The latest from the Georgia Capitol & the campaign trail.
Start your election cycle with a hot cup of Early Voting.
Georgia's General Primary may be weeks away on May 21, 2024 but—thank goodness for representative democracy—early voting starts today!
And with the Georgia Presidential Primary behind us, we can turn our attention to local non-partisan elections and state-legislature primaries.
Standing up & voting for the American Dream.
Last weekend, our campaign joined forces with our brother and sister campaigns—Antonio Daza, Micheal Garza, and Tracey Verhoeven—for a joint kickoff event in Woodstock: VOTESTOCK!
Georgia Conservation Voters.
Today, we're proud to share, our campaign was endorsed by the Georgia Conservation Voters, an organization on a mission to transform Georgia's political landscape by electing leaders with conservation values and holding them accountable to implementing policies that ensure clean water and air, abundant wildlife, scenic landscapes and economic opportunities for all Georgians.
Defending our personal freedoms from big-government overreach.
The government doesn’t belong in our families, our bedrooms, our places of worship, our doctor’s offices, our classrooms and libraries, or—perhaps ironically—our polling places. Nor should one objecting citizen have the power to censor anyone else’s free speech or block their access to healthcare.
Georgia Working Families Party.
Today, we're proud to share, our campaign was endorsed by the Georgia Working Families Party, a grassroots independent political organization that works to elect candidates committed to economic, racial, social, gender, and environmental justice!
What does a “Better Georgia” look like to you?

Grab a virtual coffee with your state senate candidate.
Want to get to know your state Senate candidate for the 56? That’s great, because I want to get to know you, too!

So, let’s start the day right by catching up over a cup of morning coffee (or tea or mocha or whatever gets your day started well) and learn a little bit about one another.
Mom’s Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate.
Our campaign was recently awarded the 2024 “Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate” distinction by the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund. This approval is in recognition of our advocacy for gun-violence prevention and our commitment to governing with gun safety in mind.
