Platform Pillars for a New Georgia
Empowering Work, Wages, and Wealth for Georgians
As your Governor, I will lead with a revolutionary philosophy centered on empowering Georgia’s working and middle-class families to reach their full potential. For too long, the scales of opportunity have tilted against everyday Georgians. That ends now.
We will raise the minimum wage to $20 per hour and exempt state income taxes for nurses, public school teachers, military veterans, and seniors over 65—returning dignity, stability, and financial peace to the people who’ve invested the most in our state. This is more than policy. It’s a promise to honor work, elevate wages, and build generational wealth for every Georgian.
Restoring the Right to Thrive, Not Just Survive
No Georgian should have to choose between paying rent and putting food on the table. My administration will champion policies that make everyday life more affordable—from housing and groceries to gas and childcare.
By fostering equitable growth across urban, rural, and suburban communities, we’ll build a Georgia where families have the financial breathing room to save, rest, and dream again.
A Healthy Georgia Is a Thriving Georgia
Access to quality, affordable healthcare must be a right—not a privilege. As Governor, I will expand Medicaid, protect our rural hospitals from closure, and ensure no Georgian is left behind.
We’ll increase the number of nurses, OB/GYNs, and pediatricians statewide, especially in underserved communities. Together, we will build a healthcare system that serves everyone—seniors, children, families, and those living with disabilities—with compassion, efficiency, and dignity.
Fueling Georgia’s Economic Heartbeat
Small business owners, nonprofits, and Black farmers are more than economic contributors—they’re the soul of our communities. Under my leadership, these essential stakeholders will no longer be overlooked.
We’ll cut red tape, increase access to capital, and ensure these changemakers have a permanent seat at the policy table. When we empower our local innovators and caretakers, we build a stronger, more resilient Georgia from the ground up.
Preparing the Next Generation for the Jobs of Tomorrow
A world-class education system is the gateway to economic freedom. We will invest deeply in public education—from Pre-K through technical colleges—and expand access to trades and apprenticeships.
We’ll overhaul outdated systems like Job Corps and replace them with 21st-century workforce pipelines that lead to real skills, real credentials, and real careers. Because when we prepare our people, we power our future.
Clean Air. Safe Water. Shared Responsibility.
Every Georgian deserves to breathe clean air, drink safe water, and enjoy our state’s natural beauty without fear of pollution. Environmental justice is not optional—it’s essential.
My administration will hold polluters accountable, protect vulnerable communities, and invest in renewable energy and sustainable practices. We will ensure environmental equity—no matter your income, race, or zip code.
Defending the Rights of Every Georgian
We are a state rooted in justice—and I will never let that foundation erode. As Governor, I will safeguard voting rights, defend reproductive and immigrant rights, and uphold the full protection of our Constitution, from the First to the Fourteenth Amendment.
We will reject hate, fear, and misinformation—and build a Georgia where every voice matters, every person counts, and every community is protected under law.
Building a Safer, Fairer Georgia for All
It’s time to end the era of harmful laws that have worsened health disparities, fueled gun violence, and endangered Black mothers and children. I will fight to repeal these failed policies and replace them with evidence-based, life-saving legislation.
We will prioritize justice, safety, and public health—not politics. Together, we’ll rewrite the laws to reflect the values and future Georgians truly deserve.
