Ranked-choice voting is designed to cause confusion and fatigue among voters. This type of voting, pushed by dark money groups, could cause a drastic increase in the number of ballots being thrown out, disenfranchising Georgia voters. I’m proud the Senate is leading the way to

This is not an anti-lawyer or pro-insurance company bill. This is a pro-Georgia consumer bill. I want to thank the Senate body for moving this measure forward, and I’m committed to continuing to work alongside @GovKemp to ensure SB 68 becomes law.

Thank you to all those who voted to support hardworking Georgians and our small businesses by passing SB 68 out of the Senate. This is a strong bill that will stabilize the cost of insurance and the cost of doing business in our state, which means more jobs, stronger

Last week, I made it clear that this will be a priority for the Senate. I will prioritize adding back the $100 million, removed by the House, from the Georgia Promise Scholarship. Senate Bill 152 and restoring this necessary funding is a top priority I will not waver on. #gapol

BREAKING: 30 Georgia Senators signed a letter committing to fully fund school choice. Gov. Kemp's proposed budget aligns with the Senate. But the House cut funding for the initiative, taking away about 15,000 scholarships. The House needs to restore funding for school choice.
