My journey
into politics

Why I got involved

The main reason I got into politics was being denied miscarriage care while Georgia’s six-week abortion ban was being litigated.

When I was pregnant, I visited a center in Macon offering free ultrasounds. I thought I was getting medical care. Instead, staff told me something was wrong with my baby’s kidneys, information my OB-GYN later confirmed was incorrect. What I had walked into was a crisis pregnancy center, or “fake clinic.” I left frightened about a problem that wasn’t there.

I began speaking out about fake clinics and the barriers families face when seeking reproductive health care. I cofounded Middle Georgia 4 Choice and shared my story publicly, including at Georgia’s State Capitol. Families deserve accurate information, trustworthy care, and leaders who listen when something goes wrong.

Rebuilding our party

After cofounding Middle Georgia 4 Choice, I found our Democratic Party in shambles. I’ve spent the last two years rebuilding our subcommittees, pushing for expanded voting, and rebuilding our get-out-the-vote infrastructure.

That work helped secure a fourth early voting location, protect the nonpartisan fifth seat, rebuke voter purges, and secure a rewrite to help prevent them from happening again. It also led to a 3.5% increase in primary voting and thousands of doors knocked through programs I’ve spearheaded, including Spooky Voting and Knock Your Block.

Every Ground Game organizer has publicly endorsed my campaign.

The next generation

I’m Gen Z, and I believe it’s time for the next generation to lead and put Democrats on offense. We need to reactivate our post seat holders, bring our Democratic leaders together in a caucus, and build political influence in the Democratic stronghold of Macon-Bibb. With a heavily Republican government, we have to think strategically about how we’re going to win.
