ATLANTA, GA — Dr. Heavenly Kimes, renowned cosmetic dentist, entrepreneur, and reality television star of Bravo’s Married to Medicine, officially launched her campaign for the Georgia House of Representatives this week, declaring her candidacy for House District 93.
Kimes, a longtime resident of Georgia and small business owner, held a vibrant kickoff rally on July 8 at the Georgia State Capitol, drawing a crowd of supporters, public figures, and fellow Bravo personalities. Her campaign merges her commitment to healthcare equity, education reform, and economic empowerment with a desire to bring relatable, service-oriented leadership to the legislature.
“I’m not a politician—I’m a doctor, a mother, and a businesswoman,” Kimes said during her announcement. “I’ve spent my life helping people smile, and now I’m ready to help our community thrive.”
From Dental Chair to Campaign Trail
Best known for her candid personality and successful dental practice in Metro Atlanta, Dr. Kimes is no stranger to building trust within the community. Beyond her television fame, she has mentored countless aspiring entrepreneurs through her Dr. Heavenly University platform and has spoken extensively about financial literacy, healthcare access, and women’s empowerment.
Her decision to enter the race for District 93—covering parts of Stone Mountain, Lithonia, Decatur, and Stonecrest—comes at a time when residents have voiced concerns over underfunded schools, small business closures, and healthcare disparities.
Kimes says her background uniquely qualifies her to tackle these challenges head-on.
“I understand the burden of student loans, the risks of opening a small business, and the lack of access so many people face when it comes to quality healthcare. We need common-sense legislation that reflects the reality of working families.”
A Campaign Built on Real-Life Issues
Dr. Kimes’ platform focuses on four key priorities:
Affordable, Accessible Healthcare: Drawing from her medical background, Kimes supports expanded community health programs and preventive care initiatives.
Education and Opportunity: She advocates for increased funding for public schools, teacher retention incentives, and career-technical education options for high school students.
Economic Development: Her plan includes support for minority-owned businesses, local job creation, and resources for entrepreneurs.
Justice and Accountability: Kimes has expressed support for criminal justice reform, mental health resources in policing, and greater government transparency.
A Star-Studded but Grounded Campaign
While her announcement was attended by several Bravo personalities, including Married to Medicine co-star Quad Webb—who is serving as her campaign manager—Kimes has emphasized that her campaign is focused not on entertainment, but on empowerment.
> “This isn’t about television,” she said. “It’s about transformation—for our neighborhoods, our children, and our future.”
Political Landscape and What’s Next
District 93 is currently represented by Democrat Doreen Carter, who has held the seat since 2015. Kimes has not disclosed whether she will challenge Carter directly or run in an open seat, but has filed initial paperwork and is actively engaging voters.
Georgia’s legislative primary elections are expected to take place later this year. In the meantime, Kimes plans to host a series of listening sessions across DeKalb, Rockdale, and Gwinnett counties.
Her official campaign website, DrHeavenlyForGeorgia.com, has launched, allowing voters to learn more about her platform, donate, and volunteer.
A New Kind of Leader?
As Georgia continues to evolve politically, Kimes represents a unique fusion of public influence and policy passion—offering a candidate who’s as comfortable in the dental chair as she is in the community.
Whether her celebrity status helps or hinders her remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: Dr. Heavenly Kimes is bringing a bold voice and fresh energy to Georgia’s political landscape.
