I was getting ready to head to Texas for Law School, and after passing the bar and graduation, I spent the early days of my legal career standing up for poor people in courthouses across the Atlanta area.
One of the first cases I took on was the appeal of an indigent man sentenced to be put to death for a murder for which he had been wrongly convicted. (Four years later I had the honor of triumphantly walking that client off of death row and into the front passenger seat of my car, whereupon we departed for breakfast at Waffle House. 🧇)
I later became a DeKalb County magistrate judge, following the law with a high standard of ethics to make sure everyone got the fair justice they deserved.
That meant recusing myself from cases assigned to my court where there was even a hint of a previous financial or legal relationship.
Now I'm working in Congress to defend the rights of Americans and hold our government accountable for violating them—including my quest to reform our MAGA Supreme Court.
Trump has packed it with extreme right-wing justices whose lifetime tenure entitles them to thumb their noses at real people while protecting the President from consequence and delivering for the billionaire class.
And though his cronies on the Supreme Court might have rejected his most recent attempt to steal the 2026 midterms, our next chance to reign them both in is this November.
John, the House Speaker just sent us home on recess until after Election Day, so we've got the next six weeks to defend this seat and help elect Democrats up and down the ballot. Will you chip in today to help us mobilize voters across Georgia's 4th Congressional District?
