Topic
Keisha Bottoms D
Rick Jackson R
Cost of living & jobs
Small BusinessKeisha will make small business a central focus of state economic policy by restructuring the Department of Economic Development to better serve Georgia’s smallest firms. source
Make Georgia More AffordableGeorgia families are getting squeezed. Groceries cost more. Rent costs more. College costs more. Property taxes are out of control. Politicians talk about affordability, but talk never paid a bill. Rick Jackson will treat affordability like a crisis, because for too many families it already is. source
Health care
HealthcareKeisha will lower health care costs for everyone by expanding Medicaid, ending the failed Georgia Pathways program, and replacing it with real coverage that actually works for families. source
Transform HealthcareRick has spent his life in healthcare. He knows where the costs are, the waste is, how the system helps families, and also how it hurts them. Too many Georgians are getting less and paying more. That’s going to change. source
Immigration & the border
No public position found
Fight Criminal Illegal ImmigrationRick Jackson will work to protect Georgians from the consequences of Washington’s failures. As Governor, Rick will: Make Georgia number one in the nation for deporting all CRIMINAL illegal immigrants End policies that put Georgia families at risk Enforce the law without apology source
Crime & public safety
Public SafetyKeisha’s public safety agenda is rooted in the belief that safer communities require both enforcement and prevention. source
Support Law EnforcementRick Jackson grew up in places where law enforcement was the difference between safety and chaos, and where law enforcement was treated with respect. He knows if you listen to and respect the police, you won’t get hurt. He will always stand with those who protect our communities. source
Schools & education
EducationKeisha will fully fund Georgia’s schools and modernize the state’s outdated education funding formula so it reflects the needs of students today, not decades ago. source
Strengthen EducationRick knows firsthand that education is the doorway to opportunity. If that doorway is closed to a child, the American Dream gets a lot farther away. Georgia parents and children may not have a lobbyist or political connections, but they will have a governor in their corner. source
Energy & environment
Environmental StewardshipKeisha will treat climate and environmental policy as a real governing responsibility, not a talking point. source
No public position found
Veterans
Veterans and Military FamiliesKeisha wants to make Georgia the best state in the country for veterans and military families. source
Support Georgia VeteransRick Jackson will stand with the men and women who served our country and with the families who sacrificed alongside them. source
Elections & government ethics
Our Rights, Freedoms, and DemocracyKeisha will stand up for Georgians’ rights and freedoms by fighting to restore a woman’s right to choose. source
Pass The Strongest Ethics Laws in AmericaPublic service should never be used to pad your pockets, prop up insiders, or as patronage for the professional political class. Rick knows that taxpayer money should be protected like it belongs to someone else. Because it does: It belongs to YOU. source
Farming & rural issues
FarmersKeisha’s agenda for farmers is about keeping land in family hands, expanding opportunity, and protecting producers from economic shocks beyond their control. source
Support Georgia AgricultureGeorgia’s farmers and agribusinesses need affordable capital and relief from rising input costs. Rick Jackson will make sure they have the tools to grow and compete. source
Housing
HousingKeisha’s housing agenda is focused on bringing costs down by building more housing and moving projects faster. source

Mayors

What does a mayor do?

Leads a city. In 'strong mayor' cities (like Chicago) the mayor runs city departments and proposes the budget; in others the city council and a city manager hold more power. Usually 4 years.

  • Police and fire departments
  • City budget and property tax levy
  • Streets, water and garbage
