Healthcare Improving maternal and infant health outcomes must be a top priority. Economy I will cut unnecessary red tape, expand access to capital, and push back against tariffs that raise costs on Georgia businesses and consumers – especially our farmers. At the same time, we will increase strategic investment in Atlanta and other high-growth regions, while ensuring we are also investing meaningfully across rural and emerging communities. Education We must ensure students are ready to learn each day by continuing to expand access to free school meals and other basic supports that remove barriers to achievement. Education I will work with the legislature to transition to a student-based, poverty-weighted funding model that directs resources based on actual student needs while maintaining strong transparency and local flexibility. Education I will expand dual enrollment, technical college partnerships, and industry-aligned credential programs so more students graduate workforce-ready and debt-free. I will also work with Labor to ensure that graduating students have access to apprenticeship programs and Unions are connected to the next generation of workers. Education We must start earlier. I will expand access to high-quality early childhood education and strengthen Georgia’s CAPS program so more working families can afford care and more providers can expand capacity. Education Finally, we must strengthen the pathways from high school to credentials, college, and good-paying jobs. Georgia’s HBCUs are international assets and engines of upward mobility, and my administration will pursue a clear HBCU funding and partnership strategy to support infrastructure, research capacity, and workforce pipelines. Education . By improving reimbursement rates, reducing administrative barriers, and better aligning CAPS with workforce needs, we can support parents, stabilize the childcare sector, and ensure more children enter kindergarten ready to learn. Healthcare We must expand Medicaid, there is no other option. Wages / Job Benefits A strong economy depends on a prepared workforce. I will deepen partnerships between employers, technical colleges, and local communities to align training with real job demand. Housing My affordability agenda is about smart, practical solutions that deliver real relief. By investing in the Jumpstart Fund, investing in the CAPS program, and advancing a comprehensive housing strategy, we can lower everyday costs for Georgia families. Economy Georgia’s economy is growing, but too many communities are still being left behind. As governor, I will pursue a statewide economic development strategy that invests in both our major metro regions and the rural communities that power Georgia’s future. Healthcare As governor, I will leverage Georgia’s hospitals, technical colleges, and growing economy to expand access to care, strengthen rural and community health systems, and invest in mental health, maternal care, and prevention. Housing We also need to make housing more attainable across Georgia, not just in metro areas, but in communities statewide.
