Campaign promises are easy; records are earned. Here's what each Democratic nominee for statewide office has done in public service, business, and community work.
U.S. Senate · incumbent
What it meant for Georgians Federal dollars he helped secure flowed into Georgia roads, bridges, and the Port of Savannah — supporting jobs across the state — while his prison investigations exposed conditions affecting thousands of incarcerated Georgians and their families.
Governor
What it meant for Georgians Her affordable housing push put hundreds of millions of dollars toward keeping Atlanta livable for working families, and her steady hand through the pandemic kept city services running for half a million residents during the state's hardest stretch.
Lieutenant Governor
What it meant for Georgians His Medicaid expansion fight is about closing the coverage gap for hundreds of thousands of uninsured Georgians, and his legal work has centered on protecting consumers from predatory practices.
Attorney General
What it meant for Georgians As a prosecutor she put violent offenders behind bars; as a defense and civil rights attorney she fought for Georgians wronged by the system — experience on both sides that shaped her push for a justice system that's tough and fair.
Secretary of State
What it meant for Georgians Her years on the bench meant everyday Georgians — tenants, workers, small-business owners — got a fair hearing in her courtroom, and her experience across all three branches of state government taught her how Georgia's institutions actually serve (or fail) its citizens.
Insurance & Fire Safety Commissioner
What it meant for Georgians Across three terms in the House and a citywide council seat, she delivered constituent services for thousands of metro Atlanta residents and pushed public safety legislation — groundwork for her focus on the insurance costs squeezing Georgia households.
Labor Commissioner
What it meant for Georgians Her nonprofit put grant money, training, and national visibility directly into the hands of Georgia's Black women entrepreneurs — creating businesses and jobs in communities banks often overlook — after years of serving the country in uniform and Georgia kids in the classroom.
Agriculture Commissioner
What it meant for Georgians Her farm-to-family programs got fresh, affordable food from Georgia growers onto metro Atlanta tables while giving small farmers a reliable market — a working model of the food economy she wants to scale statewide.
School Superintendent
What it meant for Georgians A quarter century in Georgia classrooms and school offices means thousands of students across four counties were taught, mentored, and led by her directly — firsthand knowledge of what schools and teachers actually need from the state.
Public Service Commission · District 3 · incumbent
What it meant for Georgians For years he was one of the few expert voices pushing back on Georgia Power rate hikes in PSC hearings — advocacy aimed squarely at the monthly power bills of every Georgia household — and now he casts votes on those rates directly.
Public Service Commission · District 5
What it meant for Georgians Her career has been about making complex, high-stakes systems understandable and accountable to the public — the same skill she's aimed at utility bills, pushing for rates everyday Georgia families can actually afford.
