Service Above Self. Action Above Words.

Managing Growth & Infrastructure

Growth should be intentional, not reactive. I will advocate for state policies and funding that help local governments plan ahead — ensuring roads, utilities, public safety, and schools keep pace with development.

I will oppose state mandates that override local planning decisions without community input and support legislation that gives cities and counties the flexibility to grow responsibly.

Transportation & Traffic

Traffic is one of the clearest signs that growth is outpacing planning, especially along I-575 and major corridors in Woodstock, Canton, and Holly Springs.

I will work with the Georgia Department of Transportation and regional partners to push for congestion relief, safety improvements, and long-term planning that reflects how Cherokee County residents actually live and commute. State transportation decisions should be shaped by local realities, not just traffic models.

Housing Affordability & Taxes

Rising housing costs and increasing property taxes are putting real pressure on families across Cherokee County. I support state policies that encourage a wider range of housing options, while protecting established neighborhoods.

I am also deeply concerned about statewide efforts to eliminate Georgia state taxes. While it may sound appealing, notice that there has been no transparency about what state services would be cut and what other taxes would be imposed. Certainly, critical services for our community would be eliminated and sales taxes would increase dramatically, both of which would disproportionately hurt middle class families and benefit the wealthy. The reality is that when state revenue disappears, the cost doesn’t — it gets shifted onto local property taxes, fees, and reduced public services. Homeowners, especially seniors and working families, would pay more, not less. State taxes fund schools, transportation, public safety, and healthcare access. When funding is cut, housing becomes less affordable, infrastructure falls behind, and communities struggle to maintain essential services. I will advocate for responsible, sustainable tax policies that keep Georgia competitive while protecting families and local communities.

Strong Public Schools

Our public schools are one of Cherokee County’s greatest strengths, and as our community grows, the state must be a reliable partner in keeping them strong.

That means fully and fairly funding public education, reducing overcrowding, and making sure classrooms have the resources they need to succeed. State education dollars should strengthen public schools, not be diverted away.

I will fight for fair funding and listen closely to educators, parents, and administrators so state-level decisions reflect what’s actually happening in classrooms.

Supporting Seniors & Affordable Care

I will advocate for state policies that expand affordable in-home and community-based care, helping seniors age in place and reducing reliance on costly residential facilities.

I will support strengthening the healthcare workforce, improving transparency and oversight in long-term care pricing, and protecting state programs that help seniors access care without being forced out of their homes or communities.

Protecting Families Online & Social Media Reform

In my work with the Social Media Victims Law Center, I’ve seen firsthand how unchecked online platforms can harm individuals, families, and communities. From cyber harassment to the spread of dangerous misinformation, social media has real-world consequences that affect public safety, mental health, and civic engagement.

As your State Representative, I will advocate for commonsense reforms that hold platforms accountable, give victims clear avenues for redress, and improve safety for children and vulnerable adults.

Immigration Enforcement and Public Safety

Public safety in Cherokee County depends on trust between residents and local law enforcement.

I do not support the current Immigration and Customs Enforcement "ICE" operations in our local communities. As a legislator, I would work to keep a clear boundary between federal immigration enforcement and Cherokee County police and deputies so that our local law enforcement can focus on real public safety, not deportation. When ICE is tied to local policing, people are less likely to report crimes or call for help. That makes everyone less safe.

Georgia has a proud civil rights legacy, and that responsibility lives here, too. If elected, I will stand up for due process, local control, and keeping our communities safe through trust, not fear.

Preserving Community Character

Woodstock, Canton, and Holly Springs are different — and state policy should respect that. I will support conservation and land protection programs that help preserve green space and rural areas, and oppose top-down policies that ignore the unique character of our communities.

My Approach

I’m running to bring steady, practical leadership to the state level — leadership that listens first, works across party lines, and focuses on results instead of rhetoric.

I may not have all the answers, but I am committed to asking the right questions, working with those who do, and making sure Cherokee County’s voice is heard clearly at the Capitol.
