Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Opposes large, regressive income tax cuts that would reduce revenue for education, health care, and other state services and has argued against replacing progressive tax brackets with a flat rate that could raise taxes on some middle-income Georgians. Advocates maintaining revenue to fund public services such as health care and education rather than enacting major tax reductions that primarily benefit higher earners.
Healthcare
Supports expanding access to affordable health care and Medicaid expansion; frames healthcare as a right and lists affordable healthcare as a top campaign priority.

Immigration & Border
Supports protecting immigrant communities and expanding access for immigrant students (including in-state tuition); frames immigration with a welcoming/humanitarian approach while not outlining a specific large-scale regularization or pathway to citizenship in available materials.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports reproductive freedom and protecting abortion access; advocates repealing Georgia’s six-week abortion ban (HB 481) and has campaigned as a pro-choice candidate who will defend and expand reproductive healthcare.
Climate & Energy
Supports addressing climate change and investment in renewable energy, endorsing climate action and clean-energy investment while not calling for explicit Green New Deal–style measures in the cited materials.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports expanded gun-safety measures including universal background checks, pediatric/safe storage requirements, and training/licensing requirements; favors closing background-check loopholes and raising the minimum purchase age. Positions emphasize protecting children and reducing gun violence while maintaining support for police reform (without defunding).
