Campaign themes
2016
Brown's campaign website highlighted the following issues:[1]
Job creation and economic development
- Excerpt: "As your State Representative, Janine Brown knows that people who work full time should not struggle to make ends meet. Let’s be sure tax breaks for relocating jobs to Georgia provide jobs for folk that need them and lift communities."
Public education
- Excerpt: "Instead of setting up a new layer of bureaucracy to improve our schools, the State of Georgia ought to work with the local boards of education to bring resources to the classrooms where they are the most needed."
Access to health care
- Excerpt: "Though Georgia’s rate of the uninsured declined slightly in 2014, we still have a long ways to go toward providing affordable health care to all. As your State Representative, Janine Brown will work everyday to increase access to health care to working and poor families."
Transportation
- Excerpt: "It is past time for the State of Georgia to pay its share for public transit in Metro Atlanta. Increasing the availability of public transit will serve as the engine for economic growth throughout Georgia."
Civil rights
- Excerpt: "Janine Brown’s support for the LGBT community extends directly from her faith. As a Christian woman, Janine could never imagine allowing the wholesale mistreatment of people without doing something to fight it."
