As a national security aid, I worked with our military to strengthen our national defense.

My job is to make the case that I'll do the best job possible representing the people of Georgia's Sixth District, and what they want is representation that's focused on them and not this national partisan political circus.

I never took that stuff personally when people said I was too young, too inexperienced. I get politics. I get attack ads. But they said 'mobbed up family.' That we were criminals. That kills me.
