Immigration & Border
Supports expanded legal pathways and protections for immigrants, including DACA recipients and pathways to citizenship; opposes family separation and large-scale deportations and favors keeping federal immigration enforcement out of local communities. Advocates for humane, comprehensive reform that balances safety with creating legal status opportunities for long-term residents.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Supports legal access to abortion and seeks to restore and protect abortion rights in Georgia, opposing short-window bans such as six-week restrictions. Would pursue legislation to enshrine the right to an abortion with limits tied to fetal viability and exceptions to protect the woman’s life or health, leaving timing decisions to medical professionals. Frames abortion as a medical decision that should be made between a woman and her doctor rather than by politicians.
Climate & Energy
Supports decarbonization and state-level climate resilience actions, advocates leveraging federal climate funding (Inflation Reduction Act, Infrastructure) to create thousands of advanced/green energy jobs, and promotes electrification and measures (e.g., incentives, a proposed Georgia Green Development Bank) to lower energy costs and expand clean energy and EV infrastructure.
Public Safety & Guns
Supports banning commonly owned military-style/assault rifles, implementing universal/expanded background checks, reinstating waiting periods, enacting red-flag (extreme-risk) protections, and repealing laws that expand permitless/constitutional carry. Emphasizes protecting public safety while preserving lawful hunting and target shooting.
