NW Georgia Deserves Better
For 5 years, NW Georgia has been left behind by Marjorie Taylor Green. I can understand why she decided to quit. My plans are focused on making life better for the people; putting more money in the pockets of hard-working Georgian; schools with teachers who are well paid and able to focus on teaching; passing a farm bill that benefits small and medium sized farms instead of corporate farms; protecting our veterans; securing the border with a tough but compassionate immigration policy and bringing in industries that will provide high-paying, generational jobs for our district for decades to come.
Shawn’s vision for a stronger northwest Georgia includes:
Agriculture
- Pass a fully funded Farm Bill—Congress’s delays and political games have left rural communities in limbo.
- Protect SNAP— fight senseless cuts and keep food on the table for kids and struggling families.
- Invest in water infrastructure—rural towns can’t grow when aging systems fail farmers and factories alike.
- Make advanced ag tech available to all—so small farmers aren’t left behind while corporate giants surge ahead.
Healthcare
- Defend Medicaid and Medicare from Congress’s proposed cuts—because affordable care and prescriptions are essential for strong families and communities.
- Employ more specialists in our region, not hours away—rural patients shouldn’t have to lose work or risk emergencies just to see a doctor.
- Expand rural mental health and addiction treatment—Congress’s budget proposal would take away the opportunities families need to get back on track.
- Restore Roe protections and stop political interference—every family deserves the freedom to make personal decisions without government overreach.
- Support medical marijuana access and remove it from federal drug schedules so veterans and chronic pain patients have safe options.
Our Cost of Living & Economy
- Expand drug price negotiations—Congress has left Big Pharma in charge while seniors and working families keep paying more.
- Crack down on price gouging—because no company should exploit captive customers just to boost profits.
- Fund rural broadband for real—not empty promises. High-speed internet means jobs, school, telehealth, and a future for small towns.
- Bring federal and private-sector jobs back home, not just headlines and handshakes. Northwest Georgia has the workers—what we need is real investment!
- Stand with working people to protect fair pay, safe conditions, and the right to organize—while Congress weakens labor protections and sides with corporations.
- It’s time to fix our roads—we need to finish the job and fund rural infrastructure, because every family deserves safe, paved roads and reliable access.
National & Border Security
- Fix our broken immigration system—Congress’s negligence has failed farmers, families, and border security alike.
- Modernize asylum processing with fast, fair decisions—not endless catch-and-release or political stunts at the border.
- Expand port screening and Narcan access to take on the fentanyl crisis—no more Congress playing blame games.
- Defend American jobs and technology—Stand up to China, and invest in supply chains, cybersecurity, and innovation.
Veterans
- Restore local VA services and stop Congress’s push to privatize veteran healthcare. No veteran should have to drive hours for specialty care.
- Expand trauma care, suicide prevention, and peer support so we tackle the growing mental health crisis among veterans and no one is left to struggle alone.
- Invest in job training that builds on the real skills veterans bring home, so military service leads to opportunity.
