I’ve worked on the frontlines of violence prevention, youth development, and community stabilization—not from behind a desk, but alongside families, young people, and local leaders.When gun violence touches your community, when opportunity feels out of reach, when systems fail—that’s not abstract policy. That’s real life. And that’s where I’ve spent my career.

<h2>Our Campaign’s Top Priorities</h2>

Priorities

I’m Kenn Collier — a father, founder, and community leader who has spent his life building opportunity in District 62. South Atlanta, East Point, and College Park aren’t just places on a map to me. It's where I've built organizations, created jobs, mentored young people, and stood with families during some of their hardest moments. I’ve experienced both the promise and the pain in our communities — including losing my only son and his mother to gun violence. That loss didn’t break me. It strengthened my commitment to prevention, accountability, and safer communities.As a graduate of Atlanta Metropolitan State College, I understand how access to education and real opportunity can change the trajectory of a life.I’m running for Georgia State House because District 62 deserves leadership that shows up, listens, and works — before crisis, not after.I believe in safer neighborhoods, real pathways for our youth, stable housing for long-time residents, local jobs that create lasting security, and healthcare access that strengthens families.This isn’t about politics. It’s about people.

Terms and Conditions

OPT IN

Too many young people are told to “plan for the future” without clear, paid pathways to get there. While Georgia’s graduation rate has climbed to 87.2%, too many students still graduate without meaningful exposure to careers, income-earning opportunities, or real-world experience.We know what works. Students who participate in Georgia’s Career, Technical, and Agricultural Education (CTAE) programs graduate at a rate of 98.45%—proof that when education connects to opportunity, outcomes improve.My focus is simple: make opportunity visible, accessible, and paid.Georgia already has building blocks like dual enrollment, career pathways, and apprenticeships. I will strengthen and modernize them so every student graduates with a plan, a pathway, and proof of skills.Core belief: Opportunity should be visible, accessible, and attainable for every young person.<h5>Key Policy Priorities:</h5>The Paid Pathways Guarantee<ul><li>Ensure every student has access to at least one paid, career-connected learning experience before graduation by expanding internships, youth apprenticeships, and pre-apprenticeship programs.</li><li>Paid experience builds confidence, income, and direction. It should not depend on family connections.</li></ul>AI &amp; Digital Readiness<ul><li>Prepare students for the digital economy by integrating practical AI literacy, cybersecurity basics, data skills, and digital workforce readiness into middle and high school career pathways.</li><li>AI and automation are reshaping the workforce. Georgia students must be prepared—not displaced.</li></ul>Skills Passport (Career Readiness Transcript)<ul><li>Establish a standardized “Skills Passport” that documents certifications, work-based learning hours, apprenticeships, and job-readiness milestones alongside academic transcripts—so students graduate with proof of what they can do.</li><li>This levels the playing field and strengthens hiring transparency.</li></ul>Modern Trades 2.0<ul><li>Modernize Career and Technical Education to align with Georgia’s high-demand and emerging industries, including:<ul><li>Advanced manufacturing</li><li>Clean energy and infrastructure</li><li>Logistics technology</li><li>Healthcare careers</li><li>Construction and skilled trades</li></ul></li><li>Georgia’s High Demand Career framework already exists. We must ensure funding, equipment, and instruction keep pace with the industries driving our economy.</li></ul>Dual Enrollment Without Barriers<ul><li>Strengthen and stabilize dual enrollment so cost, transportation, scheduling, and advising are never barriers to earning college or technical credentials while in high school.</li><li>Dual enrollment works. Access must be equitable and sustainable statewide.</li></ul><h4>Statewide Impact</h4>By expanding paid pathways, modernizing trades, integrating AI readiness, and removing barriers to dual enrollment, Georgia can:<ul><li>Reduce dropout risk</li><li>Strengthen workforce competitiveness</li><li>Address labor shortages</li><li>Improve economic mobility</li><li>Ensure young people graduate prepared to earn, learn, and lead</li><li>If we want Georgia to remain competitive, we must invest in clear, paid, and future-ready pathways for our young people today.</li></ul>

Kenn Collier’s youth pathways plan expands paid internships, career access, and education-to-work pipelines for Georgia’s young people.

