Dr. Heavenly Kimes for Congress | A New Voice for Georgia's 13th
We need more than a vote, we need a voice.
Why I'm Running
Just days before I announced for State House, I waited to hear something from my Congressman about the new economic bill — I did not. When the former President launched a retribution campaign against former allies, I hoped to hear my Congressman take a stand — I did not.
Thousands of Georgians have lost their jobs this year, and I expected to see leadership at a town hall to help families transition to new opportunities — I did not.
After hearing from community leaders urging me to run for Congress, I realized this: we need more than a vote, we need a voice. People are scared, but they also have hope — and they deserve someone willing to speak to both.
On the Issues
Access to Healthcare
Access to Healthcare
Access to Healthcare
As a doctor and local dentist, I've seen firsthand how rising premiums and out-of-pocket costs crush family budgets. In Congress, I will fight to lower the cost of prescription drugs, protect coverage for pre-existing conditions, and make sure every family in our district has access to the quality, affordable healthcare they deserve.
The Economy
Access to Healthcare
Access to Healthcare
As a small business owner, I know what it takes to create jobs and meet a payroll. Washington needs to do more to support our local entrepreneurs. I will champion policies that cut red tape, expand access to capital, and invest in our community to bring good-paying jobs and economic opportunity back to the 13th District.
Education
Criminal Justice Reform
Criminal Justice Reform
Every child in our district deserves a world-class education that prepares them for the future. As a mother, I'm committed to ensuring our public schools have the federal resources they need to succeed. I'll work to support our teachers, make college more affordable, and tackle the student debt crisis so that the next generation has every opportunity to thrive.

Criminal Justice Reform
A safe community and a fair justice system are the foundation of a thriving district. We need smart reforms that increase accountability and build trust between law enforcement and the communities they serve. I will be a voice for every family, fighting to protect our civil rights, secure our voting rights, and ensure justice is applied equally to all.

Constituent Cover Letter: Meet Dr. Heavenly Kimes
To the People of Georgia's 13th District,
My name is Dr. Heavenly Elaine Kimes, and I am applying for the job of your next Representative in the United States Congress.
My resume is linked, but the story is simple: I am not a career politician. I am a doctor, an entrepreneur, a wife, and a mother who has built a life and several businesses on a foundation of service, discipline, and a deep understanding of people.
As a proud double HBCU graduate of Florida A&M University (Go Rattlers!) and Meharry Medical College, I hold multiple board certifications, but my most important education came from you—my neighbors and patients. As a local dentist, I didn't just fix smiles; I provided the fresh start and confidence that comes with them. As a small business CEO, I learned that a successful practice is about more than just a business—it’s also about meeting payroll, creating jobs, and building a stronger community.
My husband, Dr. Damon Kimes, is also a physician. Our household is, and has always been, dedicated to the health and well-being of others. It is the core of who we are.
And yes, for the past decade, I have navigated one of the most demanding and high-pressure public environments imaginable. I have learned how to communicate with a national audience, how to stand firm in my convictions under intense scrutiny, and how to thrive when every word and action is being judged. Some may see that as a different world; I see it as the perfect training ground for the reality of Washington, D.C.
I am running for Congress because I believe it's time to hire someone with a proven track record of real-world results, not just political promises. I have the qualifications, I have the experience, and I have the strength to be the new voice you deserve.
I am ready to get to work.
Sincerely,
Dr. Heavenly
