Investing in Education

Building a brighter future for Middle Georgia's children

Bethany Ballard understands that education is the foundation of our children's future and our state's prosperity. As Chair of the Education Curriculum Subcommittee, she has been a tireless advocate for strengthening our schools, supporting our teachers, and empowering parents. Bethany's commitment to education goes beyond rhetoric – she's delivered real results that are making a difference in classrooms across Middle Georgia.

Supporting Military Families

Honoring those who serve by serving their families

As a military spouse herself, Bethany intimately understands the unique challenges faced by military families. She's made it her mission to ensure that those who sacrifice so much for our country are supported here at home. Through her legislative efforts, Bethany has worked tirelessly to make Georgia the most military-friendly state in the nation, focusing on employment opportunities for spouses and supporting the vital missions at Robins Air Force Base.

Protecting Family Farms and Agriculture

Preserving Georgia's agricultural heritage and future

Agriculture is the backbone of Georgia's economy, and Bethany is committed to ensuring it remains strong for generations to come. She understands that protecting our family farms isn't just about economics – it's about preserving a way of life that has defined our state for centuries. Bethany's efforts in the legislature have focused on keeping Georgia's farmers competitive in a global market while ensuring that the family farm remains a viable and thriving institution.

Cutting Taxes and Growing the Economy

Putting more money back in Georgians' pockets

Bethany believes that Georgians know how to spend their money better than the government does. That's why she's been a champion for conservative fiscal policies that cut taxes, reduce regulations, and create an environment where businesses can thrive. Her efforts have helped return billions of dollars to hardworking Georgians while still maintaining the essential services that keep our state running smoothly.

Keeping Communities Safe

Standing with law enforcement to protect our families

Bethany understands that safe communities are the foundation for prosperity, health, and happiness. She's been a staunch supporter of law enforcement and has worked to pass legislation that gives our officers the resources they need to keep our neighborhoods safe. At the same time, she's advocated for smart reforms that ensure justice is served fairly and efficiently.
