Marty Harbin: “This community is my home, and I’m passionate about continuing to serve the wonderful people here with hard work and principle-centered leadership. I believe we deserve a government that serves the people and is accountable to them. Our Founding Fathers gave us an incredible gift - a government of the people, by the people, and for the people - a Constitutional Republic. Many have fought and died to preserve these rights and liberties. I will continue to stand and fight for these sacred values.” (Campaign website)
Marty Harbin: “As your Senator, I am guided by three simple principles – faith, family, and freedom. Our Founding Fathers provided a Constitution that protects our freedoms. The most important freedom of all is our freedom to believe and worship as we see fit. But, to me, the most important of these is the family.The family is the cornerstone of our society and our success and happiness in life.” (Campaign website)

Health care: “Georgia already has one of the highest maternal mortality rates in the country, and most of those deaths are preventable. Instead of investing in healthcare, expanding access, and protecting mothers, our leaders passed laws that make it harder for women to get care. I’m running because Georgia women deserve better. We deserve safe pregnancies and the right to make decisions about our own bodies. I will fight to expand Medicaid coverage, invest in maternal health infrastructure, and protect doctor/patient decision making. I will fight to take back our power as it belongs to the people.” (Campaign website (via Ballotpedia))
Economy, jobs & cost of living: “As your State Senator, I’ll fight to invest in our teachers, fully fund our schools, expand career training, and build real pathways from the classroom to the workforce.” (Campaign website (via Ballotpedia))
