The longer this shutdown goes on, the worse Americans are off. If i were in Congess, I would be standing with my Democratic colleagues to pressure Republicans to protect American's healthcare and get the government open!

People are paying WAY TOO MUCH on their power bills and the incumbents have voted time and time again for these rate increases! Even people who vote red are sick of seeing their power bills so high!

For me, it’s often easiest to make videos in transition from one thing to the next.

Many many federal workers did not vote for him. I know lots of people that work at places like CDC that put in a lot of time, effort, and money to get Kamala Harris elected.

It's time for a new generation of leaders in Washington DC. I'm ready to give Georgia the bold, new leadership they need.

Families shouldn’t have to choose between paying rent or paying for healthcare. ACA subsidies make coverage possible for millions, and we can’t afford to lose them.

SHUTDOWN EXPLAINED:

Honored to be at the Emily's List luncheon this week. Being surrounded by incredible, hardworking women is a reminder of why I got into this work in the first place — to fight for women’s rights, equality, and representation at every level of government.

Absolutely! We are barreling toward (or maybe through) authoritarianism at this point. There’s so many things happening at once!

I agree that a single payer system, like what’s used in pretty much every other part of the world, makes the most sense. But, in the meantime, I am concerned about what happens to people’s health costs if we don’t act now.

I’m so honored to have the support of @maryltrump.bsky.social. Her courage to speak truth and fight for democracy inspires me every day. Together, we'll build a country rooted in facts, compassion, and common sense.

Public service means showing up. It means coming to your community’s town hall, when your constituents want to hear from you most.

Let’s be clear: healthcare isn’t a luxury item. It’s a basic human right. If that sounds radical, you’re the problem.

As a scientist and a professor at Emory University, I’ve spent my career researching and defending facts, truth, and evidence. That’s exactly what I’ve done in the Georgia State House—and it’s what I’ll take with me to Congress.

The Affordable Care Act subsidies are the reason millions of Americans can afford health coverage. Ending them would mean higher costs and more families going uninsured. We should be expanding access, not taking it away.

It means the overwhelming majority of federal employees are no political appointees and, in fact, do not serve at the pleasure of the president.

It also means there are too many in our society that don’t actually understand who federal employees are.

The way this administration has treated federal workers is despicable. Federal workers are not the enemy and deserve better than this.

I remember this and wondered if it had an effect on your decision. It was a total sign that he didn’t care to be there for his district. As did his recent vote on that resolution last month.

When did I know it was time to run for Congress? When I invited my congressman to participate in a community town hall in February and he didn't show up — and his staffer he sent came 45 minutes late. Our community deserves answers, not absence.

Donald Trump and RFK Jr shouldn’t decide which research gets funded. Scientists should. That's why we have a peer-review process in the first place!

If Republicans get their way, over 109,000 Georgians in the district (GA-13) will see their health costs more than double or become completely unaffordable. That's why Democrats are fighting.

In 2018, nobody thought I could flip a Republican-held seat in Gwinnett County. I did it anyway. I’ll bring that same fight to Congress.

Imagine bragging about being "pro-life" while blocking healthcare for hundreds of thousands of Georgians. Couldn’t be me.

We’re so grateful to everyone who came out to our EOQ fundraiser last night and to all who helped us hit our goal. This people-powered campaign is only possible because of you!
