Georgia's District 13 Candidate Dr. Heavenly Kimes Policy Update: Public Safety + Purpose

ATLANTA - May 11, 2026 - PRLog -- Dr. Heavenly Kimes is calling for a new kind of leadership in District 13, one rooted in public safety, accountability, second chances, and real opportunity for working families.

Following a recent visit to Clayton County with Sheriff Levon Allen and Commissioner Tashe Allen, Dr. Kimes reaffirmed her commitment to partnering with law enforcement while also addressing the root causes that too often push young people into the justice system.

"Safe communities and second chances can exist at the same time," said Dr. Kimes. "We must support the officers working to protect our neighborhoods while also investing in programs that redirect troubled youth before one mistake becomes a lifetime sentence."

Kimes supports structured, boot camp–style youth programs that combine discipline, mentorship, education, job training, counseling, and leadership development for smaller, nonviolent offenses.

Her platform focuses on affordable healthcare, stronger education and workforce training, public safety with accountability, mental health support, criminal justice reform, economic growth and small business support, voting rights, infrastructure, and support for seniors, veterans, and working families.

"Washington does not need more politics as usual," Kimes said. "It needs real, relatable leadership that listens, understands the people, and fights for them every day."
