● Homeownership: The House will address housing affordability by focusing on cutting through government red tape and reducing regulatory barriers that drive up housing costs.
● Healthcare Access: The House will continue working to increase access to quality, affordable healthcare by expanding medical education opportunities and growing Georgia’s healthcare workforce.
● Literacy: The House will continue its efforts to strengthen literacy outcomes for Georgia’s children by putting forward a plan to place a literacy coach in every elementary school across the state and increasing resources for birth-to-five education.
