<h2 style="text-align: center;">Bring the Fight to DC</h2>This race is the most important Democratic Primary of 2026; it’s a flagship contest in the preservation of our democracy. After 50 years in elected office, our congressman has been dubbed “Exhibit A for Term Limits”: he is absent in the district, misses votes in Congress and hasn’t even voted in regular elections at home. His absence is not neutral--it's a threat to our democracy. <h4>We can defeat Trump's authoritarian takeover, but it requires leaders in Congress who have the will to fight back and deliver.</h4>Everton represents a new generation of Georgia leadership, one grounded in community, guided by faith, and driven by results. Whether in the classroom or on the School Board, he has never waited for permission to stand up for what is right. That is the integrity and determination that we desperately need in Washington.

<h2>Enough is enough.</h2>While our democracy hangs by a thread, billionaires and wealthy corporations have hijacked the economy and left the rest of us behind. We are working harder, but making less. Costs are rising, infrastructure crumbling and our Congressman doesn’t seem to care. We deserve better.&nbsp; My family came to this country from Jamaica and worked hard to achieve the American Dream right here in Georgia’s 13th. Today, that dream is now impossible for many. Large corporations have snapped up homes that once belonged to families, pushing the promise of stable homeownership further out of reach. The good-paying jobs that remain are over an hour away, leaving residents dependent on long, costly commutes. Emerging data centers are draining enormous amounts of energy, driving up our utility bills and polluting our water. And, no matter your zip code, healthcare is increasingly unaffordable.&nbsp; Over time, corporations have quietly taken over the very pillars that once made our communities a place of hope and economic opportunity.&nbsp; We do not have to accept this. This moment is not simply about being against one person or one party. It is about recognizing that the status quo is not working and better is possible…if we fight for it. I’m running to fight. To fight for an economy that prioritizes people before profit. For stronger schools and safer communities. For affordable housing and healthcare as a human right. For free and fair elections. This district is not just where I live, it's who I am. I will not stand by and surrender our communities to wealthy corporate greed or an authoritarian regime. I will show up, listen, and fight. That is the leadership we deserve and that is my commitment to you.&nbsp;&nbsp; <h3>My career reflects a lifelong instinct: if something’s broken, you fix it. Congress is broken, and I'm running so we can change that.</h3><h2>...Change Can't Wait!</h2>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Educator. Fighter. Son of Georgia.</h2>Born and raised in Gwinnett County, Georgia, Dr. Everton Blair Jr. is an educator, lifelong resident of Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, and a proud son of Jamaican immigrants who built their lives on faith, hard work, and community.As a student in Gwinnett County Public Schools, Everton saw how opportunity can be unevenly distributed. When his classmates had to share outdated textbooks, he bought new ones for the entire class, a quiet act that reflected a lifelong instinct: if something’s broken, you fix it. That instinct carried him into public service. After teaching high school math in Atlanta Public Schools, Everton served on the Gwinnett County School Board, where he quickly became Board Chair. His tenure was defined by transparency, collaboration, and results, as he governed one of the state’s most complex public systems through the COVID-19 pandemic with steadiness and integrity.Before serving locally, Everton worked on President Obama’s White House Initiative on Educational Excellence, training school leaders nationwide to govern with both courage and compassion. He holds a bachelor’s in applied mathematics (B.A.) and a Doctor of Education Leadership (Ed.L.D.) from Harvard University and a Master's in Policy, Organization, and Leadership (M.A.) from Stanford University.

Priorities Grid

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Serious, Proven Leadership</h2>Everton is not new to leading during crisis or across lines of difference. In 2018, he made history as the first person of color and the youngest-ever member elected to the Gwinnett County School Board. He entered office as the only Democrat and the youngest member by 40 years, but that did not stop him from fighting for the community that raised him. On day one, Everton went to work delivering for students, educators and families.He used his platform to recruit new school board candidates. They won and replaced two Republican seats on the board, creating a Democratic majority. Not long after, Everton was unanimously elected Board Chair by his Democrat and Republican colleagues. As Board Chair, Everton led the Metro Atlanta COVID-19 pandemic response, while successfully raising teacher pay, expanding student services, and overseeing the county's most historic superintendent transition. That's the kind of proven, effective leadership Everton will bring to Congress.

Born and raised in Gwinnett County, Georgia, Dr. Everton Blair Jr. is an educator, lifelong resident of Georgia’s 13th Congressional District, and a proud son of Jamaican immigrants who built their lives on faith, hard work, and community.

