I believe that Georgians deserve advocates at the decision-making table who understand the prescriptive power of policy and who are committed to the healthy outcomes. From the hospital bed to the ballot box, I will prioritize the whole health of individuals and communities. Take it from me: policy is medicine!
​
Wellness and Preventative Care: Currently, Georgia has poor outcomes for Maternal Mortality & Infant Mortality, and Chronic conditions which creates a higher burden on a broken health care system. We need more affordable, accessible, and unrestricted healthcare for all Georgians. Leveraging my firsthand nursing experience, I aim to turn the focus in the state towards wellness and preventive care. I will fight for the wellness of every Georgian to live safe, healthy, and prosperous lives.
​
Mental Health Services: With a deep understanding of the vital importance of mental health care, I will advocate for more equitable services. Mental health issues ought not to be secondary to physical ailments. Therefore, I'll champion mental health parity, amplifying the need for additional benefits and providers in our state that can adequately address these concerns.
​
Voter Education: Every citizen's voice matters and should be heard in our democratic processes. However, this can be challenging when voters are unfamiliar with how voting systems work or what issues are at stake. As a GA Senate candidate, I am committed to advancing voter education initiatives. This means advocating for easily accessible information about voter registration processes, polling locations, voting methods, important election dates and re-districting. Additionally, I believe it is essential to provide clear information about the issues on the ballot in non-partisan and understandable language. This allows voters to make informed decisions that align with their beliefs and values. Adequate voter education also plays a role in preventing misinformation and promoting civic participation. Ensuring that every Georgian has the tools they need to participate fully and fairly in all elections is a top priority for me.
