Housing, Streets and Fair Development
Atlanta is growing rapidly, housing prices are skyrocketing, roads are deteriorating and residents are being pushed out of the city. I'll fight to protect homeowners and build affordable workforce housing, fix roads and stop the push out.

Resources for Seniors
District 55 is home to many seniors and retired residents who are struggling to make ends meet with rising costs just to live. I'll fight to expand healthcare and to increase senior access to food, medications, transportation and housing.

Equal Business Opportunity in the #1 State to Do Business
