Take Action

The Real Issues

On issue after issue, Stacey Evans’s record contradicts her campaign messaging. Here’s where she actually stands, based on her votes, not her talking points.

Tax Policy

She Talks About Working Families. She Votes for the Wealthy.

What She Claims

“Increasing minimum wage to prevent poverty among working Georgians.”

“Establishing a Georgia Earned Income Tax Credit.”

What She Voted For

✗ HB 1437 (Flat Tax): Eliminates Georgia’s progressive tax, making low-income Georgians pay the same rate as millionaires.

✗ HB 1023: Lowering the corporate tax rate, gutting state revenue.

✗ Voted NO on student loan relief for nurses.

A flat tax is the single most regressive tax policy change possible. Eliminating a progressive structure means a Georgian making $25,000/year pays the same percentage as someone making $2.5 million. Evans voted for it.

Education

Charter School Champion, Public School Underminer

What She Claims

“Advocating for fully funded K-12 public education.”

“HOPE Scholarship protections.”

What She Voted For

✗ SB 82 (2025): Charter privatization bill that penalizes public school boards.

✗ SB 588, HB 1215, SB 59, SB 153 (2021-22): Full charter school package.

✗ HB 123, HB 897 (2013-14): Charter school expansion.

✗ Voted NO on student loan repayment for nurses.

Evans has voted for charter school legislation across multiple sessions spanning over a decade. The 2025 bill she supported was explicitly criticized by fellow Democrats for “laying the groundwork for increased privatization of all of our public schools.”

Criminal Justice

She Claims Reform. She Votes for Criminalization.

What She Claims

“Supporting criminal justice reform and opposing mandatory minimums.”

“Protecting civil rights.”

What She Voted For

✗ HB 1075: New mandatory minimums criminalizing sex work.

✗ HB 268: Student surveillance database.

✗ HB 447: Co-sponsored overcriminalization bill with Republicans.

✗ SB 591: Criminalizing disruption of religious services.

Evans has explicitly said she opposes mandatory minimums. Then she voted for new mandatory minimums on HB 1075. This is not a misunderstanding: it is a contradiction between stated values and legislative action.

Policing & Civil Liberties

“They Are Doing Their Jobs.”

What She Claims

“Protecting civil rights.”

“A progressive voice for Atlanta.”

What She Said

✗ Defended officers who cracked down on Stop Cop City protesters.

✗ Used a “both sides” framing that dismissed activist concerns.

✗ Said on the House floor: “They are doing their jobs.”

The Stop Cop City movement was driven by Atlanta residents and civil rights organizers. When protesters were arrested, Evans stood with law enforcement: not her progressive base. Watch the video at 2:43:30.

Gun Safety

She Loosened Gun Laws, Then Claimed to Support Gun Safety

What She Claims

“Common-sense gun safety measures.”

What She Voted For

✗ HB 292 (2017-18): Firearm License Reform that removed licensing restrictions and made guns more accessible. Celebrated by Georgia 2A as a legislative victory for gun rights.
