What independent sources show

  • Hill's 2011 Patch essay listed free-market economics among his core principles, and Rough Draft Atlanta reported in April 2012 that he wanted Georgia to be the most economically competitive state in the country. In that article it was his primary rival Josh Belinfante, not Hill, who listed "regulatory reform" by name.
  • In 2015 Hill sponsored SB 63, which eased Georgia's three-tier alcohol rules so breweries could sell tours that include limited amounts of beer. Gov. Nathan Deal signed a narrower version than brewers had wanted (Senate Press Office; AccessWDUN).
  • His 2018 campaign website opposed EPA regulations it described as federal overreach on agriculture, according to Ballotpedia's summary.
