Kevin is a fifth-generation native of Cobb County. His mother grew up off Bolton Road, his father in Center Hill, out along Bankhead Highway. His family has been in this stretch of Georgia for generations, and he has lived here his whole life.

Kevin's father spent 42 years at Atlanta Gaslight as a crew foreman. His mother spent 35 years at BellSouth and worked her way up to first-level supervisor. The four of them lived in a two-bedroom, one-bath house under 1,500 square feet. His parents gave him and his brother what they needed rather than what they wanted, and told them the way out was a better education than they had gotten. Kevin started cutting grass at nine years old, because if he wanted a bicycle he was going to buy the bicycle.

Kevin doesn't blame anyone except the members of Congress who do nothing. Congress is elected to solve problems and talk through hard things. Sound bites are not a substitute for good government.

So young families stopped moving in. Nobody moves their kids somewhere the schools are struggling. Kids who grow up here finish school and leave. The ones under forty who stay are largely the ones who can't afford to move out of their parents' house.

Stop writing curriculum from Washington. Congress and the Department of Education should not be determining what gets taught in a Georgia classroom. That authority belongs to the state and the local district.

Make federal payment reflect what rural and low-volume care actually costs. A community hospital cannot generate urban patient volume, and no amount of local effort changes that. If federal reimbursement formulas are going to be the deciding factor, they have to account for it honestly, or Congress should stop pretending it isn't making the decision.

He isn't absolutist about it. He supports keeping guns away from felons and from people who have shown they're a danger to others. He understands why a firearm is traceable back to its original owner — if a stolen gun turns up at a crime scene, somebody has to be able to follow it back.

Make federal aid work for the trades. If federal student aid is going to exist, it should be usable for shorter technical and certification programs that lead directly to a job, not only for multi-year degrees. That is a change to eligibility rules, and it is Congress that writes them.

Open federal land for people to build on. This country has done this before, in the 1800s, when the federal government made land available to people willing to go build something on it. There is federal land sitting unused today. Congress can decide to make it available for housing, with incentives for individuals rather than only large developers. More supply is the most direct way to bring prices down.

Stop paying more than everyone else. If other developed countries pay a lower price for the same medication, that should be the ceiling for what the federal government pays. There is no defensible reason American taxpayers and patients subsidize the rest of the world's prescription costs.

Enforce antitrust against regional medical monopolies. When a region is down to two systems that own the hospitals, the practices, and increasingly the insurance, there is no market left to discipline the price or protect the service. Kevin's position from the start has been that this is a federal responsibility.

Fund law enforcement properly, and stop treating it as a bargaining chip. Departments in this district need equipment, training, and the people to do the work. That funding shouldn't be hostage to whatever fight Washington is having that month.

The federal minimum wage has to clear the cost of living, and keep pace. A full-time wage should put a person above poverty — able to cover basic housing, food, and transportation. If it doesn't move with inflation, people fall behind every year while being told their pay went up.

Congress also funds and writes the rules for every major federal program that supports working families who still come up short — food assistance, housing assistance, and the tax credits that go to people with earned income.

An officer does the work, makes the arrest, files the case. Then the person is back on the street within days. Everybody in law enforcement has watched it happen. Sometimes it ends the way you'd fear: someone released after a domestic violence arrest, and the next call to that address is a homicide.

Ask anyone under thirty-five in this district about buying a house and you'll hear the same three things: the down payment is out of reach, the interest rate makes the monthly payment impossible, and nobody ever explained how to get their credit into shape.

Federal policy sets the terms of nearly every mortgage in the country. The federal government backs, guarantees, or insures the majority of home loans, and federal rules determine who qualifies, what a lender may offer, and on what terms. Federal law also governs how credit gets reported and scored in the first place.

The federal government is the largest purchaser of prescription drugs in the country through Medicare and Medicaid, and Congress sets the terms of that purchasing. Congress writes patent and exclusivity law, which determines how long a drug stays free of competition. It controls the FDA's approval pathway for generics and biosimilars. It sets trade and tax policy that determines where manufacturing happens.

Send federal education money to states and local districts with fewer federal conditions, reduce federal education bureaucracy, and keep curriculum decisions local.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Our Schools Stopped Being One School District
Send education money back to Georgia without the federal strings, and let this district raise up its lowest-performing schools rather than pulling down its best.
What needs to change
Send the money back without the strings. Congress can pass education funding through to states and localities without dictating how it gets used. The people who live in a community understand what their children need better than a federal office does, and they answer to the families they affect.
"All funding for education should be maintained and kept at the state and local levels where they are better apt to serve our children in our own community." — Kevin Martin
Stop writing curriculum from Washington. Congress and the Department of Education should not be determining what gets taught in a Georgia classroom. That authority belongs to the state and the local district.
Shrink the federal education bureaucracy. Kevin's position is that the Department of Education has grown into an expense that produces compliance work rather than better outcomes. The dollars currently consumed administering federal requirements would do more good in the classrooms themselves.
Then let this district solve its own problem. Once the money and the authority are back here, the work is local: find out what's actually wrong in the schools that are struggling, fix it, and bring in the community, churches, local businesses, and families to help. The goal is to raise the bottom, not lower the top.
Make federal student aid usable for shorter technical and certification programs and expand federal support for career-technical education and apprenticeships.

