Fun Fact
I've been married for 7 years to my lovely wife Devona Morris. We have 4 kids: Corynn (age 7), Mykenzie (age 3), Duprie (age 1) and McCoy (4 months).
Past Experience
erved as a Police Officer for the City of College Park, protecting and serving the same community where I was born and raised.
Led and trained soldiers as a Sergeant in the Georgia National Guard, ensuring readiness and discipline within my unit.
Built and operate small businesses within District 35, creating local jobs, managing teams, and supporting economic growth.
Mentored youth through community and business leadership programs, focusing on education, entrepreneurship, and empowerment.
My Top Issues
Invest in local businesses
As a business owner myself, I know firsthand that small businesses are the engine of Georgia’s economy, yet too often they’re buried under red tape and ignored by partisan politics. In the State Senate, I’ll champion real reforms that cut bureaucracy, protect fair taxation, and expand access to capital, workforce, and child-care solutions so local entrepreneurs can thrive and hire right here in our communities.
Invest in crime prevention
Every family in Georgia deserves to feel safe at home, in school, and on our streets. I will lead with a balanced approach that enforces accountability for violent crime, invests in prevention and mental health, and builds trust between law enforcement and the community so safety becomes a shared responsibility, not a political talking point.
Invest in local public education
Every child in Georgia deserves a safe, well-funded, and high-performing school that prepares them for the real world. I will fight to strengthen literacy, empower teachers, modernize classrooms, and protect schools in District 35, ensuring that state policy works for students, not against them.
Economy
Corenza Morris understands what it takes to build something from the ground up. Small businesses aren’t just storefronts or logos they are dreams in motion, and they represent the heartbeat of Georgia’s economy.
