VOTE MARCH 10
SPECIAL ELECTION
I am proud to announce my candidacy for Georgia State House of Representative for District 94. Many of you know me as a mother, a coach, a volunteer, a professor, an attorney, an advocate and the former Mayor of Snellville. You know that I am a proven servant leader dedicated to doing what is best for our community. Now, I am asking for the honor of being your voice, our community's voice in the State House District 94.
For too many families in Georgia, life is no longer affordable and getting the help they need feels impossible—like being asked to carry water without a bucket. I know this struggle personally. For the past year, I have stepped back from public life to focus on my family, navigating challenges that gave me an even deeper understanding of what it means to struggle when systems fail. As a trial attorney, I have built a reputation as a fierce advocate for justice. But my advocacy is not just professional—it is personal. As a survivor of domestic violence and a single mother, I was unable to find my son the help he needed. I felt like I had lost my voice. No matter how hard I tried there was no bucket. I had to look outside of Georgia to get my son the help he desperately needed. No parent should feel powerless, and no child should be denied the resources they deserve.
My son's story is not an isolated incident. As a guardian ad litem, I also represent abused and neglected children in foster care. Right now, Georgia’s DFCS is facing an $85 million deficit and cutting critical contracts, leaving our most vulnerable children with no “bucket” to carry their own water. This is unacceptable. I have seen the frustration, the heartbreak, and the urgent need for change—and I will not be silent.
I’ve spent my life using my voice to make change. As the first female Mayor of Snellville, I championed equality, broke barriers, and fought tirelessly for what is right—even when it meant challenging entrenched systems and taking my fight to the Georgia Supreme Court. I’ve shown that when we work together, our voices can be louder than any obstacle.
Over this past year, I have learned the strength that comes from resilience, the hope that comes from community, and the difference we can make when we lift each other up. I have found my voice again—and I want to use it for District 94. We are done being asked to carry the weight without the tools to do the job, Now, I am asking for your support to bring that same voice, experience, and passion to the State House. Our community succeeds when our youth have guidance, seniors have care, and families have stability. Together, we can ensure every child and family has the support they need. Together we will be the voice to stand up and speak out and to make sure no one is left carrying water without a bucket.
