Good afternoon everyone just wanted to post the pictures from last night’s PFAS screening in conjunction with F.A.M, Whitifield County Rural Organization , Healthier Georgia, Healthier Families and Postell for the People, thank you as well to Brad Broome and Tom Causby.

Lastly, thank you as well to Bre Curtis from Healthier Georgia, Healthier Families and Kristie Miner two individuals who are very proud and strong and educated Republican woman who worked hand-and-foot with me in this effort to truly bring to Northwest Georgia bipartisanship representation across the political spectrum and tackling PFAS!

Whitfield County (No NDAs, NO Moratoriums)
City of Dalton (No NDAs, No Moratoriums)

Let the record show as of (8/17/26)

I want to talk about something that I believe deserves more attention in Georgia, and that is childhood cancer. I have been working with Healthier Georgia, Healthier Families for a few months now cross examine studies and heat maps over this paticular subject and with their help and guidance in this writting we’ve came to this post.

The reason I am bringing this forward is not because I believe we have already proven what is causing childhood cancer in our communities.

It is because we believe we are seeing enough information to justify asking better questions.

The National Cancer Institute’s State Cancer Profiles shows that from 2018 through 2022, Georgia’s childhood cancer incidence rate for children under 20 was 16.2 cases per 100,000.

Whitfield County was 22.2.

Whitfield ranked fourth among Georgia counties, and its recent trend was classified as rising.

Those numbers alone do not prove an environmental cause. Childhood cancer is rare, and county statistics have limitations.

But they should make us ask why.

A Georgia study published in the Journal of the Georgia Public Health Association said that limited research had been conducted on childhood cancer incidence in Georgia. Researchers found geographic differences, including higher incidence in north Georgia, and called for further research into potential risk factors.

More than a decade later, I think we should be asking whether we have done enough.

We also know that children are not simply small adults.

The EPA says children can be more sensitive to chemicals because their bodies are still developing. They breathe, eat, and drink more relative to their body weight, and they experience unique windows of susceptibility during development.

The National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences explains that during periods of rapid growth and development, environmental chemicals can disrupt normal biological processes.

That matters when we are talking about PFAS.

PFAS are persistent chemicals that have been detected in our environment and in human blood. We know some PFAS are associated with serious health effects, but we also know that thousands of PFAS exist and many remain poorly studied.

And researchers are beginning to examine the connection between early-life PFAS exposure and childhood disease more closely.

The National Cancer Institute has reported research finding an association between prenatal exposure to certain PFAS and childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Again, that does not prove that PFAS causes childhood cancer.

But it absolutely tells us that the question is scientifically legitimate.

So I want to ask a simple question.

Have we studied the children?

If we have communities with elevated childhood cancer rates and known environmental concerns, shouldn’t we know whether the children living there have different levels of PFAS in their bodies than children living elsewhere?

Why not conduct biomonitoring?

Why not compare communities?

Why not look at prenatal and early-life exposures?

Why not examine drinking water, environmental pathways, and other potential risk factors?

And why not do it scientifically, without deciding the answer before the research begins?

If the research shows there is no relationship, then we have learned something valuable.

But if children in these communities have substantially higher exposures, then we have learned something else that deserves attention.

Every child diagnosed with cancer is more than a statistic.

There is a child behind that number.

There is a mother and father.

There are siblings.

There are grandparents.

There are teachers and friends.

There is a family whose life changes the moment they hear the word cancer.

When we talk about protecting children, I believe we have an obligation to investigate reasonable environmental questions before we dismiss them.

We should not have to prove that an exposure caused a disease before we are willing to study whether there is a connection.

We should be looking upstream.

We should be asking what our children are exposed to.

We should be asking whether some exposures are preventable.

And we should be asking whether childhood cancer prevention can begin with understanding the environments where our children are growing up.

Our children deserve more than statistics. They deserve answers.

Thank you.

All studies and links we’ll be provided in the comment section.

Once again thank you Bre Curtis for this help, and gathering all the data for this. You and your teams work DOES NOT go unnoticed in Dalton, Georgia,

Whitfield county is the only county in NWGA without a moratorium

Rest on Facebook!

Just remember in November. When you’re casting your ballot. Do you want the 8yr incumbent who is PRO AI and a LITERAL Climate Change denying Elected Official…

Or do you want fresh eye and new blood who KNOWS that

Socialism = Socioeconomic Class Ideology”

Climate Change =“Geographical Phenomena”

The choice is yours. 93 days.

Good Afternoon. 💙

Honored to have the endorsement from Barrack Obamas Attorney General Eric H. Holder!

This very prestigious and honorable, endorsement shows acknowledgment of I and my teams hard work and effort to Whitfield County, City of Dalton.

The Nation as well as the National Democratic Party has ITS EYES ON DALTON.

A NEW ERA will be born November ‘26!

National Democratic Redistricting Committee

99 Days until Election Day in November.

Make sure you really ponder on the future of Whitfield County and the city of Dalton. What do you want your elected official to look like when it comes to issues on PFAS AI Centers, Immigration Reform and just the overall safety and progression for District 4!

People before Profits #postellforthepeople

Postell : If they want them, put it in their back yards.

Kasey :”“Making sure as your negotiating deals , stuff if not 100% disclosed or it’ll be used against you in negotiations from other communities.”

See y’all in November. 🗳️

Present with the community last night to address our concerns and issues with the AI Center being secretly prepared off Vally Point , which is a 90 Acre lot being cleared AS WE SPEAK.

Whether Whitfield council men want to acknowledge it or not it will be brought to their attention either in a NDA from AI conglomerates or us the Whitfield Citizens.

I just hope they uphold the contract they have to us before they sign the new one coming their way.

I and my Team will be present, alongside the REST of the Dalton community! Please come attend!

Yea I’m gonna NEED to see the recipet on these tickets cause ain’t no way he’s not using his platform and officials status to sell tickets for 1.4k

His positions salary is 20,000$ a YEAR so he’s literally 500$ from this “purchase” being 1/10 of his salary.

I NEED to make sure he’s breaking even on this transaction.

Let alone I’ve heard rumors of this *him selling UGA Football tickets for profit.

BUT TO NOW SEE him doing it DURING IS CAMPAIGN IS WILD. And 1.4k WOW.

Now that June is coming to an end, I wanted to share some moments with you guys and my very proud lead woman team. I was able to take all the girls out for this event and earlier that morning we all went to a parade in which I joined with the Whitfield County Dems to give out candy to the kids and just assimilate with the community and cherish Juneteenth!

“Against kids getting free lunch but for himself getting
$1M in tax payer dollars for his hotel. Didn't he also receive up to $476k from Dalton Public School Board of Education and Whitfield County Commission to build the hotel?
So, almost $1.5M this guy has taken, as handouts but free lunch is just too much for kids.”
