Chuck's priorities

Issues

Tax Cuts

Historic inflation and reckless spending by Washington Democrats have made the last several years challenging for our Georgia families. But Chuck proudly held the line against Biden’s tax-and-spend policies by working with Governor Kemp to cut taxes and keep them low. Not only did Chuck vote to suspend the gas tax and provide property tax relief grants, he also worked as Majority Leader to pass a SECOND round of $1 billion in tax rebates in 2023 – putting money in your pocket, where it belongs.

Protecting the Vulnerable

Chuck has been the quintessential leader in Georgia to stand in the gap to give a voice to the voiceless. Whether continuing to pass new protections for victims of human trafficking or defending the sanctity of life, Chuck never backs down from doing what’s right. In 2023, he made it a priority to protect our children by passing the Safe Schools Act to increase funding to ensure that schools have safety plans and our teachers receive anti-gang training.

Education

There is nothing more important than ensuring our kids have access to a world class education in the best schools. That’s why investing wisely in education and setting literacy standards have been some of Chuck’s top priorities as Majority Leader. Not only did he ensure that this year’s state budget fully funds our K-12 schools, but he provided Georgia teachers with a well-earned $2,000 pay raise.

Public Safety

Using his experience as a former Assistant District Attorney putting dangerous criminals behind bars, Chuck has made it a priority to crack down on crime in Georgia. During the 2023 session, Chuck helped increase penalties for rioting, violent street gangs, and terrorism. He also worked to give $4,000-$6,000 raises for state law enforcement officers to ensure these courageous officers are FULLY funded and FULLY equipped to keep violent criminals off the streets and behind bars – where they belong.

Consumer Protection

Chuck knows consumers are the lifeblood of the American economy, and he has stood up for our families in the State House. In 2023, he was honored to vote for legislation to ensure that when a customer signs up for a subscription online they must also be allowed to cancel the subscription online.
