Fellow Conservative,
We officially wrapped up the 2023 legislative session last week, and I’m proud to report that we got numerous priorities across the finish line.
It is my honor to serve hardworking Georgians and lead the charge to build a safer, stronger Georgia — where common-sense policies and opportunities prevail.
Here’s a rundown of some of our most notable accomplishments this year:
-
I signed a budget that reaffirms our commitment to help families weather the storm of Bidenflation and keep our Georgia economy firing on all cylinders. We returned $1 billion to taxpayers, authorized $950 million for homeowner tax relief, and we’re investing in key priorities.
- One of those key priorities is school safety – we’re investing $115.7 million in our public schools to keep Georgia kids safe.
- We approved a $2,000 pay raise for teachers and increased funding to recruit counselors.
- We’ve restored full funding for Georgia’s HOPE scholarships.
- We’re investing $92 million to help reduce health insurance premiums.
- We’re investing $35.7 million in rural housing development.
- We banned TikTok on all state devices.
- And we're imposing tougher mandatory minimum sentences for gang recruitment, cracking down on bail jumping, protecting our children, and creating a commission to ensure prosecutors are doing their jobs.
Thank you for your support this year, Fellow Conservative.
None of these accomplishments would have been possible if we didn’t have hardworking Georgians like you standing behind us!

P.S. We’re getting big things done – and we’re going to Keep Choppin’ each and every day! Help sustain our efforts to keep Georgia the best place in America to live, work, and raise a family. I'm grateful for any contribution you can pitch in.