Jobs and the Trades
Pass a regular-order federal budget, fund core obligations first, and require other programs to justify continued appropriations.

The Federal Budget
Open unused federal land for housing, consider alternative mortgage structures, preserve prudent lending standards, and reduce federal barriers that make homeownership harder.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Young People Can't Buy a House Here Anymore
Open unused federal land for people to build on, give mortgage terms a real hearing, and keep lending standards honest so we do not repeat the 2000s.
What needs to change
Open federal land for people to build on. This country has done this before, in the 1800s, when the federal government made land available to people willing to go build something on it. There is federal land sitting unused today. Congress can decide to make it available for housing, with incentives for individuals rather than only large developers. More supply is the most direct way to bring prices down.
Look seriously at mortgage terms. Congress, working with Treasury and the Federal Reserve, sets the framework for what home financing can look like. If a thirty-year note no longer puts a house within reach of a young family, the question of what other structures could work deserves a real hearing rather than a shrug.
Keep lending standards honest. We watched what happened in the 2000s when people were approved for loans they could never carry, got locked into adjustable rates, and lost their homes when those rates moved. Federal underwriting rules are what allowed that. Making credit easier is not the same as making housing affordable, and Congress should not repeat it.
Teach young people how credit actually works. Personal finance used to be taught in high school. It largely isn't anymore, in part because so much classroom time is now committed to federally driven requirements. Kevin's view is that this is another argument for pulling federal mandates back and letting local districts teach what young people actually need.
Raise the federal wage floor so full-time work clears basic living costs and adjust it for inflation while preserving meaningful wage progression for added skill and responsibility.

Wages and Working Families
Cap federal drug purchasing at prices comparable to other developed countries, bring critical drug manufacturing back to the United States, and use antitrust policy to separate concentrated insurer-provider-pharmacy arrangements.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Prescription Drug Costs
Adjust federal reimbursement so low-volume community hospitals are paid closer to the actual cost of care and use antitrust enforcement against regional healthcare consolidation that threatens local hospitals.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
If the Hospital Closes, the Ambulance Ride Gets Longer
Make federal payment reflect what low-volume community care actually costs, and enforce antitrust against the regional medical monopolies closing these hospitals.
What needs to change
Make federal payment reflect what rural and low-volume care actually costs. A community hospital cannot generate urban patient volume, and no amount of local effort changes that. If federal reimbursement formulas are going to be the deciding factor, they have to account for it honestly, or Congress should stop pretending it isn't making the decision.

Fund law enforcement, tighten federal pretrial-release standards for people with violent histories, and support judges who apply statutes as written.

Crime and Policing
Oppose a national gun registry, preserve firearm access for law-abiding adults, and focus federal restrictions on felons and people shown to be dangerous.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
The Same Constitution That Protects Everything Else Protects This
Keep federal law focused on people who have actually done something, no national gun registry, and apply the Constitution consistently across every right it protects.
What needs to change
Keep federal law focused on people who have actually done something. Felons and people who have demonstrated they're a threat: keep them from buying firearms. A citizen with a clean record and no history of instability shouldn't be treated as a suspect.
No national gun registry. Traceability from the point of sale is one thing, and Kevin accepts it. A federal roster of who owns what is a different thing, and he opposes it.
Be honest about red flag laws. Kevin's concern is abuse — a process that can strip a constitutional right from someone who hasn't been convicted of anything is a process that will eventually be used badly. Any such law has to clear a high bar for due process, and most of the proposals haven't.
Set measurable military-readiness and inventory benchmarks, automatically replenish critical supplies when they fall below those levels, and audit defense spending before approving additional funds.
The text below is the exact source material used for this statement.
Know What We Have Before We Write the Check
Start with the inventory, not the check. Set a real readiness benchmark, require replenishment when we fall below it, and audit defense like every other line.
What needs to change
Set a real benchmark. Establish the minimum level of supply and readiness required to defend the country, and write it down as a number rather than a feeling.
Put a replenishment requirement in the budget. If we fall below that benchmark — through a conflict, through consumption, through age — funding to get back to it should be automatic, not a fight every year.
"If we drop below it, then there should be a provision in the budget that states we must elevate back up to that benchmark that's been established." — Kevin Martin
No open checkbook. Defense gets funded first, and it gets audited like everything else. Those two things are not in conflict, and Kevin doesn't accept that supporting the military means never asking where the money went.
Public-record research limitation
This does not mean the candidate has no prior public service or record. A record attaches only after authoritative office history and a stable provider identity are established; names, titles, attendance, sponsorship, and inferred responsibility are insufficient.
