Smart Investing:
Roads, Schools, Jobs & Opportunity
Rural Georgians work hard, and we deserve good roads, strong schools and reliable internet access. These aren't extras -- they're the foundation of economic opportunity. But decades of underinvestment has left our communities behind, forcing talented young people to leave for places where opportunity exists.
How Did We Get Here?
The numbers tell the story: Eighty-one Georgia counties rank in the bottom national quartile for educational attainment—49th out of 50 states. And rural counties struggle with chronic underinvestment, resulting in underfunded schools, crumbling infrastructure, and limited healthcare access.
This creates a vicious cycle. Without good schools, we can't attract businesses. Without businesses, our young people leave. Without young people, our tax base shrinks further. Decades of neglect have real consequences.
We're not asking for handouts. We're asking for investment in the communities that feed Georgia, power its ports and serve its visitors.
I Commit to Real Investment Solutions.
Create well-paying jobs by supporting skills training and expanding small business—the backbone of our rural economy.
Invest in our infrastructure - roads that don't destroy your car, internet that actually works, schools and training centers that prepare our youth to compete, all the while respecting our beautiful environment, which we must honor and preserve.
Support trades and retraining programs so workers can adapt to new opportunities without leaving home.
Plan smarter to attract business and workers to our beautiful district while protecting what makes it special.
I am committed to bringing investment to our district, including our roads and schools to create jobs and opportunity—that's the leadership you deserve.
