Supreme Court Decisions
This week, the Supreme Court ruled in favor of the NIFLA vs. Becerra abortion rights case. In a nutshell, the Supreme Court sided with anti-abortion groups who run so-called health centers commonly referred to as “crisis pregnancy centers.” The SCOTUS decision blocks a California law which required these health centers to share factual information about […]

This is what Democracy looks like.
This is Democracy looks like. Today I was proud to march with my family and friends at the Families Belong Together Rally in downtown Atlanta. Thousands of our neighbors took to the streets to protest the inhumane treatment of families seeking asylum in the United States and the unconscionable separation of children from their parents. […]
Resistance Works
For Christmas, I gave my mom a gold necklace with a small gold rectangle charm engraved with the word RESIST. She put it on that day and hasn't taken it off since. When asked, she says she will wear it every day until Donald Trump isn't president anymore. This is a small, personal act of resistance. There are […]
The Humanitarian Crisis on our Borders.
The cruel and unnecessary separation of asylum-seeking families at our borders is an issue that transcends partisan politics - it's a matter of human decency that calls us all to action.

For some, their property has been significantly overvalued in the […]
Medicaid Expansion in VA!
Currently 240,000 Georgians live without health insurance. These are working folks who make too much money to qualify for Medicaid but don’t make enough to get assistance on the ACA health exchanges. They fall into what’s called the insurance gap, and that gap has an enormous impact on our economy, directly contributing to the closure […]

We did it!
We did it! I’m so pleased to be the Democratic candidate for the Georgia State House, District 54. I could not have done it without the amazing support of my family, friends, neighbors and YOU. It was a privilege to run in this primary with Dan Berschinski and Bob Gibeling, two outstanding opponents and true […]
This is the last push! Go vote for Betsy!
Ok, polls close in about an hour and a half. Still plenty of time to get there and cast a vote for Betsy. While you’re doing it, text 5 (or 10!) friends who live in the district and get them to vote for Betsy! It’s down to the wire. All we’ve worked for comes down […]
