Georgia State House District 47

“Back our first responders, keep growth decisions local, and make data centers pay their own way.” (Campaign website)

“I’m Lindsay DeFranco, a mom, advocate, and proud Georgian. I’m running for State House District 47 because I believe the system should work for the people who fund it. When we invest early in healthcare, safety, and strong communities, we save money and create better outcomes for everyone. I’m running to bring practical solutions, transparency, and accountability back to the system.” (Campaign website)

“They starve the schools you pay for. Fulton County Schools is $57 million in the red while the state pulls about $245 million of our local tax dollars out for redistribution. They set the strictest childcare-assistance limit in the country. Then the Republicans point at the very schools they've defunded and call them broken.” (Campaign website)

“I’m running on behalf of all the people who are fed up with the dysfunction and corruption in Georgia’s government. For over two decades, the people writing the budget haven't had to answer to the people footing the bill. That changes now. Lower costs. Higher standards. A government that works as hard as you do.” (Campaign website)

“Georgia is leaving federal money on the table: the federal government has offered to cover 90% of the cost to close the gap, essentially handing our own tax dollars back to us. Republicans in the legislature keep turning it down.” (Campaign website)
