    As a woman, I am enraged by the continued assault on our right to control our bodies + our futures. As an American, I am appalled by the SCOTUS breach & its implications. As the next Governor of Georgia, I will defend the right to an abortion and fight for reproductive justice.

    There’s no place for hate in Georgia. Being an ally is not something you give lip-service to. It’s something you pour your heart into. Your mind into. Your voice into. And your work into.

    State auditor estimates costs between $273M to $340M in annual state costs w/o offsets. I round up to $400M. Analysis estimates 64K jobs in 2022. I round down to 60K jobs over 10 yrs (v. 1 yr). $4,000,000,000 in state costs / 60,000 in likely jobs = $67K/per job created.

    Like I did in the legislature, I always show my work: ➡️ Medicaid expansion creates 60K jobs at $67K/position. ➡️ $1,500,000,000 in state and local funded incentives ➡️ Tax abatements/7,500 in likely jobs = $200,000 per job created.

    If Medicaid Expansion works, creates jobs AND supports the health and well-being of our people, why won't Brian Kemp get it done? Because he just doesn’t care.

    We know new jobs are good for Georgia. Let's look at the math for 10 years: ✅ Rivian electric vehicle project: $1.5B for 7,500 jobs = $200K per job ✅ Medicaid expansion: $4B for 60,000 jobs = $67K per job Medicaid expansion works for 38 states + DC and it will work here.

    As a small business owner, I know that small businesses are the backbone of our communities. During this Small Business Week — and every week — I am committed to helping Georgians like Ms. Teresa thrive.
