The next leader of our state has to have bold solutions that address the issues communities are facing on the ground — because policy solutions are meaningless unless they center on people. Grateful for a powerful evening in Clayton County with community leaders and partners.

Shana Tova! Wishing all those celebrating Rosh Hashanah a good and sweet New Year. May this year bring happiness, health, and peace.

Grateful to have the support of @teamsters Local 528 as we build a winning coalition. Labor keeps Georgia moving — fighting for good jobs, strong families & dignity in retirement. As governor, I’ll have workers’ backs just like they’ve always had ours.

As the husband of a nurse practitioner, I know firsthand that nurses are on the frontlines of providing care in communities across Georgia.

In my very first floor speech, I shared the story of my mom, who’s been battling late-stage Alzheimer’s for the last few years now. Caring for her has been my privilege as her son, but it hasn’t been without its difficulties.

Georgia roots. Miami pride. And tonight we can all agree: beat the Gators! Go Canes! 🙌🏽

A big thanks to @jasonesteves.bsky.social for speaking at our breakfast today #gapol #gwinnett

An inspiring night at the ADL’s Torch of Liberty Award celebration, honoring the work to build a more inclusive and just Georgia. Congratulations to Matt Bronfman on receiving this year’s award — a reminder of the impact we can have when community is at the heart of progress.

Hyundai got a $1.8 billion investment from the state of Georgia — paid for with your tax dollars. Trump & Kemp’s reckless raid put those jobs at risk while stoking fear in our communities. As governor, I’ll protect families, defend jobs & fight back.

Georgia cannot afford to lose labor and delivery services in rural areas, especially amid a maternal health crisis. We are failing as a state if a mother has to drive hours to deliver a child or risk her life because of a lack of access. www.fox5atlanta.com/news/st-mary...

A new candidate just jumped into the race for Georgia governor. This is the same person who helped pass Georgia’s abortion ban — a law that has already cost women their lives and put families at risk.

Leadership means knowing when to throw elbows, when to pass to your teammates, and when to play defense. That’s how we’ll win for Georgia. I'm ready to bring that same fight, teamwork, and strategy to the governor’s office.

“The way we win the governor’s seat and the U.S. Senate seat is by organizing up and down the ballot, and it’s races like Debra’s that are going to lay the groundwork...” Y’all watch what’s happening in Georgia right now – we’re organizing to win. bit.ly/4nqq8Ce

Access to safe, legal abortion care in Georgia remains severely restricted — and the consequences are real and urgent. Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller died from preventable deaths under the state's abortion ban.

Today we remember the lives lost on 9/11 and honor the bravery of first responders and service members who ran toward the danger. May we never forget their sacrifice, and may we continue working toward a safer, stronger, and more united future for our country.

I entered the State Senate with two lessons from my mom in mind: treat people the way you want to be treated, and always leave your community better than how you found it. With these values at the heart of my work, I’m proud of the work we have done to deliver real results

My second time in Cherokee County this cycle and I can feel the energy! Debra has the bold, new leadership that Georgia needs in the State Senate, and her movement has already shown strength.

Trump's tariffs threaten the survival of small businesses across our state. Local shops like Xocolatl should be able to focus on innovation and community, not scrambling to make up for bad federal policy. www.11alive.com/article/news...

What a great morning connecting with supporters in Canton yesterday! Thank you to everyone who came out and joined the conversation. Moments like these remind me why grassroots engagement is the heart of our campaign.

My statement on the Bryan County immigration raid. It’s time to stand up for workers, protect families, and hold corporations accountable.

Brian Kemp is wasting critical resources and politicizing our service members to bend the knee to Donald Trump instead of focusing on protecting Georgians. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

Rural hospitals are lifelines for residents who can't afford to drive hours when they're sick. As governor, I'll fight for federal and state policies that expand access to care for rural communities and keep hospitals open. https://bit.ly/3JnUqag

Today marks one year since the horrific shooting at Apalachee High School. My heart is with the families, students, and educators who continue to carry the pain today. As governor, I’ll fight every day to protect our students and end the epidemic of gun violence in Georgia. bit.ly/3JJGJ5y

Celebrating another year with my boo! We played the "14 questions" couple game....spoiler: we're still debating who's the better driver. Here’s to love, laughter, and many more years together!

Today, we honor the generations of workers whose courage and sacrifice built the foundation of our economy and secured the rights so many of us now depend on — fair wages, safer working conditions, and the ability to organize.

I was honored to attend the 39th Federation of Bangladeshi Associations in North America Convention. It was a beautiful reminder of the rich diversity in Georgia and how much we gain when we come together to share, connect, and build opportunities.

