Education & schools: “As a first-generation college graduate, I have always said I owe it to my great-grandmother, who raised me, to do all I can to impact lives the way she positively impacted mine. She instilled in me that “To Whom much is given, much is required”. Let's get together and make a difference in our community. I am honored to serve the Great State of Georgia and Senate District 38 as your State Senator.”

I am serving because it is incumbent on all of us to do our part in changing the trajectory of our state and country. I am here to listen and work on behalf of my community focused on issues impacting our lives: education, cost of living, family and civil rights, and healthcare.”

(Campaign website) Abortion & reproductive rights: “I believe all Georgians have a fundamental right to quality healthcare, both physical and mental. I will fight to expand medicaid in Georgia to ensure more Georgians have access to quality affordable healthcare. We must also address racial and economic disparities in healthcare across our state. Especially protecting our Black women. This includes expanding access to quality clinics and hospitals, better informed physicians, healthier food options, defending reproductive rights, and expanding medicinal and legalizing recreational marijuana.”
