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.
This is the state version of the recent SCOTUS decision to eliminate Chevron deference, and a highly partisan bridge too far. Barring courts from considering agency expertise in highly technical regulatory rules forcibly removes non-political, professional, specialized knowledge from these cases, so I voted No.
This bill restructures Georgia's transportation authority from multiple regional boards to a single statewide board with members appointed by elected leaders. That may or may not be a good idea, and it was impossible to decide in the few minutes I had to review it prior to the vote being called late on Sine Die. I voted no.
