety when implemented thoughtfully.

Growth should pay for growth, rather than placing the financial burden on existing residents. We should also explore free local trolley systems, and community shuttles to improve connectivity and reduce congestion along with the responsible expansion of transit rail further north to meet the needs of our growing region.

I support a balanced, forward-looking transportation strategy that combines proven solutions with smart innovation. Growth is important, but it must be managed responsibly.

Georgia is home to more than 2.3 million residents age 60 and older, nearly 20% of our population—and the number continues to grow. Yet too many seniors are struggling. Nearly 1 in 10 lives in poverty, and Georgia ranks among the top states for senior food insecurity.

Our seniors deserve to live with dignity, respect, and financial security after a lifetime of hard work. Seniors living on fixed incomes often pay a disproportionate share of their income on basic necessities like utilities. Providing targeted tax relief would help ease financial pressure and allow seniors to better afford basic living costs.

By supporting our seniors, we honor their contributions, strengthen our communities, and ensure that every Georgian can age with dignity and security. That’s why I support eliminating taxes for Georgians age 62 and older. For seniors living on fixed incomes, every dollar matters.
