McBath's campaign website stated the following:

Health Care As a two-time breast cancer survivor and daughter of two medical professionals, I understand the importance of quality, affordable health care. I strongly believe that access to healthcare is a fundamental right, and as your Congresswoman, I will consistently vote for proposals that would allow more Georgians to get covered. The Affordable Care Act (ACA) made it possible for millions of Americans with preexisting conditions to enroll in life saving insurance coverage. The White House wants to allow insurers to again discriminate against people with preexisting conditions, and I believe this is unacceptable. I want to ensure that Georgia never sees another day where women can be denied coverage because they were survivors of sexual assault or simply have given birth. Being a mother and a two-time breast cancer survivor myself, I fully understand the potential devastating effects of a full ACA repeal. In contrast to Karen Handel, I support the ACA but believe that the law could be made better: adding a robust public option to increase competition in the ACA marketplace; increasing funding for community health centers; lowering the Medicare eligibility age to 55; and implementing policies that would lower the cost of prescribed medication. I am also a staunch advocate for expanding Medicaid here in Georgia. When elected to Congress, I will be a strong voice to call on lawmakers in Atlanta to accept the billions of dollars already allocated to our state from the federal government. Gun Safety My son, Jordan Davis, was shot and killed at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida in 2012 in a senseless act of gun violence. The bullet that killed my son also tore a hole in my heart. But while I grieve Jordan every day, his death also gave my life a new purpose: advocating for gun violence prevention. Following this senseless tragedy, I spent five years as Faith and Outreach Leader at Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America, and as a leader in the Everytown for Gun Safety Survivor Network. I also addressed the 2016 Democratic National Convention as a Mother of the Movement; a group of seven women whose lives were permanently affected by the scourge of gun violence. After the shooting in Parkland, Florida, I knew that I could no longer sit on the sidelines while the politicians in the pocket of the gun manufacturing lobby decide the future of our gun laws. While I support the 2nd Amendment rights of Georgians, we can still advocate for common sense gun violence prevention to make our communities safer. As a Member of Congress, I will push for implementing background checks for all firearm purchases; raising the minimum age to purchase a gun to 21 years of age; working to defeat conceal carry reciprocity measures; and introducing legislation to keep guns out of the hands of domestic abusers and other criminals. Jobs & The Economy I understand what it takes to raise a family here in Metro Atlanta. I was a Delta flight attendant for three decades, and I was proud to raise my son Jordan here. I will apply common sense Georgia values and do everything I can to protect your pocketbook or wallet. This is why I strongly oppose the Trump-Handel Tax Scam signed into law in December 2017. I am a staunch supporter of middle class and small business tax cuts, but I also believe that the Trump-Handel Tax Scam disproportionately benefits the ultra-wealthy and multinational corporations. Furthermore, I am concerned that the Trump-Handel Tax Scam will exacerbate wealth inequality in our country and burden our children with an insurmountable amount of debt. Instead, I favor focusing on the middle class and working families. In addition to making middle class tax cuts permanent, I want to increase the minimum wage and making the federal earned income tax credit more generous. Growing up, I was taught that if you are able and willing to put in hard work in America, you should be able to earn a living wage. No one in Cobb, DeKalb, or Fulton Counties can comfortably live on $7.25 an hour. When it comes to trade, I strongly disagree with the Trump Administration applying seemingly-random tariffs on imported goods. I fear that these tariffs will eventually lead to a trade war which will undoubtedly hurt Georgia families and businesses. Georgia’s exports have increased by 50% over the past decade, and we cannot afford these senseless policies if Metro Atlanta wants to compete well into the 21st century. I support free and fair multilateral trade agreements with our allies. Atlanta is in many ways a gateway to the rest world, and I feel it would be a catastrophic mistake to further isolate the United States from our partners. But that being said, when we enter such agreements, the United States must insist on strong protections for the environment and our workers. Education Education is an issue near and dear to my heart. I am proud to have created the Champion in the Making Legacy Foundation for high schoolers wishing to attend traditional and vocational schools. I created this 501(c)(3) to honor my son Jordan’s legacy; a foundation which offers educational assistance to support students that might otherwise fall through the cracks. In this vein, I understand that student debt too often holds our students and graduates back. This crippling burden hurts our economy, discourages innovation, and makes it harder for working people and families to feel comfortable in their fiscal situations. I will support legislation to ameliorate this problem. When I am in Congress, I will work to fully fund K-12 public education, and to make community colleges, public universities, and vocational schools more affordable for working families. I strongly oppose Betsy DeVos’ agenda in Washington, and I believe that our public schools need to be strengthened in order to give all of our children a solid educational foundation. Immigration & DACA I stand with the DREAMers. Full stop. These brave folks have come to the United States through no fault of their own, and America is the only home they know. They serve in uniform, teach our students, help grow our local businesses, and are our neighbors. I know firsthand what it is like to have part of your family ripped away from you. That is why I refuse to turn my back on DACA recipients and will co-sponsor a clean DREAM Act in one of my first actions in Congress. I will also make comprehensive immigration reform a top priority, working with Democrats and Republicans alike to enact a solution to this contentious issue. I am also deeply troubled by the rhetoric coming out of the White House in general. As a woman of color, I understand what discrimination looks like. My father was a twenty-year leader in the Illinois NAACP, and he taught me that diversity is an American strength worth treasuring. I unforgivingly condemn demagoguery in all its forms and I am an unwavering opponent of Trump’s travel ban. Women's Rights I am a two-time breast cancer survivor, so I understand firsthand how essential healthcare options are for women all throughout the country. That is why I oppose the Trump-Handel plan to defund Planned Parenthood. 