Here's my message to young people: you wouldn't let a bunch of old people decide what music you're going to listen to or what clothes you're going to wear – so don't let them decide your future.

Two of the Georgia House Democrats paired against fellow incumbents in new legislative maps say they won’t challenge their colleagues now that the new political boundaries have been upheld by a federal judge. #gapol
🧵: The decision by the Republican members of the @CobbSchools Board to fire fifth-grade teacher for reading a book covering gender identity demonstrates a blantant misunderstanding of HB 1084, which was passed in 2022 to prohibit teachers from discussing “divisive concepts”.
As a product of Cobb County Schools I was taught by administrators and teachers to be inclusive of other students. I’m disappointed by this decision and will continue efforts at the State Capitol to create inclusive and accepting environments for all our children. #gapol
We’d like to extend our thanks to Rep. Doug Stoner @stonerforhouse (GA) for his sponsorship of House Bill 440. The bill enables Georgia schools to maintain glucagon — a life-saving medication used to treat hypoglycemic emergencies for those with type 1 diabetes.
I am honored to receive an A+ from the @gachamber1915 2024 Legislative Session Scorecard! In order to continue being the best in business, we need to focus on, investing in critical public health infrastructure, and providing quality education and job training.
HB 440 is officially law. This bill will save children's lives by allowing school nurses and/or trained school health professionals to care for those having a severe hypoglycemic episode while at school. Thank you to the Governor and all the cosponsors for supporting this bill.
