Married to Medicine star Dr. Heavenly Kimes is branching out from her dental practice and reality TV fame to enter the political arena. She is running for the position of Georgia state representative for District 93 as a Democrat, a decision she shared with PEOPLE.
“I’m not a career politician,” Kimes stated, highlighting her background as a mother, doctor, and business owner. She emphasized her commitment to service and readiness to advocate for her community’s needs. Kimes has announced a campaign kickoff event scheduled for a Tuesday outside the state capitol in downtown Atlanta. She is inviting potential voters to join her and meet not only her fellow cast members from Married to Medicine but also surprise guests from popular shows such as Love & Hip Hop and The Real Housewives of Atlanta.
In her campaign, Kimes has outlined several key priorities, including access to healthcare, education reform, support for small businesses, and driving economic prosperity in her district. “I’ve spent my life helping people build confidence, start businesses, and take control of their futures,” Kimes said. She believes that District 93 deserves a representative who is both action-oriented and deeply aware of their struggles. With her experience in the medical field and personal commitment to health advocacy, she aims to bring a fresh perspective to state politics.
Her Married to Medicine co-star Quad Webb will be managing her campaign, bringing additional visibility to her efforts. Kimes has been a prominent figure on the reality show since its second season in 2014 and is married to Dr. Damon Kimes, to whom she has been wed since 1997.
Kimes’ transition from reality television to politics could resonate with a broader audience, showcasing how individuals from various backgrounds can step into public service. Her commitment to healthcare and education reform aligns with increasing calls for accessible services and representation in government. The excitement of her campaign kickoff offers hope for engaging discussions about these critical issues in Georgia.
