Positions
Economy & Taxes
The candidate emphasizes economic opportunity through small-business growth, entrepreneurship, homeownership, and job creation and supports tax incentives and resources for entrepreneurs as part of that agenda. Her campaign platform prioritizes policies aimed at boosting local economic development rather than proposing higher taxes or wealth-redistribution measures.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to healthcare with specific focus on increasing Medicaid access and participation, improving services for seniors and rural hospitals, and creating a local Medicaid office to help patients navigate care. Emphasizes affordability and community-based healthcare initiatives as part of campaign priorities.
News
Heavenly Kimes is in the news as one of the Democratic candidates in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, where the race has been reshaped by the death of Rep. David Scott. The district now has both a special election for the remainder of the current term and a separate primary for the next full term, with the Democratic nomination still unsettled. The contest is crowded and may go to a runoff, so the field remains open and competitive.
