Positions
Healthcare
As a Georgia Supreme Court justice and previously as state Solicitor General, Sarah Hawkins Warren has commented on and participated in litigation touching public-health issues (for example, immunizations for children in state custody) but has no clearly documented policy platform on broad healthcare reforms such as the Affordable Care Act, Medicare expansion, or single‑payer proposals. Her available public record shows judicial and litigation positions in specific cases rather than a general healthcare policy agenda.
Immigration & Border
As Solicitor General of Georgia and later as a Georgia Supreme Court justice, Sarah Hawkins Warren participated in or was counsel on state filings that supported stronger enforcement measures and opposed certain federal immigration policies and sanctuary-city limits. Her involvement with Georgia amicus briefs and the Attorney General’s multi-state actions indicates alignment with state-led enforcement and restrictions rather than expansion of asylum or broad regularization measures.

Abortion & Reproductive Rights
As a Georgia Supreme Court justice, Sarah Hawkins Warren joined the court majority that reinstated the state’s six-week abortion ban, restoring enforcement of a law that prohibits most abortions after embryonic cardiac activity is detected. Her judicial record emphasizes applying the law as written and has been central to challenges and debate over abortion access in Georgia.
Climate & Energy
Sarah Hawkins Warren is a Georgia Supreme Court justice who has authored and joined opinions on environmental and land-use issues (for example, upholding a county stormwater charge). There is no clear public record in campaign materials or judicial opinions that she advocates for comprehensive climate policy (e.g., emissions targets, Green New Deal–style plans, or explicit support for/against fossil-fuel expansion).
Public Safety & Guns
As a justice on the Georgia Supreme Court, Sarah Hawkins Warren was part of the court that in 2025 unanimously upheld a state law prohibiting most adults under 21 from carrying handguns in public, a ruling that affirms the legislature’s ability to impose certain firearm-carry restrictions. Her participation in that decision indicates support for some firearm regulations while the court recognized the legislature’s role in setting limits on carrying firearms.
