General election for U. House Georgia District 6. Democratic primary for U. Republican primary for U. Karen Handel. Democratic primary runoff for U. It hit too close to home when rioters took over the streets in metro Atlanta, destroying businesses, terrorizing neighborhoods, and, sadly, even killing an innocent little girl.
Democrats say that the answer is to defund the police. Immediate goals have rightly focused on emergency assistance to families struggling to make ends meet in the face of job loss. In going forward, jobs and paychecks are the path to reigniting the economy.
We must instill renewed confidence in workers, consumers and the markets with sound safety measures, aggressive pursuit of a vaccine, widespread availability of antibody testing, and stronger crisis capabilities. Additionally, liability protections are needed urgently so that businesses can reopen safely and responsibly without fear of frivolous lawsuits.
I will also work to increase access to capital especially for small business creation and investment , continue regulatory relief, and implement incentives to draw back manufacturing from China and other countries to the US. Unfortunately, affordable and accessible remain a serious challenge. In Congress, I will again take the lead to ensure that those with pre-existing conditions cannot be left out or priced out.
I will also work to: expand private insurance options; decouple insurance from the employer so that individuals can take their plans with them; allow HSAs and HRAs to cover premiums; increase transparency modernize the reimbursement system to include concierge and telemedicine. I understand that the network of Community Health Centers a critical to providing quality care and affordability to our vulnerable population, and I will fight for adequate funding of these centers and support Medicaid block grants for states.
Standing with our Military and Veterans Our military men and women — and their families — will also be able to count on me. The freedoms we have today are because of their bravery, commitment and sacrifice.
We have the responsibility to ensure that these brave men and women have the resources they need to do job they are asked to do. We have an obligation to keep our promises to them — and to their families — in uniform and when they take off the uniform.
I stood with our service men and women to rebuild our military with increased funding and to pass the largest pay raise in a decade for them. One of the reasons our cities are so vibrant is because of local control of zoning decisions. In fact, putting zoning decisions into the hands of local leaders was one of the driving forces behind the cityhood movement in Fulton and DeKalb counties.
Now, Democrats want Washington to make zoning decisions — instead of your local leaders. I will continue to fight to stop devastation of addiction and ensure those who need help can get help.
Combat Human Trafficking Atlanta has one of the highest incidence rates of human trafficking in the country. Hundreds of young girls and boys are sold every month right here in Georgia. I was proud to cosponsor legislation in Congress that shut down scores of sex trafficking websites and gave our law enforcement more tools to investigate, arrest and prosecute traffickers.
I left home when I was just 17, and I know that it is by the grace of God that I remained safe and have been able to have such an amazing journey. Our current immigration system rewards those who break our laws, while punishing those who follow the laws. So, where do we start? We start by enforcing existing laws and by securing the Southern border. I served on the Judiciary Committee where I played a key role on this important issue.
In Congress, I will continue to aggressively push for border security and funding for the wall, support for our ICE and Border Patrol personnel, and a system that is fairer and more expeditious for those seeking to come to our country legally. At the same time, we must come together to make our communities as safe as possible and find ways to stop gun and other types of mass violence tragedies, like Parkland, the Boston Marathon, and Dayton, before they happen.
While violent crimes overall have decreased across the country, acts of mass violence have been on the rise, and we must identify threat assessment, intervention, and management techniques that can stop or at least diffuse these acts of violence. Still, more must be done, and we must recognize that there is no single, quick-fix solution.
We need to: 1 fund research into the underlying causes of mass violence and the link between mass violence and mental illness, violent video games, and other societal and behavioral factors; 2 ensure that the various levels of law enforcement are interacting effectively and expeditiously in identifying and acting upon potential threats; and 3 facilitate more robust community-based threat assessment training.
Immigration True national security means securing our borders. Israel The United States and Israel share a remarkable friendship. Jobs and the Economy After 8 years of the Obama Administration's growth stifling policies, our economy -- and American families -- has suffered.
Medicare I believe that we need to preserve and protect Medicare for current seniors and protect Medicare for future generations. Pro-Life I am Pro-life and believe that life begins at conception. Taxes Our tax code is way too complex and even punitive. A runoff election between the top two vote recipients, therefore, was required to decide who went on to the general election.
