Cost of Living

If you work 40 hours a week, you should earn a living wage. Period.

Politicians love to get into the weeds about inflation charts, market instability, or who to blame in Washington. But families don’t experience the economy through charts; they experience it at the grocery store, the gas pump, and the rent payment!

The reality is simple.

In the United States of America in 2026, someone who works hard should be able to afford housing, groceries, utilities, childcare, and healthcare without feeling like one bad month could knock everything over.

Too many families in Georgia are doing everything right and still feel like they’re barely keeping up.

I want to make Georgia more affordable by focusing on the real costs families face every day and supporting policies that help people keep more of what they earn.

That means tackling the things that actually strain family budgets, housing, healthcare, childcare, and transportation.

Right now, our current representative isn’t doing much to help working families climb the economic ladder.

District 31 deserves leadership that understands what everyday life actually costs.
