Stacey Abrams is dedicated to building an economy that works in all 159 Georgia counties, for every Georgian, and helps families thrive. Georgia is often said to be the number one place to do business. We must also strive to be the number one place to work, raise a family, and retire. Our state will deliver high-quality employment by investing in small businesses and the assets that all businesses need, like an educated workforce and strong infrastructure in urban, suburban, and rural areas alike. Stacey is committed to lifting up all Georgians and will promote policies that support workers, remove barriers to opportunity, and foster prosperity for every family in Georgia.
As Governor, Stacey will:
- Keep more money in the pockets of working families through the Georgia Earned Income Tax Credit and the Cradle to Career Savings Program
- Generate thousands of long-term, good-paying jobs through small business capital programs, clean energy investment, and Medicaid expansion
- Invest in Georgia’s infrastructure and education systems to create jobs, improve transit, support business, bridge the skills gap, and grow our workforce statewide
- Set a goal of 22,000 apprenticeships by 2022 to build a stronger path to the middle class
- Promote Georgia as an open and inclusive state
Stacey’s Record:
- Co-founded NOWaccount, a financial services firm that helps small businesses grow in Georgia through effective capital investment
- Introduced and supported legislation to raise Georgia’s minimum wage
- Consistently opposed discriminatory legislation that deters businesses from our state