2.4 million individuals receive health care services from Planned Parenthood every year, and I will fight tooth and nail for the essential services that Planned Parenthood provides. In this vein, I fully support funding programs that help enable women to have the autonomy to make reproductive decisions. This includes greater access to contraception products and family planning services. Furthermore, I fundamentally believe that everyone should earn equal pay for equal work. I support the Lilly Ledbetter Fair Pay Act, and I wish to build on that law to make workplaces more equitable for Georgia women. One way to improve the lives of working women and their families is to ensure paid family leave. The United States is the only industrialized country in the world to not offer parental leave, and I will support legislation that would allow working mothers and fathers to care for their children appropriately. Studies suggest that paid maternal leave boosts employer productivity while also has tangible, positive health effects for parents and newborns alike. Paid maternity and paternity leave is just common sense. Another common sense piece of legislation that I wholeheartedly support is the Violence Against Women Act (VAWA). VAWA has been an essential tool to protect women and to prosecute those who have committed violent crimes against them. Shamefully, every single Georgia Republican member of the House of Representatives voted against reauthorizing this important law only a few years ago; I will not only vote to reauthorize VAWA, but also advocate for strengthening the legislation. Money in Politics I strongly disagree with the Citizens United decision. Dark money has had a corrosive effect on our democracy, and I will support any legislation that would increase the role of public funding in our elections. Furthermore, the exorbitant amount of money in our elections process has contributed to the political polarization that has made Washington such a toxic place. Our congress people’s votes should not and cannot be sold to the highest bidder. As your congresswoman, my vote will always come from a place of introspection and dialogue within the district. We may not always agree on every issue, but my vote will never come as dictated by a special interest. Israel Israel is the homeland and refuge for millions of Jewish people who have fled anti-Semitism worldwide. I recognize the tremendous friendship that our country and the State of Israel have enjoyed over the past seven decades; our intelligence, military, and diplomatic relationships are essential for American interests abroad. In Congress, I will be a strong voice in support of the State of Israel. I also support a common sense two state solution. Israelis and Palestinians alike deserve the right to self-determination. But I am also deeply concerned that this administration does not have a comprehensive plan to move the peace process forward. The United States needs to act as an honest peace broker in Israel and the Middle East at-large, and the White House’s actions to move unilaterally on major foreign policy decisions hurts our reputation and efforts to act as an arbiter in this immensely complicated issue. Environment Climate change represents an existential threat to our environment. I agree with the Department of Defense: climate change is one of the most urgent national security issues of our time. The science of climate change is conclusive and indisputable: humans are the principal cause of it and our planet is warming at an extremely alarming rate. In Congress, I will fight for larger investments into alternative, clean sources of fuel, and I will support legislation that would increase subsidies for homeowners who wish to utilize solar and other forms of energy. I also am unequivocally opposed to offshore drilling off our pristine Georgia coasts. While international oil interests stand to benefit, the Georgia economy and environment will suffer as a result. That is why I am wholeheartedly against the Trump environmental agenda. I join the growing chorus of those calling for the resignation of EPA Administrator Scott Pruitt, who is the embodiment of the graft and corruption that we see all too frequently coming out of Washington, DC. Perhaps more importantly, Mr. Pruitt works every day to systematically destroy environmental safeguards that protect our water and air. He must be removed. Infrastructure Infrastructure gives our country a unique bipartisan issue to find common ground in this age of intense political polarization. Anyone who has driven through the 6th Congressional District, and the rest of Atlanta, has encountered some of the worst traffic in the country. Our crumbling infrastructure affects our quality of life, economy and businesses. In America, we have severe problems with our aging roads, bridges, and communications infrastructure. I would support a plan that funds public projects to bring our roads, airports, and transit into the 21st century. LGBTQ Rights My father acted as the Illinois NAACP branch spokesman when I was a young girl. He taught me from an early age that equality is worth fighting for. Always. And I heed Reverend King’s words: “The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice.” We have a long way to go to ensure equality and justice for LGBTQ individuals. The Trump administration’s discriminatory acts against the LGBTQ community are unconscionable, and I worry that his executive orders are enabling discrimination. Moreover, Karen Handel did not stand up to the administration’s proposed ban on transgender military service people. I will. If you are brave enough to put on our beloved country’s uniform, I say “Godspeed.” Transgender individuals deserve the same rights as anyone else. In general, I am a staunch supporter of expanding protections for the community and will work to ensure that there are laws on the books to prevent any type of discrimination. I believe marriage equality was a very positive step in the right direction, but there is so much more work to be done. That is why I support the Equality Act, which would proscribe discrimination of LGBTQ individuals in several areas including in the workplace, housing, and credit and financial assistance. I am also deeply concerned about the treatment of LGBTQ youth, which is why I also support the Student Non-Discrimination Act.[4] |
