Georgia State Senator Jason Esteves Declares Candidacy for Governor, Pledges to Combat Trump's Reckless Policies

On Monday morning, Georgia State Senator Jason Esteves declared his candidacy for Governor, marking the first Democratic entry. Esteves, who represents the 35th District, emphasized enhancing Georgia's appeal for work, business, and family life amidst escalating living costs and political maneuvers favoring special interests. “We need to tackle the high cost of living and protect women's reproductive rights,” he stated. Esteves, a lifelong Georgian and former social studies teacher, has actively addressed food insecurity and supported educational funding legislation. Meanwhile, U.S. Representative Lucy McBath halted her campaign due to family health issues, while Republican Lieutenant Governor Burt Jones appears as a frontrunner.
