Jan has championed state income tax reductions, resulting in cuts from 6% to 5.39% and advocating for further reductions each year as tax surpluses arise. She passed strong property tax reassessment freezes for Fulton County, Fulton Schools and its cities, saving homeowners thousands annually. Jan also secured a full senior school homestead exemption for Cherokee County. She will continue to seek further reductions in property taxes and fees associated with home ownership despite opposition from the Democrats.

Jan has voted against policies that encourage illegal immigration to Georgia, aiming to prevent the state from facing the same challenges as New York and California with increased costs for public services. Jan will never support the hazardous policies on illegal immigration promoted by the Democrats, like those implemented in Minnesota under Gov. Tim Walz, which included taxpayer-funded health and college benefits for illegal immigrants. In 2024, Jan supported a mandate for local law enforcement to report illegal immigrants arrested for crimes to federal authorities, countering the dangerous catch-and-release policies of rogue liberal sheriffs in our state.

Jan has a strong record supporting tougher penalties for violent criminals and sex offenders and co-authored legislation to block “defund the police” movements in Georgia. She supports local law enforcement by enhancing their pay, resources and mental health support. Additionally, Jan voted to increase safety grants to public schools, ensuring each receives $45,000 annually for security measures.

Jan, a mother of four and grandmother to three young grandchildren, has been a significant leader in enhancing educational opportunities for children. In 2024, she spearheaded a House working group on Pre-K, passing major reforms including reduced class sizes, increased teacher salaries, and expanded funding, earning the “Legislator of the Year” Georgia Childcare Association award. She also revised the HOPE scholarship to incentivize STEM fields and supported K-12 teacher pay raises and increased parental leave for teachers. Jan led the creation of “Completion Schools” to support students at-risk of dropping out and championed a constitutional amendment for more charter schools. Additionally, she enabled funding for students in the lowest-ranking schools to attend alternative educational institutions. Her recent legislative efforts allows students assigned to the lowest-ranking schools to use up to $6,500 in state-only funding at an accredited school of their choice, prioritizing those from low-income families. This initiative aims to provide more educational options and support for those in the most disadvantaged situations.
