Housing and Affordability
You should not be priced out of the community you built.
Rents are rising. Long-time residents are being displaced. Georgia has no meaningful anti-displacement law. Courtney will fight to change that.
The Challenge
What District 68 families are actually facing
District 68 sits in one of the most intense real estate pressure zones in the Southeast. South Fulton has grown by more than 20,000 residents in a decade. College Park is experiencing development pressure from its proximity to Hartsfield-Jackson, the world's busiest airport. Union City and Fairburn are attracting new investment as South Fulton County becomes increasingly desirable. For long-time residents, that growth has meant rising property taxes, rents that have outpaced wages, and HOA boards that can foreclose on homeowners over minor disputes. Georgia currently has no meaningful anti-displacement statute, no statewide tenant protections, and no meaningful limits on institutional investor speculation in residential communities.

What Courtney Says
The argument in her own words.
"The families who built South Fulton, College Park, and Union City should not be the last ones who can afford to live there."
"Rising property taxes are being used as a displacement mechanism against homeowners who have done nothing wrong. I will fight for relief that keeps families in their homes."
"When institutional investors buy thousands of single-family homes in a community, they are not investing in it. They are extracting from it."
"Georgia has no meaningful tenant protections. That is not a market outcome. That is a political choice. I will fight to change it."
"Growth that benefits only those who arrived is not prosperity. It is displacement with a construction permit."
Your Community
What this solution means where you live.

Renters
District 68 renters deserve stronger protections, more affordable options, and a representative who treats displacement as a policy problem that can be solved.
Long-term stability
Courtney will fight for tax relief, anti-displacement tools, and housing policy that keeps District 68 communities rooted as Georgia continues to grow.
