Georgia State Representative Rep. Phil Olaleye, more importantly our Papa, will complete his first term in office today! 🧵 It is challenging being in the minority party, yet that has not stopped him from pushing forward. In his first term he has:

Meeting HD 98er Jean, one of a few constituents here using their voices on a big day. His issues: public safety & anti-immigrant measures that'll actually harm that safety inc. victims, & better roads, something we’ve worked on, but have more to do! Thanks to AAAJ for organizing!

Tried everything I could think of to work out a compromise so Wrongful Conviction Compensation legislation could move. I did not succeed. I’m disappointed for the innocent and for their families. The Senate did not pass any of the individual resolutions or the reform bill.

GREAT NEWS! Big wins for early childhood education on #SineDie in the final FY25 budget, including nearly $100 million increase for Georgia's Lottery-funded Pre-K and nearly $10 million for Georgia's Childcare & Parent Services (CAPS) Program. Thanks to all of the champions in

#SineDie. Spent 18 hours at the Capitol advocating for my constituents and Georgia, successfully blocking unfavorable legislation and allocating resources for law enforcement, teachers, and nurses. #mughal2024 #mughalforgeorgia #mughalforhd105 #publicsafety #publicpolicy #gapol

This term we blocked 4 Alien Land Law bills in the GA legislature. But this week, one, SB420, passed. Not only will it have a discriminatory effect on AAPI Georgians, it hurts the international business ties GA needs. It’s not too late to stop it. Tell Gov Kemp to VETO SB420.

🧵(1/6) Last night, the Georgia state legislature adjourned its 2024 legislative session without any anti-LGBTQ measures passing. Advocates successfully defeated nearly 20 bills intended to restrict the health, rights and well-being of Georgia’s LGBTQ community.

“[Telling my story] has helped me shed that shame and it has helped me find a voice that I will continue to use until we restore reproductive freedom here in Georgia.” - Rep. Shea Roberts (Rep Shea Roberts) politico.com/news/2024/03/2…

This Sunday morning Atlanta Journal-Constitution article captured the 2024 legislative session best. It was a long session for many reasons, but none more frustrating than politics driving policy — instead of the issues that matter most. #Gapol

GA has cut off 504,000+ people from Medicaid health coverage just for administrative issues, with another 93,000 people deemed ineligible. 1.4 million do not have health insurance-the third highest in the country. Morally wrong and economically disastrous. wabe.org/more-than-a-ha…

Just a reminder: The GA GOP blocked Medicaid expansion to support Kemp’s failed "Pathways to Coverage" health program that has enrolled less than 3,500 Georgians while costing taxpayers $26M. 90% of which has gone to admin fees instead of health care for Georgians who need it.

Rep Wade, we’re friends, I like and respect you, but I fail to understand how a patient living in the coverage gap without health insurance, with their nose pressed against the window of any new hospital, will be able to substantively avail themselves of the care offered inside.

GA dropped 300,000+ kids from the Medicaid & PeachCare for Kids health insurance programs, with one of the worst child disenrollment rates in the nation, bigger than the entire population of Augusta or Columbus. How is this putting Georgians first? ajc.com/news/health-ne…

That is an excellent question. Plus, the failure to expand Medicaid while defending and paying for an ineffective & more expensive program (Georgia Pathways). And a reminder: GA has the 2nd highest rate of uninsured in the nation.

This pretty well sums it up. ajc.com/news/health-ne…

As a Representative with Georgia House Democrats, I will continue telling my story and fighting until reproductive freedom is restored in GA and women's health is a priority in this state. #gapol #AbortionIsHealthcare

We did it! The Governor signed the 2025 budget and $2.1m is being delivered to Atlanta Technical College and District 59! Took two long years of work and collaboration, and there are too many people to thank. Just grateful to increase educational opportunities on the southside.
