Georgia has cut its flat income tax rate in recent years, and the income tax is still the largest source of state revenue. Phasing it out would require other taxes or spending cuts to make up the difference.
Georgia should freeze property tax bills on homes at their current levels.
Background
Georgia already limits yearly increases in assessed home values unless local governments opt out, but tax bills can still rise. A freeze would stop bills on homes from going up, limiting local government and school revenue growth.
Georgia should adopt full Medicaid expansion for low-income adults.
Background
Georgia covers some low-income adults through its Pathways program, which requires work or other qualifying activities. Full expansion would cover adults earning up to 138 percent of the poverty line, with the federal government paying most of the cost.
Georgia should repeal its ban on most abortions after about six weeks of pregnancy.
Background
Georgia's 2019 law bans most abortions once cardiac activity can be detected, usually around six weeks. Repeal would make abortion legal later in pregnancy unless the legislature set a different limit.
Georgia's current abortion ban has created dangerous barriers to care at a time when too many women in our state are already dying from preventable pregnancy-related complications.
Georgia should keep requiring local jails to cooperate with federal immigration detention requests.
Background
A 2024 Georgia law requires jailers to check immigration status and honor federal detainer requests, with penalties for noncompliance. Reversing it would give sheriffs more discretion over cooperation.
When I was mayor of Atlanta, when ICE had the family separation policy in our state, in our nation, I made the decision to end our multi-year, multi-million dollar agreement with ICE because all money ain't good money.
Georgia should expand its private school voucher program to more students.
Background
Georgia's Promise Scholarship gives $6,500 a year toward private school or other costs to students zoned for low-performing public schools. Expansion would make more students eligible and raise the program's cost.
Georgia should let voters decide whether to legalize casino gambling.
Background
Casino gambling and sports betting are illegal in Georgia, and legalizing casinos would take a constitutional amendment approved by voters. The legislature has repeatedly declined to put the question on the ballot.
It will bring about $300 million into this state that can help us expand education and this state, allow every town to have access to a pre-K education.
