"It has truly been a privilege to represent District 119, and I am looking forward to the opportunity to serve in my new district, 121. My time in Atlanta has been full of new experiences, learning curves, and incredibly surreal moments where the only feeling that I have had room for is gratitude. Serving you, my friends and neighbors, is one of the highest honors of my life and I am grateful for the trust you have placed in me."

PRIORITIES
Better Education
Our community is blessed with great schools, but we can always do better. We need to ensure that we are spending our dollars wisely when it comes to education so that no children are falling through the cracks. We also need to ensure UGA gets the funding it needs to thrive.
Improved Transportation
We need more local control over our transportation projects so that we can make the best decisions for our families and businesses. We don't need to be a donor county to Atlanta's transportation priorities. Our tax dollars need to come back to our community.
NO to Raising Taxes
We need to reprioritize our spending in Atlanta and we need to cut the waste. As families, we don't get to just raise our income to match our spending, and neither should our government. We need to be good stewards of taxpayers' resources.
