Top Three Priorities of Jennifer's Campaign
Reproductive Choice
The women of Georgia should have full bodily autonomy. Jennifer is in favor of overturning the 6-week ban and reinstating Roe v Wade. Abortion should be available without restriction through the 2nd trimester and decisions about 3rd trimester abortions should be the purview of medical professionals in consultation with their pregnant patients to protect their health, without undue interference from legislators who have no medical knowledge.
Medicaid Expansion
The people of GA deserve to have access to high quality medical care. GA currently has the 2nd highest percentage of uninsured residents, and is one of only 10 states that have not taken the Medicaid Expansion under the ACA. That means GA taxpayers pay for a benefit they have no access to. Plus GA has a crisis of hospital closures, in both rural and urban areas due to not enough resources for uninsured patients. Considering this expansion will save us money, it's a no brainer!
Voting Rights
There is nothing more sacred in America than representative government and the right to vote. Georgia should be doing everything possible to make it easier to vote while preserving security of elections, such as stopping purges of voters, making Election Day a state holiday, and making mail-in voting more accessible. Our elections structure should also be fair, such as using an independent redistricting committee to draw lines rather than legislators themselves, and using voting systems like Ranked Choice Voting to give voters more choice in their candidates without having costly runoffs.
