The public is invited to view a stakeholder meeting between GDOT and local elected officials regarding the proposed Watkinsville bypass. In addition, public comment has been re-opened for the project through 8/27/2026.

This is the state version of the recent SCOTUS decision to eliminate Chevron deference, and a highly partisan bridge too far. Barring courts from considering agency expertise in highly technical regulatory rules forcibly removes non-political, professional, specialized knowledge from these cases, so I voted No.

This is f*$%ing stupid.

This bill restructures Georgia's transportation authority from multiple regional boards to a single statewide board with members appointed by elected leaders. That may or may not be a good idea, and it was impossible to decide in the few minutes I had to review it prior to the vote being called late on Sine Die. I voted no.

I voted against this bill because legalized gambling introduces new possible addictions to the state, the estimated revenues were not enough to justify those risks, and any tax revenue would have gone to a fund that already has surplus reserves.

This bill allows wealthy households to avoid paying state taxes by transferring their tax liability to private school education. In my opinion, that weakens the public school system that is available to every student in the state. As a strong supporter of public education, I could not vote for this bill.

This bill was very likely unconstitutional, offers no guarantees of any property tax relief, and quite simply raises taxes on anyone who rents their home without offering any benefits. I voted No.

I voted no on this bill because it would have had no practical impact on law-abiding gun owners' ability to acquire suppressors, but it would have removed enhanced penalties for crimes committed with suppressor-equipped firearms.

I voted against many in my party in favor of this bill. In my opinion, strengthening computer science education in K-12 is a worthwhile goal, and the concerns that some members of my caucus had around "patriotic societies" in schools seemed unfounded. I voted yes.

This was the most reasonable tax cut proposal of the 2026 legislative session, so I voted in favor. It was tabled in the Senate.

HB 1185 makes major changes to how shareholder disputes and corporate lawsuits are handled in Georgia by expanding the authority of the State-wide Business Court. While I support efficient courts, I was concerned this bill made it harder for shareholders and minority business owners to hold corporations accountable. That’s why I voted No.

A truly despicable bill that coerces city governments into arresting homeless people, through the threat of lawsuits, and waives sovereign immunity for cities. This bill is cruel, unnecessary, counterproductive, and puts more stress on municipal budgets. I voted No.

This was a much needed reform of how prosecutors are compensated in the state of Georgia. By shifting more of the salary costs of District Attorney offices to the state, and increasing starting salaries, this is a good step toward ensuring that quality prosecutors are available in every corner of the state. Although many of my Democratic colleagues voted against this bill, I voted in favor because it was the right thing to do for District 121.

A blatantly harmful bill targeting legal immigrants under the guise of "road safety", this bill would require legal immigrants with a CDL to re-take the exam if they move to Georgia.

Increasing accountability for local School Boards in potentially dangerous ways, and making it easier to dissolve independent school systems.

Automated school speed limit enforcement. Increased public surveillance or a good idea?

This "zombie bill" was originally about food trucks, but turned into a blatant partisan attack on metro Atlanta DAs.

Unnecessary new traffic rules for tinting, along with a nonsensical approach to sentencing for fleeing law enforcement. I voted no.

Governor Kemp is known for saying that "you don't make long-term cuts with one-time money", but that is exactly what this bill did.

HB 987 is a very short bill designed to protect large tech companies from potential legal obligations that other employers are held to. That may make sense today for many independent contractors, but it could also open the door to abuse in other industries as well.

This bill introduced a state mandate requiring that local school systems install weapons detection systems in all public schools, though it offered no funding for the systems themselves, maintenance, or operation. I voted no because it violates local control and was a huge unfunded mandate.

In the wake of the death of Renee Good, Republicans in the Georgia House wanted to pass a bill that was unnecessary and could have been easily abused.

A special session of the Georgia legislature has been called to begin on June 17, and we can only work on specific things. Here are some thoughts going into the session.

The Property Tax reform offered by GA House Republicans during the 2026 Legislative Session was an irresponsible tax break that would mostly benefit their wealthy donors, while increasing costs on anyone renting their home, and defunding local police and public education. I voted No.