Youth Career Pathways in Georgia | Kenn Collier

Education should lead somewhere. I’ll fight for clear pathways from our classrooms to careers—through apprenticeships, workforce training, and partnerships that prepare our young people for the jobs of today and tomorrow.

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>Youth Pathways &amp; Career Access</h2>

<h5>Prevention. Mental Health. Sustainable Funding.</h5>Healthcare is not just about treating illness — it’s about preventing crisis, addressing trauma, and supporting mental health before problems escalate.Georgia has made progress in expanding access and reforming behavioral health systems. But too many families still struggle to access affordable mental health services, especially in underserved communities. Long wait times, provider shortages, and uneven access continue to strain families and schools.My focus is simple: expand access to mental health care, strengthen preventive services, and create sustainable funding for community-based trauma and violence intervention.Core belief: Mental health care is essential to family stability and community safety.<h5>Where the Gap Is</h5>Georgia has invested in behavioral health reform, but:<ul><li>Mental health provider shortages remain significant.</li><li>Access to child and adolescent mental health services is limited in many communities.</li><li>Trauma-informed services are not consistently integrated across systems.</li><li>Community Violence Intervention (CVI) programs rely heavily on short-term grants rather than sustainable funding.</li><li>Violence is often treated only as a criminal issue, not a mental and public health issue.</li></ul>We must align healthcare funding with prevention and mental wellness.<h5>Key Policy Priorities:</h5>Expand Mental Health Access<ul><li>Increase access to affordable mental health services by:<ul><li>Strengthening school-based mental health partnerships</li><li>Expanding community-based counseling access</li><li>Supporting telehealth expansion</li><li>Reducing administrative barriers to care</li></ul></li><li>Mental health support should be timely and accessible.Expand access to affordable healthcare coverage, including strengthening pathways to Medicaid coverage and reducing barriers to care.</li></ul>Make Community Violence Intervention (CVI) Billable<ul><li>Advance a Medicaid State Plan Amendment to reimburse certified Community Violence Intervention services.</li><li>This would:<ul><li>Establish a Violence Prevention Professional certification</li><li>Allow trained CVI workers to bill Medicaid for mediation, trauma response, and victim stabilization services</li><li>Provide sustainable funding for prevention instead of relying on grants</li></ul></li><li>Violence prevention is mental health and public health work.</li></ul>Expand Trauma Recovery Centers<ul><li>Support the development and expansion of Trauma Recovery Centers that provide:<ul><li>Long-term counseling</li><li>Crisis response</li><li>Case management</li><li>Victim stabilization</li></ul></li><li>Healing reduces repeat harm and long-term system costs.</li></ul>Strengthen the Mental Health Workforce<ul><li>Expand training pipelines for:<ul><li>Licensed counselors</li><li>Behavioral health specialists</li><li>Community health workers</li><li>Trauma-informed care providers</li></ul></li><li>Workforce shortages must be addressed to improve access statewide.</li></ul><h5>Statewide Impact</h5>By expanding mental health access, professionalizing community-based prevention, and aligning funding with early intervention, Georgia can:<ul><li>Reduce repeat violence</li><li>Lower emergency room and crisis costs</li><li>Improve school and workforce participation</li><li>Strengthen families and communities</li></ul>Healthy communities are safer communities.

Kenn Collier’s healthcare plan expands access to mental and behavioral health support so families get care before crisis hits.

Mental & Behavioral Health Access | Kenn Collier

No family should wait until a crisis to get care. I’ll push for expanded access to affordable healthcare and mental health services—because healthy communities are stronger communities.

