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 bill allows wealthy households to avoid paying state taxes by transferring their tax liability to private school education. In my opinion, that weakens the public school system that is available to every student in the state. As a strong supporter of public education, I could not vote for this bill.
This bill was very likely unconstitutional, offers no guarantees of any property tax relief, and quite simply raises taxes on anyone who rents their home without offering any benefits. I voted No.
I voted no on this bill because it would have had no practical impact on law-abiding gun owners' ability to acquire suppressors, but it would have removed enhanced penalties for crimes committed with suppressor-equipped firearms.
