Taxes & budget: “Every dollar the state takes from a working family is a dollar that family cannot spend on groceries, child care, or saving for the future. Georgia reached its 4.99% income tax target this year, 3 years early. The next cuts should follow the state's revenue safeguards on the road to eliminating the income tax. I will vote for every responsible income tax cut that reaches the Senate floor. Until the income tax is fully eliminated, I will help those who are working but struggling to pay high property taxes by indexing family income to property taxes to provide income tax deductions.” (Campaign website)

Immigration & border: “Urban farming, uplifting the LGBTQ+ community, protecting marginalized communities (especially our refugee/immigrant population)” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
Priorities & campaign themes: “I hope to leave a legacy of treating every person that I come across, whether on the streets of Atlanta or in the Capitol, with respect and dignity. Only in this way can we truly hope to create a fairer and safer Georgia for every single Georgian.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
Priorities & campaign themes: “Building relationships both within your political party and across the aisle is crucial to enacting effective legislation. Without the ability to communicate in a bipartisan way, legislation stalls out and little can be done to further one's own priorities for their constituents. One of my biggest personal accomplishments while in office has been the building of relationships with the most seemingly opposite colleagues, which has led to doors opening for me to enact REAL, life-saving change while in office.” (Ballotpedia Candidate Connection survey)
