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 because the death of Rep. David Scott has opened up Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, where she is a candidate. The district will now have both a special election and a Democratic primary process to decide who fills the seat. The Democratic primary is set for May 19, with the special election scheduled for July 28.