<h2>Healthcare, Mental Health &amp; Community Wellness</h2>

Students learn best when they feel safe, supported, and understoodDistrict 62 includes schools serving students who are navigating trauma from violence, loss, housing instability, and unmet mental health needs. Too many students carry grief, trauma, and stress into the classroom without the support they need to succeed. When schools respond to trauma with punishment instead of care, learning suffers and students fall behind.As a father who has lost a child and a community leader who has built real healing programs, I support a trauma-informed, healing-centered approach to education that helps students heal, supports educators, and keeps schools focused on learning.This is not just a district issue—it is a Georgia issue. Students across our state are carrying trauma into classrooms every day, and schools need the tools and resources to respond effectively.Core belief: Schools should respond to trauma with care, not punishment.<h4>Key Policy Priorities:</h4><ul><li>Improve counselor-to-student ratios: Invest in more school counselors, social workers, and mental health professionals so students receive timely access to support.</li><li>Trauma-informed training for school staff: Provide statewide training for teachers, administrators, and support staff in trauma-informed practices, de-escalation, and restorative approaches.</li><li>Individualized Healing Plans (IHPs) with a 48-hour response: Establish Individualized Healing Plans (IHPs)—short-term, supportive plans similar to IEPs—for students returning after serious trauma, violence, loss or grief. Schools would initiate an IHP within 48 hours of a student’s return to ensure timely counseling, academic flexibility, and family engagement.</li><li>Reduce punitive discipline, expand restorative supports: Prioritize restorative practices that address root causes of behavior and keep students engaged in learning.</li></ul><h4>Statewide Impact</h4>Trauma-informed schools with IHPs improve attendance, reduce suspensions, support educators, and help students succeed academically and emotionally across Georgia.

Kenn Collier supports trauma-informed, healing-centered schools that help students succeed by addressing trauma, behavior, and emotional health.

Trauma-Informed Schools in Georgia | Kenn Collier

Write a little something about your issue here. You can only write about a paragraph here, but you can turn on an option to create full issues pages on the options sidebar of the issues page.

<h2>Trauma-Informed, Healing-Centered Schools</h2>

<h5>Prevention, healing, and opportunity for safer communities</h5>Public safety isn’t just about enforcement—it’s about reducing harm before it happens, investing in healing, and supporting the people closest to the work of keeping our neighborhoods safe. I support community-based safety strategies that build trust, prevent violence, and empower residents with real pathways to opportunity and stability.What we build in District 62 can serve as a model for safer communities across Georgia.<h4>Key Policy Priorities:</h4><ul><li>Professionalize violence prevention with the “Billable Peace” model: Establish a Violence Prevention Professional (VPP) certification and expand Georgia Medicaid to reimburse community violence intervention services so trained professionals and organizations can bill for conflict mediation, victim support, and prevention work.</li><li>Expand Trauma Recovery Centers: Invest in community-based trauma recovery centers that provide long-term counseling, crisis advocacy, case management, and stabilization supports for survivors of violence and their families—not just hospital emergency services.</li><li>Ensure safe housing and landlord accountability: Set basic security standards for multi-family housing, increase transparency for renters, and oppose laws that shield negligent landlords from responsibility when preventable harm occurs.</li><li>Strengthen crisis response alternatives: Build out trauma-informed, non-law-enforcement crisis response systems for situations where behavioral health approaches keep communities safer.</li><li>Support community-led, data-driven safety strategies: Empower local residents, nonprofits, and leaders to develop safety plans, measure outcomes, and coordinate across public health, housing, and workforce systems to reduce violence sustainably.</li></ul><h4>Core Belief: </h4>True safety comes from prevention, healing, and accountability.<h4>Statewide Impact::</h4>Investing in prevention, trauma recovery, and community leadership leads to safer neighborhoods, lower costs, and better outcomes for communities statewide.

Kenn Collier’s violence prevention plan prioritizes community safety, early intervention, and support for victims to keep Georgia neighborhoods safe.

Violence Prevention & Public Safety | Kenn Collier

Safety starts before a crisis. With years of experience working on the front lines of violence prevention, I’ll champion proven strategies that invest in prevention, mental health, and community-based solutions that actually work.

<h2>Community-Based Safety &amp; Violence Prevention</h2>

District 62 has experienced growth, but too often that growth has come with rising rents, higher property taxes, and housing instability that push long-time residents, seniors, and working families to the edge. For too many people, staying in the community they call home has become harder every year.As a State Representative, I will fight for housing policies that protect long-time residents, expand affordable housing options, and ensure growth does not come at the cost of displacement. Housing should provide stability—not uncertainty—for the people who already live here.This is not just a district issue—it is a Georgia issue. When families are forced out of their homes, communities lose stability, schools lose students, workers face longer commutes, and opportunity stops reaching home.Core belief: Growth should not force families out of the communities they helped build.Key Policy Priorities:<ul><li>Fight for state budget and tax policies that protect long-time homeowners and seniors from being priced out by rising property taxes.</li><li>Expand state investment in affordable and mixed-income housing so working families have real options close to jobs, schools, and services.</li><li>Support housing stabilization programs such as home repair assistance, foreclosure prevention, and down-payment support for first-time homebuyers.</li><li>Give local governments better state-level tools and incentives to preserve affordability as neighborhoods grow and change.</li><li>Strengthen access to housing support services that help renters and homeowners remain housed during financial hardship.</li></ul>Statewide Impact:By keeping families housed and communities stable, Georgia can strengthen neighborhoods, support workforce participation, protect seniors, and ensure economic growth benefits the people who already call our communities home.

