Why I’m Running
I’m running because I’m exhausted by our current leadership. I’m tired of their inability to dream big. I am the Quality of Life candidate. I will work to improve the average Georgian’s life with ambitious ideas.
At every level of government, it feels like the same story: politicians fighting for corporations, lobbyists, and their own careers while everyday people are told to be patient and grateful for whatever scraps fall off the table.
We can do better than this. Georgia can do better than this. District 31 deserves better than this.
For years, our current State Senator, Jason Anavitarte, has done little to improve the daily lives of the people who live here. As far as I can tell, he hasn’t even tried to dream big.
In the richest country in human history, in the peachiest state in the union, in the year 2026, our representatives should have long ago guaranteed healthcare as a basic right for every person in our state.
They should have finished building real public transit infrastructure so people in our district could actually get to work without spending half their lives in traffic.
They should have made sure every kid gets a good meal at school so no one is trying to learn on an empty stomach (such an easy one).
They should have focused on bringing real jobs into the district so that thousands of people don’t have to commute somewhere else just to make a living. It’s embarrassing how many people have to work multiple jobs just to get by because the jobs in the district don’t pay well enough or don’t exist.
Instead, year after year, our leadership seems far more interested in culture war distractions and imaginary election conspiracies than in solving the problems that actually affect families here.
Meanwhile, the ultra-rich continue to hoard obscene amounts of wealth and treat our State and Nation as some plaything, while everyday people struggle to pay for childcare, healthcare, housing, and elder care. No one under the Gold Dome seems brave enough to even talk about that, let alone do something about it.
I’m also running because in 2020, we watched a sitting President try to overturn the will of the voters in Georgia, and instead of standing up for the people of this state, too many leaders in our state government bent the knee and played along.
Cowards.
But the biggest reason I’m running is simple.
I have a son.
He’s eight years old.
And his life should be longer, easier, healthier, and more joyful than mine has been.
That’s supposed to be the whole point of progress — each generation building something better for the next.
Right now, that’s not the direction we’re heading.
I’m running because I refuse to accept that this is the best we can do.
District 31 deserves leadership that dreams bigger, fights harder, and actually believes our future can be better than our present.
I believe that.
And I’m ready to fight for it.
