Keeping Georgia Safe: A Commonsense Approach to Public Safety
Keeping Georgia safe is one of my top priorities—especially for women, families, and children.
In the greatest country in the world, too many parents and caregivers are worrying about things we should never have to accept as normal: dangerous drugs reaching our communities, delayed emergency response in rural areas, overwhelmed law enforcement, and schools that lack basic safety infrastructure.
Public safety is not abstract. For women and children, public safety is personal safety.
Stopping Synthetic Drugs and Violent Crime
Synthetic drugs—especially fentanyl—are driving overdoses, crime, and family breakdown across Georgia, with rural communities being hit the hardest. These drugs devastate families, strain emergency services, and fuel violent crime.
Congress has a responsibility to act. We can:
- Increase penalties for large-scale fentanyl traffickers
- Target organized drug networks and traffickers who profit from addiction
- Strengthen border enforcement to stop these drugs before they reach our neighborhoods
Drug trafficking is not a victimless crime. It destroys lives, families, and entire communities.
Supporting Law Enforcement and First Responders
Strong communities depend on strong, supported law enforcement.
Too many rural areas are underserved and forced to rely solely on volunteer services or overstretched departments. That is not fair to officers—or to the families they protect.
Congress can help by:
- Funding recruitment and training grants for law enforcement in underserved districts
- Supporting mental health and wellness programs for first responders
- Strengthening emergency services in rural communities
Supporting law enforcement means giving them the resources they need—while holding everyone to professional standards and accountability.
Protecting Our Children at School
Every child deserves to learn in a safe environment—regardless of their zip code.
School safety should never depend on a county’s tax base. Congress can help fund passive safety improvements for schools that cannot afford them, including:
- Secure entrances
- Improved lighting and visibility
- Fencing and controlled access points
These commonsense measures protect students and teachers without turning schools into fortresses.
Combating Cybercrime and Fraud
Crime today does not only happen on the streets—it happens online.
Large-scale fraud rings and cybercrime networks steal billions, target seniors, and destroy financial security for families. Congress must:
- Increase penalties for organized cybercrime and fraud rings
- Improve coordination between federal and local agencies
- Fund public awareness campaigns to protect seniors and vulnerable populations
Cyber criminals should be caught, prosecuted, and sent to prison.
Standing with Victims and Families
Public safety also means standing with victims.
Domestic abuse and human trafficking demand federal attention and leadership. Increasing support for victim services and shelters helps address:
- Homelessness
- Crime prevention
- Child welfare
- Economic mobility for women and families
Protecting victims strengthens families—and strengthens our nation.
A Call for Leadership
Our country is suffering from a lack of leadership in Congress.
Public safety starts with:
- Accountability for violent offenders
- Support for law enforcement and first responders
- Commonsense prevention that protects families without sacrificing local control
If you vote for me, we can work together to restore safety, accountability, and trust—and begin real solutions for Georgia’s families.
