Where Hollowell stands

What are your thoughts on term limits?

I believe term limits are an important part of ensuring accountability and fresh leadership in Congress, but they must also allow enough time for meaningful work to be done. Real change in Washington rarely happens overnight. Complex policy issues, whether healthcare, education, infrastructure, or climate resilience, often require years of sustained effort, coalition-building, and oversight to move from ideas into law. That’s why I support a limit of six terms in the U.S. House of Representatives.

Do you believe that compromise is necessary or desirable for policymaking?

Yes, I believe compromise is both necessary and desirable in policymaking, but it matters what we are compromising for. Too often in Washington, compromise has become a way to protect self-interest, maintain the status quo, or water down solutions so much that communities see little real change. That kind of compromise leaves people behind. I believe compromise should be about putting people first. It should be the tool that allows us to bring different voices to the table, find common ground, and move bold ideas forward.

The Constitution says that all bills for raising revenue must originate in the House. What role would this power play in your priorities if elected?

The Constitution gives the House the responsibility to originate all revenue bills, and I see this as one of the most important tools for shaping an economy that works for everyone. Too often, revenue has been raised on the backs of the middle class and working families, while the wealthiest Americans and large corporations use loopholes and special carve-outs to avoid paying their fair share. That imbalance has widened inequality and left many families in Southeast Georgia struggling just to keep up.

How should the U.S. House use its investigative powers?

The U.S. House of Representatives holds a unique responsibility to use its investigative powers as a check on corruption, abuse of power, and misconduct within government and public institutions. Oversight is not about partisanship; it is about protecting the public interest and ensuring accountability at the highest levels. We have seen too many moments in recent history where this responsibility has been ignored or undermined. The failure to fully investigate the networks of power and influence surrounding Jeffrey Epstein left serious questions about accountability unanswered.

What role should the United States government have in the development or use of artificial intelligence?

The U.S. government must play a significant role in the development and use of artificial intelligence. Right now, AI is expanding rapidly with little oversight, and that creates serious risks for our economy, security, and democracy. Government has a responsibility to be a steward of this technology guiding how it is built, the environmental resources it consumes, the privacy it threatens, and the way it is implemented.

What legislation would you enact related to election administration in the United States?

The role of Congress is not to make it harder to vote, it is to make sure every eligible citizen has a clear and fair path to participation. That’s why I believe efforts like the John R. Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act are so critical. This legislation would restore the full protections of the Voting Rights Act by requiring federal review of voting changes in places with a history of discrimination. Without that safeguard, we’ve seen new restrictions passed that disproportionately impact voters of color, rural communities, and young people.
