Georgia WIN List is proud to endorse Ginny Lennox, a mother and grandmother who has lived in Woodstock for nearly 30 years, for House District 20. Ginny cares about the well-being of her neighbors, and is eager and willing to serve them by running for state office to represent the people of Cherokee County honestly and effectively.
She says she hopes to change the fact Georgia is falling behind in providing adequate healthcare and educational opportunities for everyone. With a lifelong career as an educator, Ginny knows hiring, training, and keeping the best teachers makes a difference in quality education.
Funding is critical – not only for our education departments, but for adequate health care as well.
“When my husband was diagnosed with a rare lung disease, we were fortunate to have insurance that covered his very expensive treatments for nine years before he died. Unfortunately, tens of thousands of Georgians have no such safety net. Our Republican-dominated legislature has been indifferent to the needless suffering of the state’s uninsured families,” she said.
Ginny said she is “tired of reading about the ranking of U.S. states on these issues and finding Georgia at or near the bottom of both.” She pledges to fight to extend affordable coverage to all Georgians instead of standing in the way because she painfully learned first-hand how critical healthcare is, and will fight for every person in Georgia to have the same access to quality care her late husband received.
As a mother and grandmother, she believes we all must to work on behalf of future generations, particularly when it comes to environmental issues. As stewards of the earth, she believes, we need to “stop simply lamenting what has come to pass, and press government and industry to set environmental protection as a top priority.”
Ginny states that Georgia is lagging in providing adequate health care, educational opportunities, and protection of the environment for everyone, and pledges to make those concerns a priority.
