GWINNETT COUNTY, GA – Today, the Everton Blair for Congress campaign announced strong fourth-quarter fundraising results, reporting $120,943.12 raised in Q4. The campaign’s total cycle contributions reported in its filing are $463,087.28. Since the end of the quarter, the campaign has continued to build momentum, with cycle-to-date fundraising over $500,000.

“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.”

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.”

Building a Winning Operation

The campaign’s early investments include:

• Expanding voter contact across the district through door-to-door outreach, phone calls, and community-based voter engagement

• Scaling and organizing our volunteer infrastructure to turn existing support into action and build durable power across GA-13

• Strengthening communications and digital outreach so voters hear directly from Everton, not outside spenders
