Priorities

Washington does not have a revenue problem — it has a discipline problem. Our national debt keeps climbing because too many federal policies, processes, and agencies still operate with outdated systems that waste taxpayer dollars and slow real results.

We can protect essential programs and balance the budget by modernizing how government works. Reforming outdated policies, consolidating redundant programs, and enforcing meaningful oversight will save billions without cutting core services. America deserves a government that delivers value, not bureaucracy.

If elected, I will pursue a seat on the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to advance a modern, efficient, taxpayer-focused government that works for the people — not for itself.

My priorities will be to:

• Cut waste, duplication, and outdated administrative costs that drain federal budgets
• Modernize federal policies and processes to improve transparency and reduce long-term spending
• Promote clear, efficient, results-driven budgeting that respects every taxpayer dollar
• Limit unchecked regulatory expansion that burdens small businesses and families without delivering measurable results

A stronger, more secure America starts with a government that lives within its means and operates with common sense, accountability, and respect for the taxpayer.

America’s health care crisis will never be solved by pouring more money into a broken system. If we want to Make America Healthy Again, we must improve the way we grow, access, and understand food — and rebuild a system that supports both our seniors today and healthier generations tomorrow.

Georgia’s agriculture, rural communities, and seniors all pay the price for outdated federal policies. Meanwhile, chronic illnesses linked to nutrition and preventable conditions continue to drive the majority of our nation’s health care spending. If we don’t reform the way we approach health, we risk overwhelming essential programs like Medicare and Medicaid in the future. The goal isn’t to cut these programs — it’s to ensure they remain strong by reducing preventable burdens on them.

A healthy America starts with strong farms, healthy food, and a system that values prevention over paperwork.

My Priorities to Make America Healthy Again (MAHA):

Strengthening Agriculture & Food Systems

• Protect family farms and remove unnecessary federal regulations that burden small producers
• Support innovative approaches like controlled-environment agriculture, aquaponics, and urban food systems
• Improve local food access by expanding farm-to-market pathways, farmers markets, and urban agriculture initiatives
• Encourage conservation programs that work and protect farmland from harmful federal overreach

Building Healthier Communities

• Expand access to healthy, affordable food — especially in rural and semi-urban “food gap” areas
• Promote nutrition- and education-based prevention, reducing long-term chronic disease rates
• Strengthen community health programs that teach families how to live healthier, longer lives
• Support workforce training that empowers young people and adults with skills in agriculture, health, and trades

Protecting and Supporting Our Seniors

• Ensure stability for Medicare and Medicaid by reducing preventable strain on the system
• Improve access to care in rural areas by supporting emergency rooms, clinics, and senior-focused services
• Encourage doctor-led care and home-based support that keeps seniors healthy, independent, and safe

Reforming a Broken Health Care System

• Cut red tape that inflates costs and limits access
• Increase transparency and competition to lower prescription drug prices and insurance costs
• Promote patient choice and doctor-led decision-making, not federal bureaucracy
• Encourage innovation that connects health, nutrition, and preventive care

Creating a Healthy America means investing in prevention, empowering families with better food and better choices, supporting the seniors who built this country, and making sure every community — rural, urban, and suburban — has the tools to thrive.

Through smarter policies and a healthier population, we can protect essential programs, reduce long-term costs, and build a stronger future for every American.

For too long, our education system has pushed a one-size-fits-all path that leaves many young people unprepared for real life. Not every student needs a four-year degree to succeed—and Georgia’s Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs show how hands-on learning, skilled trades, and career pathways can launch students into stable, meaningful careers.

Preparing students for life after high school means teaching leadership, responsibility, and practical skills through sports, activities, and real-world experiences. Whether a student chooses college, a technical school, an apprenticeship, or immediate entry into the workforce, they deserve an education system that meets them where they are and prepares them for success.

Preparing Students for Real-Life Success

• Expand and modernize CTAE programs in fields like agriculture, skilled trades, logistics, health sciences, and cybersecurity
• Promote multiple pathways to success, including apprenticeships, certifications, and career-focused graduation options
• Teach essential life skills like personal finance, responsibility, leadership, and problem-solving
• Support extracurricular opportunities that build confidence, teamwork, and character

Integrating Innovation for the Next Generation

• Grow access to emerging technologies such as robotics, AI, drone operations, and advanced manufacturing
• Partner with local industries so students receive hands-on training that leads to real jobs
• Ensure rural and semi-urban schools have equal access to modern equipment and technology-driven learning
• Prepare a future-ready workforce by aligning education with Georgia’s evolving economic needs

Securing our future means giving every student the tools, skills, and opportunities they need—not just the ones that fit a single path. A strong nation depends on strong schools, strong skills, and young people who are ready to lead, create, and build the future.

Small businesses are the backbone of America, and when they thrive, our communities thrive. But too many local commercial areas and “brown zones” sit vacant, limiting opportunity and pushing our young people to leave in search of better jobs. We must revitalize these spaces, modernize our approach to development, and create an environment where families—and future generations—want to stay and build their lives.

Revamping underused areas, reducing regulatory burdens, and expanding access to small grants and micro-loans will give local entrepreneurs the tools they need to create jobs right here at home. At the same time, our infrastructure decisions must strengthen—not threaten—our farmland, natural resources, and community character.

Strengthening Local Growth

• Revitalize brown zones and older commercial corridors to attract new businesses and expand job opportunities
• Support infrastructure updates that protect—not threaten—our agricultural land and community spaces

Empowering Local Entrepreneurs

• Increase access to grants and micro-loans for small businesses and first-time entrepreneurs
• Remove federal red tape so small businesses can grow, hire locally, and keep more young people building their futures in our community

When we invest in our communities, we keep our children, our talent, and our future right here in Northwest Georgia.
