Catherine Morris
Georgia State House District 119

A problem solver, not a politician.

Mother. Problem-Solver. Advocate for Our Community.

I'm a Barrow County mom of two daughters in our public school system, and like so many families in our district, I know firsthand the challenges we're facing. I chose to raise my family in Barrow County for the schools, the affordable cost-of-living, and, most importantly, the community. But our community is facing increasing headwinds.

The status quo no longer works for the majority of hard-working families in our area. The cost of living continues to rise at unsustainable rates, housing and healthcare have become increasingly unaffordable, and our schools remain underfunded and unsafe. No parent should have to worry about putting food on the table every night or the safety and well-being of their kids on any given school day.

House District 119 needs a committed advocate — one who is not afraid of starting tough conversations in the name of solving these problems. And I am just that — a problem solver with over 20 years of experience serving the public. I am committed to ensuring that Barrow and Jackson Counties are affordable, safe, and growing on our terms so families can continue to live, work, and thrive here. I will fight for the well-being of each and every one of you — across party, generational, ability, and income lines.

Results Driven Leader

I'm a full-time mom and a nonprofit leader, currently serving as Director of Planning, Reporting, and Analytics at an international organization, where I develop and lead strategies to expand and grow our mission and impact.

This work — along with my work at past organizations such as the U.S. Institute of Peace and the World Bank — has provided me with thorough experience in developing and implementing effective policies, building coalitions, and delivering sustainable results — all while maximizing limited budget resources.

Now, I'm eager to bring my over two decades of experience to the State House, where I will work with anyone and everyone to advocate for our community and deliver real results. You've spent your life working hard every day for your family and community, and you deserve a State Representative who works just as hard for you and your loved ones.

What I'm Fighting For

Practical solutions for the real challenges facing Georgia families.

Affordability & Economic Growth

Too many people are working harder than ever but still falling further behind as wages stagnate and costs continue to rise. No one should have to choose between putting food on the table, gas in their car, or paying their mortgage.

We Deserve the American Dream.

We deserve:

  • Economic growth and shared prosperity — an economy that rewards hard work, supports small businesses, and creates real opportunities so every family can build a stable and successful future.
  • Lower taxes for working families — hardworking Georgians are being stretched too thin while costs keep rising. Seniors are being priced out of their homes, and families are struggling to keep up. We need fair tax rates, real relief, and an end to corporate loopholes, because if your wages haven't gone up, your taxes shouldn't either.
  • A strong and reliable safety net — one that is there when life takes an unexpected turn, helping families stay afloat and giving them the support they need to recover, rebuild, and move forward with confidence.

Together, we can build an economy that works for everyone — not just the wealthy or the fortunate. I'll fight for common-sense solutions that keep the playing field fair and ensure every hard-working family has a real chance to succeed. Because each of us matters. Because you matter.

Family Well-Being

Being a parent today is harder than ever. Between rising costs and growing concerns about safety, education and mental health, we are being asked to do more with less — less time, less support, and less money. That's why it's more important than ever for families to have a real voice — and a real partner — advocating for you at the Capitol. And that is exactly what I aim to do, because families deserve better.

Families deserve:

  • Safe schools — no child, parent, teacher or administrator should have to worry about safety on school grounds. Our children can't thrive through anxiety and fear. Protecting their future lives and well-being is a must, not simply an option. Period.
  • Affordable and accessible childcare, so parents can work and provide for their families without constantly worrying about how to manage when school isn't in session.
  • More cohesive support for families and parents — let's build a policy-rooted village for our families, including families of children with special needs who face unique challenges.
  • An environment where each of our children can grow up healthy and empowered to pursue their potential.

When you invest in parents, you invest in the foundation and future of our community. Supported parents raise well-adjusted, capable children who grow into reliable neighbors and productive members of our community. Because every family matters. Because you matter.

Healthcare

Healthcare is a necessity — not a privilege. Too many of our neighbors lack basic coverage and face financial devastation in the event of a medical emergency. Every member of our community deserves access to affordable, high-quality preventive, ongoing, and emergency care regardless of insurance, employment, or income.

We deserve:

  • Lower healthcare costs — from routine checkups to prescriptions. No one should have to ration insulin or skip cancer screenings because of cost.
  • Greater access to quality care — our rural communities face provider shortages and long travel times to specialists. In an emergency, distance matters. We must strengthen local healthcare infrastructure and support our rural hospitals, so care is close to home.
  • Coverage that works for you — you shouldn't lose health insurance when you change jobs, start a business, or retire. Small business owners shouldn't have to choose between offering coverage and keeping their doors open.

No one should have to delay care or ration life-saving medications because they can't afford it. No Georgian should be one health emergency away from financial hardship. As your State Representative, I will fight to ensure every family in our community can access the care they need to live healthy, prosperous lives.

Your health and well-being make up the backbone of our community, so our community should have your back. Because YOU matter.

Because You Matter

Every conversation counts. Every door knocked brings us closer. Be part of something bigger.