Meet Everton Blair

Meet Everton

I’m the proud son of Jamaican immigrants who built their lives on faith, hard work, and community. Stories like my family's are only possible when our country welcomes immigrants. Today, the same American Dream my family pursued is impossible for many.Trump’s cruel and inhumane immigration agenda has worsened the crisis. We have to stop treating the border as a theater for political stunts and start treating it as a complex legal and humanitarian responsibility. True security doesn't come from a wall; it comes from an efficient and well-resourced system. I’ll advocate for shifting our focus away from the militarized enforcement model of the last decade and toward a system that prioritizes the dignity of every person seeking a better life.<ul><li>Abolish ICE and return immigration to the Department of Justice instead of the Department of Homeland Security.</li><li>Expand a clear, earned pathway to citizenship for our neighbors who have lived, worked, and paid taxes here for years.</li><li>Codify permanent protections for DACA recipients and "Dreamers" who, like me, were raised in the promise of this country.</li><li>Modernize and reform our visa system to keep families together and expedite the immigration court process.</li></ul>

Our immigration system is broken, and Trump’s cruel and inhumane immigration agenda made it worse. We need a well-resourced, transparent, and efficient immigration system that prioritizes due process and human dignity.

As Georgia's first LGBTQ+ member of Congress and the first openly Black gay member of Congress from the South, I will be the strongest advocate for LGBTQ issues.

Free &amp; Fair Elections

Everton Blair, former chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, announces his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District today. A lifelong resident of the redrawn district, Everton will bring new energy to Congress and be more visible and accessible to the people of the district. “I am running for Congress because it is time for the next generation to step up and correct the direction that this country is headed…” said Blair. “Change can’t wait, and Democrats need a new bench of leaders who are committed to solving real problems for regular, working people.” Blair has a strong background in public service. In 2018, he made history as the first Black and youngest-ever board chair and board member to be elected to the Gwinnett County Board of Education. As chairman of the board, he led the school district during the pandemic – overseeing the district’s superintendent transition, budget expansion, COVID-19 response and annual reaccreditation. Before the board, he taught high school math in Atlanta Public Schools, coached superintendents across the country and served as a Policy Fellow in President Obama's White House Initiative on Educational Excellence. After his board service, he went to complete a doctorate at Harvard University in Education Leadership with a focus on government and civic partnerships. Blair also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics from Harvard College and a Master’s Degree in Policy and Organizational Leadership from Stanford University. “With so much falling apart under this administration, we need more representatives who are in touch with reality and have the courage to fight for our future. The leaders who got us into this mess are not the ones that are going to get us out of it. ” said Blair. “I am asking for your support so that I can fight for you and your family in Washington.” The 13th Congressional District is a diverse district that includes all or portions of Clayton, Dekalb, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton and Rockdale counties. The district is currently represented by David Scott, a 79-year-old Democrat who has served in elected office for 50 years and recently lost his ranking seniority.

GWINNETT COUNTY, GA — The Everton Blair for Congress campaign today announced commanding fourth-quarter fundraising results, raising $120,943.12 in Q4 and reporting $463,087.28 in total cycle contributions, out-raising every candidate in this race and leading the entire field in contributions for the cycle. Since the close of the quarter, the campaign has accelerated even further, pushing cycle-to-date fundraising past $500,000. Our momentum is real, not manufactured. We’re powered by a broad base of real people ready for change, not special interests or self-funded loans. We are not trying to buy this election with personal wealth. We are building a winning operation with a true base of support. “This is what it looks like when everyday people, not special interests, decide they are done waiting for change. We know that we will not defeat this authoritarian regime without stronger Democratic leaders in Congress. Time is up,” said Dr. Everton Blair, candidate for Congress in Georgia’s 13th District. “This campaign is about building power right here at home, reminding people that stronger representation is possible if we fight for it. Our country is falling apart and we are not waiting for permission to lead. Change can’t wait.”The campaign noted that its spending reflects a deliberate early strategy: investing and organizing early, talking to voters now, and entering May with a campaign built to win.“We are spending early because we are building something real,” Blair added. “A real field program. Real voter contact. Real communications. We are not leaving May up to chance, and we are not waiting for outside money to define this race. We are going to meet voters where they are, earn their trust, and win.”Campaign Manager Bianca Keaton added, “This is an early investment in victory. We are working daily to expand our organizing capacity across the district so we can knock doors, communicate consistently, and keep growing through Election Day.”<h4>Building a Winning Operation</h4>The campaign’s early investments include:<ul><li>Expanding voter contact across the district through door-to-door outreach, phone calls, and community-based voter engagement</li><li>Scaling and organizing our volunteer infrastructure to turn existing support into action and build durable power across GA-13</li><li>Strengthening communications and digital outreach so voters hear directly from Everton, not outside spenders</li></ul>See link to the full filing report.
