BRING OUR RESPECT
H.O.M.E.
Healthcare. Opportunity. Military. Education
About Traci George
Traci George is a Gold Star family member, a mother of three, and a leader shaped by service, sacrifice, and responsibility.
Her husband served this country, and her family paid the ultimate price.
Traci knows that honor cannot stop at ceremony—it must be reflected in how government shows up for families long after the speeches are over.
That lived experience defines her mission: to bring our respect H.O.M.E.
For Traci, “home” is not a slogan. It is what families are supposed to feel—safety, dignity, opportunity, and trust that the systems meant to serve them actually work. As a mother raising children shaped by sacrifice, she understands both the human cost of government failure and the discipline required to fix it.
H — Healthcare
Healthcare access in Georgia’s 12th District is a crisis hiding in plain sight. Hospitals have closed. Long travel times for basic and specialized care are common. Even critical facilities—such as Eisenhower Army Medical Center—face ongoing threats that put military families, veterans, and surrounding communities at risk.
Healthcare should not depend on where you live, how much you earn, or how far you can travel.
The Plan
- Protect and expand the Affordable Care Act
- Treat mental health care as essential healthcare
- Address the maternal mortality crisis, with targeted action for Black women
- Lower prescription drug costs through federal negotiation and pricing reform
- Strengthen rural healthcare systems through workforce and infrastructure investment
O — Opportunity
Economic dignity is a right, not a privilege.
Families in GA-12 are working harder while gaining less security. Federal tax policy, workforce systems, and small-business supports have failed to keep pace with rising costs, regional inequities, and generational barriers to wealth.
Opportunity must be intentional, inclusive, and rooted in place.
The Plan
- Champion a living wage that reflects the real cost of living
- Expand and protect federal tax credits for working families
- Protect and strengthen Social Security for seniors and people with disabilities
- Increase federal investment in Black-owned, women-owned, rural, and veteran-owned businesses
- Build workforce pipelines connecting high schools, HBCUs, technical colleges, unions, and employers to living-wage jobs
M — Military Families, Veterans & Gold Star Families
I am a Gold Star family member—the spouse of a serviceman veteran who gave his life in service to this country. My advocacy is not theoretical. It is rooted in loss, responsibility, and a lifelong commitment to ensuring that families who sacrifice for this nation are never forgotten.
Too often, military families, veterans, and surviving spouses are honored in words and underserved in practice. That failure of follow-through must end.
The Plan
- Fully fund VA healthcare, mental health services, and long-term care
- Protect survivor benefits and ensure Gold Star families receive the support they have earned
- Strengthen transition services for veterans and military families returning to civilian life
- Create career pathways and job placement programs for military spouses and dependents
- Ensure access to safe, affordable, quality housing for veterans and military families
- Hold federal agencies accountable for timely, compassionate delivery of benefits
E — Education
In Georgia’s 12th District, ZIP code still determines educational opportunity.
From early childhood to higher education, inequity remains embedded in the system. Federal leadership must be bold enough to dismantle these barriers and invest where opportunity has been denied.
The Plan
- Fully fund Title I schools
- Protect student borrowers and expand loan forgiveness for educators, healthcare workers, and public servants
- Increase federal support for Paine College, the only HBCU in the district
- Expand access to early childhood education and childcare subsidies so parents can work and children can thrive
