Most people in Georgia and the Athens / Oconee area want the same basic things:
good schools, affordable healthcare, safe communities, lower costs, and leaders who tell the truth.
We do not need more political theater. We need representatives who listen, do the work, explain their votes, and put people ahead of party games.
I built this site so you can see the bills that came up in session, how I voted, and why I made those decisions.
You may not agree with every vote, but you never have to guess where I stand.
I voted against many in my party in favor of this bill. In my opinion, strengthening computer science education in K-12 is a worthwhile goal, and the concerns that some members of my caucus had around "patriotic societies" in schools seemed unfounded. I voted yes.
This was the most reasonable tax cut proposal of the 2026 legislative session, so I voted in favor. It was tabled in the Senate.
HB 1185 makes major changes to how shareholder disputes and corporate lawsuits are handled in Georgia by expanding the authority of the State-wide Business Court. While I support efficient courts, I was concerned this bill made it harder for shareholders and minority business owners to hold corporations accountable. That’s why I voted No.
