Jim Kingston
House · GA-1 · Republican
“A nation without borders is not a sovereign nation. President Trump is restoring order and I’m running for Congress to back him up. When it comes to protecting our border, the good fight is far from over. I support deploying more resources for border enforcement to crack down on cartels and traffickers, and a legal immigration policy that is merit-based and focused on safety and our nation’s interest.”