20 years ago, Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans and the surrounding Gulf Coast. This disaster caused irreplaceable loss of life, history, and community — especially for Black residents, who suffered most due to the deep racial injustices in disaster mitigation and response. bit.ly/4lRkyb2

My statement on the shooting at Annunciation Catholic School in Minneapolis.

218 days in office, and what has Donald Trump done to actually lower costs or invest in Georgians’ futures? Firing Georgia native Dr. Lisa Cook is yet another Trump move to destroy our economy and light your hard-earned money on fire. bit.ly/3UMvr2M

Georgians: If your vote didn’t matter, they wouldn’t be fighting so hard to take it away. I urge you to check your voter registration status and ensure you can cast your ballot in critical upcoming elections: http://mvp.sos.ga.gov

The closures of International Paper’s Savannah & Riceboro mills are a devastating blow to the communities they’ve been engaged in for decades. My thoughts are with the 1,100 hardworking employees who have lost their jobs because of this difficult decision. www.wjcl.com/article/inte...

This isn’t new. Overturning Roe v. Wade. Refusing to expand Medicaid. Passing the Big Ugly Bill in Washington. Our access to health care is under attack – and it’s Georgia families who are paying the price. bit.ly/46YoqTI

Tonight I gathered with families and advocates to remember Amber Nicole Thurman and Candi Miller — two young, vibrant women whose lives were tragically cut short because of Georgia’s extreme abortion ban.

Today, we celebrate the ratification of the 19th Amendment, which recognized women’s right to vote. However, we also acknowledge the harmful reality that it took an additional decades-long struggle for women of color to gain the same status.

Our fight for a better Georgia is rooted in family, service, and a responsibility to do what’s right — even when it’s hard.

Ribbons cut, tables set — we’re officially open and ready to serve you in Macon! Ariel and I are beyond grateful to celebrate the opening of our third small business and our second restaurant.

Great evening with my friend and colleague, Rep Carolyn Hugley, in my hometown of Columbus. Thanks for having us, Jarfly Restaurant!

This campaign is for every Georgian — from Valdosta to Rome — because it’s time for a leader who will put working families over billionaires. Who’s with me?

Basketball has been an outlet for me for decades. My favorite days start at 6 AM on the court: shooting my shots, setting picks, and making plays. On the court is where I learned to lead. You can’t win a game solo — you need a team that moves together, trusts each other, and backs each other up.

Donald Trump is wading into Georgia elections once again to prop up MAGA extremist Burt Jones. The GOP has already made it clear that I’m the candidate they’re afraid to face in November because we’re building a campaign that can and will stand up to Trump and his cheerleaders. bit.ly/45LoUeP

Georgia is facing a literacy crisis, and our children are falling behind. With billions sitting in the state’s reserves, Georgia has the resources to tackle this crisis head-on. We just need the leadership to get it done. I’m running for governor to invest in our public schools and our students.

Safer, stronger, more connected neighborhoods start with strong partnerships between communities and law enforcement. I had a wonderful time at the National Night Out in the Collier Heights neighborhood alongside Council member Andrea Boone!

CDC employees work tirelessly to keep Georgians safe and ensure our public health stays in check. Yet in the last year, these hardworking men and women have faced reckless mass firings, funding cuts, the politicization of their public service, and now targeted gun violence. bit.ly/4ljsEJ6

Ariel and I are saddened to learn of the passing of DeKalb County Police Officer David Rose, who heroically protected our community during yesterday’s senseless shooting. Our hearts go out to his family and our entire DeKalb community grieving this loss.

I am horrified to watch a shooting unfold at Emory and the CDC, the second time this week that Georgia has faced a major act of gun violence.

Back to school takes me back to my tenure as school board chair. I served on the Atlanta Public Schools Board of Education at a time when trust had been broken – with parents, teachers, and most importantly, our students.

“As a Black man, I often get asked how I got to where I am. I wish that I could say it was solely because of hard work. We need a governor who is going to build a state where your success in life is based on merit and not luck.” theatlantavoice.com/why-him-why-...

I am devastated to hear about the shooting at Ft. Stewart today. This horrific act of violence has no place in our communities. Ariel and I are praying for the victims, their families, and local law enforcement.

On the anniversary of the Voting Rights Act of 1965, I’m honoring the men and women who fought to expand access to the ballot box for Black Americans.

I’m running for governor because I want to build a state where all Georgians can thrive, regardless of their zip code. Thanks for having me in the WAREhouse studios this morning, @theatlantavoice.bsky.social! 🔗 theatlantavoice.com/why-him-why-...
