“I'm the mother of four; I know firsthand what it means to be pregnant and raise a family. I believe the decision to have a child is the most important emotional and financial decision a woman can make. Women should be able to make their own healthcare decisions with their doctors and families, not politicians. I am proud to have served on the board of Planned Parenthood Southeast to advocate for reproductive freedom for women living in Georgia. As your next state representative, I will continue to fight to restore a woman’s right to make her own medical decisions and ensure our daughters have access to quality healthcare.”

“To mark the two-year anniversary of the Dobbs decision, I joined in an event organized by Women for Biden Harris alongside local, state, and national leaders. We spoke up about the critical threats to abortion rights and reproductive care we’re facing against a potential second Trump term. These rights must be codified at every level - state and national. I will continue to fight to restore and preserve critical reproductive freedoms, IVF, and access to contraception.”

“Two years ago today, the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, abandoning nearly 50 years of federal protections for reproductive freedom. Since then, weve seen hundreds of bills attacking CHOICE. Lets remember: 63% of Americans support the legal right to abortion in all or most cases (Pew Research Center). This election cycle is pivotal. In the wake of Roes overturn, a record number of pro-choice Democratic women are running for office. As your next state representative, I will continue to fight under the Gold Dome as I have in my community, to restore a womans right to make her own medical decisions and ensure our daughters have access to quality healthcare. #Susie4GA #GaPol #RoevWade #Roevember #ReproductiveRights #Choice #GAHouseDistrict53”

“The Supreme Court has upheld access to mifepristone. This is a sigh of relief for abortion access nationwide but this case should have never escalated to this point.

“What if I told you, some of the most harmful legislation passed in recent years was decided by just one vote? The 2024 private school voucher bill passed by one vote. Georgia's abortion ban passed by one vote. Medicaid expansion failed in committee by one vote.”

“I am so outraged by Georgia’s abortion ban that I am running for State House District 53 to restore our rights to self-determination and autonomy. I fight for reproductive rights because I passionately believe that every human should have control over their body and their destiny. My involvement in the pro-choice movement began as a patient escort for a woman’s clinic in the 1980’s and it never stopped. Currently, I serve as a Vice President of Advocacy for NCJW – Atlanta and I am a past Board Member of Planned Parenthood Southeast. Prior to the Dobbs Case, I worked to protect abortion rights and now I’m working to restore them--no matter what.”

“What a powerful afternoon watching L-8 Official Short Film with Georgia WIN List. L-8 is a catalyst for much needed conversations about the status of reproductive medical care, particularly in states like Georgia which have currently enforced six-week abortion bans. The time to fight for reproductive freedom is now and we must demand women be recognized as complete and full citizens with bodily autonomy.”
