Position history

Medicaid expansion

  1. Aug 6, 2026 (Georgia Chamber Congressional Luncheon, Athens)
    I'm not gonna measure our state by how many people are on Medicaid. I wanna measure how many people are in commercial insurance.
  2. Sep 8, 2026 (Health care plan rollout, north Atlanta)
    On day one, I will close the coverage gap with intelligent Medicaid expansion

Campaign priorities

  1. Oct 12, 2026 (Campaign stop with Gov. Brian Kemp)
