7 Charles King (I) – occupation not available, Web not available  Inflation: information not available.  Immigration: information not available.  Abortion: information not available. District 9 Andrew Clyde (R)* – Business Owner, https://www.clyde4congress.com/  Inflation: information not available.  Immigration: “Liberals and the "go-along-to-get-along" Republicans in Washington have kicked this can down the road for far too long. Border security is national security, and we need the wall along the southern border as an intigral (sic) part of national security. We must stop illegal immigration and illegal border crossings. A wall will also greatly reduce drug trafficking and fentanyl which is the number one killer of adults ages 18-45 in our country.”  Abortion: “Andrew is proudly pro-life and believes life begins at conception and ends at natural death. If we cannot defend the lives of the unborn, then we have lost our way as a nation. As your Congressman, Andrew will always work to protect the lives of our nation's innocent unborn.” Tambrei Cash (D) – Business Owner, https://www.cash4ga.com/  Inflation: information not available.  Immigration: information not available.  Abortion: “We all deserve bodily autonomy. The government should have no say in the private decisions that are meant to be between us, our families, and our doctors. No one should be denied proper healthcare, or birth control.” District 10 Mike Collins (R)* – Business Owner, https://mikecollinsga.com/  Inflation: Our national debt is at a historic high, and spending is out-of-control. Prior to the pandemic, our national debt was $23 trillion. In the year since, we’ve tallied up trillions more in the form of Covid relief packages. Under President Biden and Congressional Democrats, there is no end in sight. Our nation is at a tipping point. Americans are already seeing the effects of inflation and a stagnant economy, and something must be done. In Congress, I will work to enact a balanced budget amendment, cut federal spending, reduce the national debt and limit the size and scope of government.  Immigration: There is a crisis on our Southern border caused by Democrats and ignored by the mainstream media. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris reversed two of President Trump’s most successful border security policies, and now illegal immigrants are flooding into our country in record numbers. In fact, since overturning Trump’s Remain in Mexico Policy and Title 42, it’s almost impossible for Border Patrol and law enforcement officials to stop anyone crossing our border. This is not only a national security threat and a humanitarian crisis, it also harms those coming into our country legally. In order to secure our borders and uphold the rule of law, we must: o Finish construction of the wall. o Enforce the immigration laws already on the books o Oppose amnesty o Reinstate the Remain in Mexico policy and Title 42 authorities. o End chain migration and birthright citizenship o Eliminate welfare incentives for illegal immigrant  Abortion: I believe that life is a gift from God that begins at the moment of conception. Under President Trump, protections against taxpayer dollars funding abortions were strengthened. This important work is now being threatened by the Biden Administration and Democrats in Washington. In Congress, I will never back down in my fight to ensure no taxpayer dollars are ever used to fund abortions. Lexy Doherty (D) – Educational Consultant, https://www.lexydoherty.com/  Inflation: information not available..  Immigration: information not available  Abortion: A person’s medical history and the decisions they make about their own healthcare should be entirely their own business. If elected, Lexy will fight to codify the right to privacy that had been upheld for so long under Roe v. Wade. Anti-abortion zealots like Mike Collins have made Georgia’s 10th District a more dangerous place for all women. There are 8 counties in District 10 that do not have a single OB/GYN practicing medicine, and District 10 residents have to drive on average 25 miles to access a birthing hospital. Georgia’s maternal mortality rates are some of the worst in the country, especially for Black women, and we know that anti-abortion policies are directly related to the unavailability of maternal healthcare. District 11 Barry Loudermilk (R)* – Business Owner, https://www.standwithbarry.com/  Inflation: information not available.  Immigration: Barry has consistently advocated that, before we can tackle the larger issue of illegal immigration, we first have to secure America’s borders and ports of entry. When serving on the House Homeland Security Committee, Barry traveled to our southern border to see first-hand how drug cartels, and human traffickers are exploiting our porous and open borders. Our vast borders are a hotbed of criminal activity and pose a real threat to our national security. That’s why Barry helped write legislation that will provide for more physical barriers along our borders, and increase the number of border patrol agents – to stop criminal activities and stop illegal crossing. However, to effectively control illegal immigration, we must also end counterproductive policies such as catch and release which impairs our law enforcement from effectively stopping and deporting those who enter our nation illegally. Once we have secured our border, we must reform our immigration laws by ending chain migration, stopping visa lotteries, and ensure those who are here on temporary visas return to their home countries when their visas expire.  Abortion: President John Quincy Adams stated, “The Declaration of Independence will tell you that the authors held for self-evident truth that the right to life is the first of the unalienable rights…” Life is the ultimate right endowed by God, and it is the responsibility of a government to protect that right. Barry believes, and science has proven, that life begins in the mother’s womb and it is our responsibility to protect the life of our most vulnerable, our unborn children. That’s why Barry has consistently fought to protect all innocent life – through legislation, and in voting to ban taxpayer dollars from being used for abortions. Katy Stamper (D) – Attorney, https://katylstamper.com/  Inflation: Washington can’t or won’t live on a budget. It is spending 50% more than 5 years ago. This must stop so inflation can be reduced.  Immigration: Protect our Border to prevent terrorism and to spend our Tax Dollars on where America needs it most, including our poor, our combat veterans and our debt.  Abortion: information not available. District 13 Jonathan Chavez (R) – Executive, https://www.chavezforcongress.com/  Inflation: Jonathan Chavez is truly passionate about this issue, as it is one that impacts so many people all over the world. What we are seeing is a massive increase in gas prices, inflation that we have not seen in over 40 years and is still rising. Americans hold this issue close to their heart, working day in and day out only to find that our current leaders have led us down a path to economic destruction. Every policy that has been implemented in the last year has made our nation worse. Jonathan Chavez aims to maintain balance within the political system, and will keep pushing until the correct balance is reached.