Kenn Collier supports housing stability policies that protect long-time residents, seniors, and families from displacement in Georgia.

Housing Stability in Georgia | Kenn Collier

Growth should not mean displacement. I’ll work to protect seniors, renters, and long-time homeowners so families who built our communities can afford to stay in them.

<h2>Affordable Housing &amp; Homeownership</h2>

District 62 sits near major job centers, yet too many residents are working full time and still struggling to make ends meet. Rising housing, transportation, and everyday costs have outpaced wages, leaving families without the stability that work should provide.As a State Representative, I will fight for state budget and economic policies that strengthen wages, expand workforce pathways, and ensure economic growth translates into real stability for the people who live here—while supporting the local businesses that power our communities.This is not just a district issue—it is a Georgia issue. When workers can’t get ahead and local businesses struggle to compete, opportunity fails to reach home.Core belief: Strong local businesses and strong wages go hand in hand.<h5>Where the Gap Is</h5>Georgia has strong economic development tools, including job tax credits, workforce boards, apprenticeship incentives, and the High Demand Career List. Yet gaps remain:<ul><li>Economic incentives do not always guarantee measurable local hiring outcomes.</li><li>Workforce programs are not always aligned fast enough with emerging industries.</li><li>Apprenticeship and training access varies by district and school capacity.</li><li>Residents often lack clear navigation into higher-wage industries.</li></ul>Unemployment rates may be low statewide, but access to high-wage opportunity is not evenly distributed.We can build on what exists — and make it deliver more effectively.<h5>Key Policy Pillars</h5>High-Demand Skills AlignmentStrengthen coordination between schools, technical colleges, workforce boards, and employers so training programs reflect Georgia’s fastest-growing sectors, including:<ul><li>Advanced manufacturing</li><li>Logistics and supply chain</li><li>Clean energy and infrastructure</li><li>Healthcare</li><li>Skilled trades and construction</li></ul>When industries grow, training pipelines must grow with them.Paid Pathways into Local IndustriesExpand paid apprenticeships, internships, and work-based learning programs that connect residents directly to employers in high-demand sectors.Wage growth begins with paid experience and skill development — not just entry-level placement.Infrastructure-to-Employment StrategyWhen Georgia invests in infrastructure, transportation, and public projects, local residents should be first in line for apprenticeship and workforce opportunities tied to those projects.Public investment should generate public opportunity.Workforce Navigation &amp; Re-Entry AccessStrengthen workforce navigation services that help residents — including justice-impacted individuals — connect to certifications, apprenticeships, and stable employment.Employment is one of the strongest drivers of public safety and community stability.Local Hiring TransparencyRequire clearer public reporting from companies receiving state economic incentives to ensure transparency around:<ul><li>Hiring outcomes</li><li>Workforce partnerships</li><li>Wage levels tied to incentives</li></ul>Economic development should be measurable, transparent, and accountable to communities.<h5>Statewide Impact</h5>By aligning economic development with workforce training, expanding paid pathways, and prioritizing high-demand industries, Georgia can:<ul><li>Strengthen wage growth</li><li>Reduce income gaps</li><li>Address labor shortages</li><li>Increase long-term tax stability</li><li>Ensure growth benefits families across the state</li></ul>If we want lasting stability, we must move beyond job counts and focus on skill development, wage growth, and real upward mobility.

Good Jobs & Wages in Georgia House District 62 | Kenn Collier

Our district sits next to major economic engines, but too many families are still locked out of stable, well-paying work. I’m focused on connecting residents to jobs that build long-term stability—not just short-term opportunity.
