It’s clear where Betsy’s loyalty lies: with the for-profit colleges that prey on our young people and don’t deliver on the promised investment in their education. I stand with our students.

This is personal - My mother struggled to pay for my father’s insulin before he passed away. The cost of medicine ate up their retirement income. We have hit a point where regular working people cannot afford basic, cheap to make, lifesaving medications.
This is not a decision I made lightly but the allegation that the President withheld US military aid to pressure a foreign leader to investigate his political opponent & interfere in our election raises national security concerns on many levels.
GA07 is a top target for Republicans. They've already spent over a million in negative ads, they're planning to gerrymander the maps again, & they passed a bill to suppress the vote in GA.
If we lose GA07, we lose the House. Please spread the word about our competitive race.
