2016

Bivins' campaign website highlighted the following issues:[5]

Local government collaboration

  • Excerpt: "There is a need for selfless, organic dialogue throughout the Southern Crescent between state legislators, county, city, and community leaders. My most critical priority is establishing deliberate and effective relationships with local leaders."

Economy/taxation

  • Excerpt: "We need increased economic development and fair taxation assessments statewide but more particular in Clayton and Henry counties."

Educational funding

  • Excerpt: "As a former member of the Board of Education, my fight for equity and resources in education will be fierce and paramount for Clayton and Henry County schools."

Criminal/juvenile justice/civil reform

  • Excerpt: "One of the most challenging is law enforcement training and the lowering of recidivism rates in juvenile justice. Many say its a societal issue, I feel it can be addressed in both federal and state reform. I also see a need to reform in our often forgotten civil justice systems."
