Upholding Constitutional Freedoms

The fight to protect our constitutional freedoms is not just a matter of policy — it reflects the very foundation of our nation's principles. I stand firmly in defense of our constitutional rights, the values enshrined in our Constitution, and it is our duty to uphold them with unwavering resolve.

The Second Amendment
The right to bear arms is not just a constitutional guarantee — it is a fundamental element of our identity as Americans. That is why I proudly sponsored and supported legislation aimed at strengthening Second Amendment protections in Georgia including the Second Amendment Preservation Act. This legislation ensures that law-abiding citizens retain the right to defend themselves, their families, and their communities without undue government interference.

One key measure focused on enhancing protections for firearm owners by reducing restrictions on where and how responsible citizens can carry their firearms, making it easier for individuals to exercise their constitutional rights. Protecting the Second Amendment is not just about firearms — it is about preserving the spirit of self-reliance and liberty that defines us as a people.

Protecting Equal Opportunities: Title IX
Our commitment to fairness and safety extends beyond the Second Amendment, rooted deeply in the principles of equal protection under the law as outlined in the 14th Amendment. The Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment has been a cornerstone in the fight to ensure that all individuals are treated fairly under the law, influencing critical legislation such 
as Title IX.

Title IX, enacted to prevent sex-based discrimination in educational programs and activities receiving federal funding, is an extension of these constitutional protections, ensuring that biological realities are respected.

I proudly supported legislation, including the Riley Gaines Act, which was introduced to protect women's sports at both the K-12 and collegiate levels. This legislation ensures that competitive categories are based on biological sex, helping maintain a level playing field where female athletes are recognized and rewarded for their dedication and achievements, reflecting a broader commitment to upholding equal opportunities for women.

Honoring Our Heritage
Our constitutional freedoms are rooted in the moral framework established by our nation's founders, with religious liberty enshrined 
as a cornerstone of our democracy. Protecting religious freedoms is not just about safeguarding the right to worship — 
it is about preserving the moral and ethical foundations that have guided our nation since its inception. Our history is rich with examples of how faith has shaped our laws, our leaders, and our national identity.

In support of these principles, I have championed legislation that upholds Judeo-Christian values, including initiatives to ensure that religious symbols, historical documents reflecting our Judeo-Christian heritage, and expressions of faith are protected in public spaces. These efforts are not about promoting one faith over another. Rather, they recognize the profound impact that Judeo-Christian ethics have had on the development of our legal system, cultural norms, and national character.

Upholding constitutional freedoms is not just a political issue — it is about safeguarding the principles of liberty, fairmindedness, and justice that generations of Americans fought to secure. As your representative, I pledge to continue fighting tirelessly for policies that reflect these values. We owe it to the pioneers who came before us and to the future generations who will inherit the legacy of our great state.
