Get Ready for Trump’s “Walmart Tax.”
70-80 percent of the goods we buy at Walmart, Dollar General, and other stores come from CHINA.
Why are Republicans supporting a SIXTY-PERCENT TAX on those goods through tariffs?
“It’s political suicide,” June Krise, Georgia Senate 50 candidate, explains in this video. “Trump’s billionaire tax cuts expire next year. He needs a way to pay for those tax cuts for his buddies.”
“Economists call this a REGRESSIVE TAX,” Kim Floria, candidate for GA House 30, explained. “Regressive taxes — like the sales tax — hit the working class the hardest.”
“None of the Republicans running in our district, including Bo Hatchett (R), Derrick McCollum (R), Victor Anderson (R), or my opponent, Stan Gunter (R) have renounced this giant tax,” Charlotte Sleczkowski, candidate GA House 8 said. “This is our last chance to protect our wallets, or get ready to get socked with up to a $3900 price increase next year at the checkout.”

How Trump’s tariff plans could kill jobs and worsen inflation
CNN – 4/11/24 | In a worst-case scenario, economists fear these policies could set the stage for a recession.
“The policy is very bad. Tariffs make consumers poorer. They shrink the economy. This would probably be the most damaging part of a Trump 2.0 economic agenda.”
Trump Tariffs Would Raise Household Taxes And Slow Imports
Brookings Institution – Tax Policyt Center – 8/15/24 | A worldwide 10 percent tariff and a 60 percent tariff on Chinese goods proposed by Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump would lower average after-tax incomes of US households in 2025 by about $1,800.
Tariffs: What They Are and How They Impact Your Wallet
Kiplinger Finance – 8/30/24 | A 20% tariff on all imported goods, with a 60% tax on Chinese goods would amount to about $3,900 more in taxes for a middle-income family in 2026, CAP estimates. That’s up from the $2,500 tax increase associated with Trump’s previous proposal.
Meet the Fab Four
June Krise
Georgia Senate District 50
After a career as a registered nurse, health care advocate, and active supporter of human rights causes, I am moved to give back to my colleagues, friends, and neighbors in return for all that I learned from them. I am anxious to get to work on improving healthcare, education, protecting the environment, and the arts. My priorities also include expanding tourism, guaranteeing equal rights — including women’s reproductive rights, and common sense criminal justice reform.
My background and accomplishments qualify me to accomplish these legislative goals. I have served as President of the 9th District Democratic Women and I am currently the Chair of the 9th Congressional District for the Democratic Party of Georgia and President of the Georgia Federation of Democratic Women. My experiences in healthcare, as a small business owner, and as a consultant to many people in community care have allowed me to learn the skills of executive management. Those skills include clear communication, information transfer, team-building, cooperation, and negotiation that underlie the processes of developing and passing legislation.

Kim Floria
Kim Floria | Georgia House District 30
I am a mom, a sign language interpreter, a disability advocate, and a small business owner. I’d be honored to use my tireless energy to help this community be an even better place for all our children and grandchildren to grow up. I am running to represent you because I believe this community deserves someone who strongly believes in:
Helping Others Succeed: I am a firm believer in the principle that if one of us succeeds, all of us succeed. My mother, a social worker, and my grandmother, a Catholic school teacher, taught me to meet each person where they are and to not only value them for who they are but to help them reach their full potential.
The Importance of Community: One of the things that I love most about living here is the strong sense of community. Our community is better when we all work together to strengthen each other.
Justice and Equality: I learned the value of justice and equality from my father, who practiced law and often provided pro-bono services to clients who didn’t have the means to pay. In our democratic quest to become “a more perfect union,” we must treat each other with respect and dignity. We should celebrate our differences while acknowledging what we have in common.

Paulette Williams
Georgia House District 10 – Northeast Georgia
I am a long-time Rabun County resident who advocates for all my Northeast Georgia neighbors. As a US Army Veteran, I can see that our Democracy is at stake.
Small rural areas like Northeast Georiga can make a difference in the State Senate. State legislatures all over the country are restricting the right to vote, a woman’s right to privacy, and the right to the healthcare we paid for with our tax dollars. We need strong leadership to keep our schools open, Main Street thriving, hospitals from shutting down, and opportunities alive with full broadband.
The Governor and Legislature are letting rural hospitals close throughout the state because they refuse to accept the $3.5 billion dollars annually. Vote Paulette to make sure you get the healthcare coverage and hospitals your tax dollars already paid for.
Georgia is #1 for business, yet we were ranked 49th in healthcare and 30th in education.. These numbers can’t improve in rural areas without modern broadband. Last year, Democrats passed a bill that sets aside $65 billion for Broadband Equity. Vote Paulette to make sure you get your share.
I will listen to other points of view, break through the partisanship, and work across the aisle to pass legislation to address our biggest challenges.
Please contribute to help us share this message of opportunity with our friends and neighbors.
Thank you, Paulette

Charlotte Sleczkowski
State House District 8
Hi! I’m Charlotte Sleczkowski, and I’m running for the office of Georgia House District 8, where I have lived for nearly two decades.
I am a lifelong advocate for the education of all families, including those with special needs and need support for mental health.
I am also fighting for a woman’s right to make personal choices regarding her health and to restore this autonomy as it has been for the last half-century.
I have been working actively with organizations that seek to preserve our freedoms and groups that advance the importance of education as a means to better lives.
Let’s improve our broken rural healthcare system instead of banning a 50-year right to reproductive health.
Pregnancy is a nuanced and complex medical situation. Having a child can carry a number of risks to the mother, and our Legislature’s ban is making Georgia an unsafe place to start a family.
When women are forced to carry non-viable pregnancies to term, the risk of serious medical complications skyrockets.
When victims of unspeakable crimes are not allowed to regain control of their bodies, they can face life-long and devastating psychological consequences.
We need to focus on improving healthcare outcomes. Too many of our friends and neighbors lack health insurance, jeopardizing their well-being and raising healthcare costs.
I will fight to bring millions of dollars into Georgia’s economy by accepting Federal Medicaid funds to save our rural hospitals and give working families more healthcare options.

YES, IT’S TIME TO BURY THAT HATCHETT.
Here’s why: In a recent four-month period, my opponent, Bo Hatchett collected more than:
- $10,000 from healthcare businesses and PACs
- $30,000 from lawyers, law firms, and legal PACs.
- $50,000 from PACs for gambling companies, contractors who build government buildings, and right-wing PACs.
WHAT DID DISTRICT 50 GET? NOTHING.
Let’s work together to bury Bo Hatchett and put a woman in charge!

“MY WIFE DID IT.”
By now, you’ve heard Supreme Court Justice Alito’s official excuse: “MY WIFE DID IT.”
Yeah right.
Blaming your wife for flying the insurrection flag over your home only compounds the crime: Nullifying 50 years of settled law to force women to pay the price with their bodies. Including:
- DENYING life-saving medical care for hypertension, ectopic pregnancies, hemorrhaging, and other complications.
- REQUIRING women to leave the state for reproductive care (if they can afford it).
- FORCING a woman to carry a fetus to term (even 13-year-old rape victims).
- PUTTING the government in charge of family planning decisions
Alito authored the Dobbs decision, but the GEORGIA LEGISLATURE wrote the bill.
THE FAB FOUR is running for office in Northeast Georgia to proudly fly the flag of America’s inalienable rights. We will protect the rights of women, the elderly, and families.

VISIONS OF ABSOLUTE POWER. Are you ready for a King?
TIME MAGAZINE: 4/24/24: “To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland.
He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers.
He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding.
He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury.
He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.
