If our opponent really concerned about deadbeat parents, he should stop being one and actually do something to address the violence he’s enabled. But he’s demonstrated far too much cowardice for me to have any faith that he’ll ever put our kids ahead of himself.

I can’t stomach our opponent’s silence on the matter. His silence is complicity. And if we want to make Georgia safer for everyone, we’ve got to vote out John Albers.

Yesterday, my opponent and I spoke to the Fraternal Order or Police (FOP) in Cobb. But the whole time I was in that lodge, my mind was 50 miles away. In Winder. What did John Albers have to say? For ten minutes, he talked generically about first responders and waxed patriot about 9/11. But at no point did he acknowledge the tragedy that unfolded mere hours before.

And why would he. He helped make it happen.

If you have an office job, you’re likely aware of something the news little reports: Despite record unemployment lows and stock-market highs, we’re living through a significant economic downturn—one marked by widespread layoffs in sectors like tech, finance, and consulting

In my recent interview with Voyage ATL, I talk about how my background in storytelling and the arts has uniquely prepared me to bring fresh, innovative ideas to our community and how my unique blend of creativity and political acumen promises to bring a new dynamic to local governance. I’m passionate about fostering a vibrant, inclusive Georgia where every voice is heard and valued.

I can’t imagine the mix of emotions the Bidens must be feeling right now. Having only just dipped my toes into politics and having only recently learned how invested the whole family becomes in the campaign, I’m grateful the President stepped up four years ago and I’m in awe at his decision to end his 52-year career.

If we really want to stop this cycle of political violence before it gets out of hand—before our divisions devolve us into American “Troubles” or a nationwide “Bloody Kansas”—we need to proactively reach out to one another. To get past the demagogues who divide us and see each other as neighbors, again. We need to call the Trump supporters in our lives and let them know that we’re horrified by what happened. We need to take those calls from the anti-Trumpers in our lives and hear their sincerity.
