Environment / Energy Evaluate load forecasts and infrastructure plans for realism and risk. Environment / Energy Scrutinize electric, natural gas, and telecommunications proposals using engineering standards. Environment / Energy Support necessary investments in transmission and distribution. Environment / Energy Encouraging efficiency, modernization, and emissions reduction when they improve reliability or lower long-term costs. Environment / Energy Aligning risks with those who create them — not shifting them to ratepayers. Environment / Energy Supporting cleaner or more efficient technologies only when benefits are measurable and verifiable. Environment / Energy Strengthen natural gas pipeline reliability and system resilience. Environment / Energy Ensure costs are allocated to those who cause them — not shifted onto ratepayers. Environment / Energy I am pro-growth, pro-business, and pro-data center. But I am equally committed to protecting Georgia’s ratepayers across all utility services. Strong infrastructure requires strong engineering — and strong, independent oversight. Environment / Energy Rejecting costly mandates that burden families without delivering real performance improvements. Environment / Energy Challenge speculative investments and unsupported assumptions. Infrastructure / Transportation Promote durable telecommunications infrastructure across the state. Environment / Energy Demand transparent cost estimates and competitive procurement. Environment / Energy Ensure Georgia maintains sufficient reserve margins.
