In addition, Mary is a proponent of providing better support and resources for Georgia families to succeed. She wants to fully expand Medicare for Georgians, so that Georgians have access to quality and affordable healthcare. Additionally, Mary is concerned about how the lack of quality health care systems contribute to Georgia’s ongoing maternal mortality crisis.
