deborah silcox is
out of touch and out of time.
Deborah Silcox has failed us time and time again.
Silcox’s record reveals a failed politician, stuck in the past and tied to Donald Trump's extreme, failed policies.
Silcox Failed to Stand up to Donald Trump
Not only did Silcox fail to stand up to Donald Trump, she sponsored a resolution commending his “Outstanding Accomplishments” and his “Integrity, Vision and Leadership.” On issue after issue, Silcox has demonstrated her lack of judgment and willingness to put loyalty to her party’s leaders ahead of the needs of her constituents.
Silcox Failed to Respect Voters
Silcox followed Donald Trump's lead in denying her 2020 election loss despite knowing there was no evidence of wrongdoing. Her baseless legal challenge wasted taxpayer money and time, dragging on for months before being dismissed. She served her opponent, Shea Roberts, at home — on Mother’s Day — with an outdated summons. Just like Trump, Silcox doesn’t respect voters and can’t accept reality.
Silcox Failed to Protect our Public Schools
Silcox voted for a voucher scam that pulls tax money from public schools to fund religious, for-profit and private institutions with zero accountability to taxpayers. Silcox undermined the effectiveness of our public education and workforce readiness.
Silcox Failed to lower prices
Even though Georgia families are struggling to access and pay for medical care, Silcox and her republican colleagues failed to expand Medicaid, a move that would have helped lower medical costs and kept Georgians’ healthcare tax dollars here at home instead of sending millions to other states.
Silcox Failed to Protect our reproductive rights
Despite being a member of the majority party, Silcox failed to stop Georgia’s Trump Abortion ban, which has already caused the death of at least one Georgia mother. Silcox even skipped a key committee meeting where her vote could have stopped this dangerous bill in its tracks. Georgia women just can’t trust Deborah Silcox to protect our freedom to make our own decisions about our bodies.*

Silcox Failed to
Enact Common Sense Gun Safety Laws
Silcox puts her “A” rating from the NRA ahead of children’s lives. She’s failed repeatedly to support legislation to require safe storage of guns, expand background checks and implement red flag laws.** As a result, it is now easier than ever for criminals to obtain guns and harder than ever for law enforcement to take illegal guns off the street. Silcox’s failure to lead has made our schools, our parks and neighborhoods less safe.
Silcox Failed to respect working mothers
In her 2022 campaign, Silcox said moms with school-age children shouldn’t serve in the Georgia General Assembly. This isn’t just sexist; it’s dangerous for the future of women in leadership. Deborah Silcox is leading women backward.
Silcox Failed to Protect Children in the Workplace
Silcox sponsored a bill that would have allowed 14-year-olds to work in dangerous factory jobs without a permit. When questioned about safety, she responded flippantly, showing just how disconnected she is from protecting our kids. Even her Republican colleagues rejected this absurd proposal.
