Republican

Candidate

My name is Mary Williams Benefield and I am the Republican Candidate in Georgia House District # 81. I am a lifelong resident of Dekalb County and an eighth generation Georgian; our beloved red clay runs deeply through my veins. I am a proud American Citizen, Taxpayer and Voter, that is fed up with fact that my voice, as well as the voices of my neighbors is not being heard. I will represent conservative principles in Georgia House District # 81.

Important to Me

Putting My Experience to Work
  • Only LEGAL Georgia Citizens VOTE. Uphold and protect the Georgia Constitution, Article II, Section I, Paragraph II: Right to register and vote. Every person who is a citizen of the United States and a resident of Georgia as defined by law, who is at least 18 years of age and not disenfranchised by this article, and who meets minimum residency requirements as provided by law shall be entitled to vote at any election by the people…
  • Election Legislation is between the Legislature and the Individual Voter. Corporations, Non-Profits, Third Parties have no STANDING in determining Election Legislation.
  • Clear and Understandable Legislation. Legislation and Statutes must have clear definitions and language that is readily understood in everyday language.

State My Issues

Taxation – Eliminate State Income & State Sales Tax

The FairTax, the best option for real tax reform. A consumption tax, in which only new goods or services that people choose to purchase is taxed. Through this model all purchases made in the State of Georgia will contribute; residents and visitors alike. For more a detailed understanding of the FairTax, please visit: www.gafairtax.org

Election Integrity – Finish the Job
  1. Clean up Voter Rolls and Voter Databases
  2. Discontinue Dominion Voting Machines
  3. Eliminate All Drop Boxes
  4. Return to Paper Ballots
Public Safety

Safety is a fundamental requirement of government. Citizens have a right to expect public safety resources to be available and responsive to emergency needs. Crime demoralizes families, communities and businesses.

  1. Increase funding to Law Enforcement Agencies for: Wage & Benefit Increases, Advance Training & Continuing Education Courses, Equipment that is well-maintained and technologically up to date, and Properly Staffing All First Responder Departments.
  2. Hold Prosecutors accountable to adhere to the laws of the State of Georgia and uphold their duty to prosecute criminal activity.
  3. Support Drug & Alcohol Court Programs.
Education – Educating our children is our first and highest priority.

Parents & Schools MUST work together in our public schools to create successful learning environments that achieve excellence. Academics are the road to excellence: Reading, Writing, Math, Science, History, Civics, Art, and Music. Extra-Curricular Courses: Home Economics & Technical Skills (Auto Mechanics, Wood Working, etc.)

Legislators MUST ensure that oversight and accountability measures are in place to reach this excellence by:

  • Audit funds from our current and past E-SPLOSTS, the CARES ACT, and all public and private grants so to identify overlapping or wasteful spending.
  • Expand Work-based Learning in our high schools to offer more vocational choices for students who don’t see college as a career path.
  • Address overcrowding of our schools by greatly restricting the use of school waivers regarding classroom size.
  • Utilize the Georgia Milestone Assessment System for year-end proficiency
  • The money must follow the child – Provide opportunities for School Choice: public or private that allows each individual child to find the best educational environment for their needs.
