Other candidates for the 56.
This week I’d like to pivot and talk about some of the other candidates running to bring change and better representation to those of us in the 56. They’ve earned my respect and—if the geography lined up—my vote, too:
Antonio Daza for Congressional District 11
Lyndsey Coates for Fulton County School Board
Tracey Verhoeven for State Senate District 21
Jennifer Phillippi for Fulton County Commission
An update from our April filing.
Georgia’s State Ethics Commission requires candidates and incumbents to report all contributions, expenditures, loans, and investments on a rolling basis. And in election years these filings are required at the ends of January, April, June, and September.
So, let’s take a look at what our April filings can tell us about how the two campaigns compare:
Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council.
Today, we're proud to share, our campaign was endorsed by The Atlanta-North Georgia Labor Council, an organization on a mission to mprove the lives of working families so as to bring economic justice to the workplace and social justice to our community. To accomplish this mission they’re building and constantly seeking to improve the American labor movement at a time when 71% of Americans support unions—the highest level in nearly 60 years!
Start your election cycle with a hot cup of Early Voting.
Georgia's General Primary may be weeks away on May 21, 2024 but—thank goodness for representative democracy—early voting starts today!
And with the Georgia Presidential Primary behind us, we can turn our attention to local non-partisan elections and state-legislature primaries.
Standing up & voting for the American Dream.
Last weekend, our campaign joined forces with our brother and sister campaigns—Antonio Daza, Micheal Garza, and Tracey Verhoeven—for a joint kickoff event in Woodstock: VOTESTOCK!
Georgia Conservation Voters.
Today, we're proud to share, our campaign was endorsed by the Georgia Conservation Voters, an organization on a mission to transform Georgia's political landscape by electing leaders with conservation values and holding them accountable to implementing policies that ensure clean water and air, abundant wildlife, scenic landscapes and economic opportunities for all Georgians.
Defending our personal freedoms from big-government overreach.
The government doesn’t belong in our families, our bedrooms, our places of worship, our doctor’s offices, our classrooms and libraries, or—perhaps ironically—our polling places. Nor should one objecting citizen have the power to censor anyone else’s free speech or block their access to healthcare.
Georgia Working Families Party.
Today, we're proud to share, our campaign was endorsed by the Georgia Working Families Party, a grassroots independent political organization that works to elect candidates committed to economic, racial, social, gender, and environmental justice!
What does a “Better Georgia” look like to you?
I firmly believe government representatives need to reflect the priorities of their constituents. So, I’d like to hear from you about what your priorities are, what issues matter most to you, and what a “better Georgia” looks like for all of us.
Grab a virtual coffee with your state senate candidate.
Want to get to know your state Senate candidate for the 56? That’s great, because I want to get to know you, too!
Open communication is the cornerstone of good representation—and sadly lacking in many Georgia Senate districts, including the 56. So, let’s start the day right by catching up over a cup of morning coffee (or tea or mocha or whatever gets your day started well) and learn a little bit about one another.
Mom’s Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate.
Our campaign was recently awarded the 2024 “Moms Demand Action Gun Sense Candidate” distinction by the Everytown for Gun Safety Action Fund. This approval is in recognition of our advocacy for gun-violence prevention and our commitment to governing with gun safety in mind.

The Center for Freethought Equality PAC
The Center for Freethought Equality is the advocacy and political arm of the American Humanist Association, a group that advocates for issues the humanist and atheist community cares about like the separation of church and state, protecting civil liberties, and advancing progressive policies.
