Commissioner of Agriculture

Argues the Department's disaster response too often feels disconnected from the producers it's meant to help. In her first 90 days she'd launch a full review of how the agency handles disaster relief, licensing, inspections, and producer support so aid actually reaches struggling farmers faster.

Centers her campaign on rising input costs and market access for Georgia farmers — her nonprofit's whole model is connecting growers to buyers — and says the office should be hands-on practical help for producers, not bureaucracy.

Built her career on getting fresh, locally grown food to families; making that access broader and more equitable across rural and underserved Georgia is a signature priority.

Wants to modernize how the Department handles licensing and inspections — part of her 90-day accountability review — so the process is consistent and transparent for small businesses rather than confusing and slow.

Highlights the office's everyday consumer-protection role — including fuel-pump and weights-and-measures accuracy at the gas pump — as a concrete way the commissioner protects ordinary Georgians' wallets.

Approaches hemp and other newer commodities through her broader lens of innovation and clear, fair regulation, emphasizing predictable rules and producer support over culture-war framing; she has said less than the incumbent on specific hemp restrictions.

Backs protecting Georgia farmland and water resources and promoting sustainable forestry and land stewardship, tying conservation to keeping family farms viable for the next generation.

Frames land protection around keeping farmland in the hands of Georgia families and producers; she has focused on affordability and access rather than the foreign-ownership ban the incumbent has made a centerpiece.
