Why I'm Running

[Hero] Why

Rising prices hit Black working families hardest. We should not be left facing the greatest burden while the ultra-wealthy pays less than their fair share.

Education and Jobs

Education and skills training shape long-term economic outcomes. Work should provide stability and mobility, not just survival. <h5>Improve Our Education System</h5><ul><li>Restore and strengthen the Department of Education to fully support students, teachers, and schools.</li><li>Raise teacher pay and invest in educators and school staff.</li><li>Expand universal Pre-K and early childhood education.</li><li>Grow career and technical education, apprenticeships, and job training programs for high-wage careers, with or without a four-year degree.</li></ul>The tradition of excellence established by HBCUs, institutions that have produced generations of Black leaders, entrepreneurs, and professionals, reminds us of what is possible when we invest in education as an engine of upward mobility. That same commitment must extend to the public schools, community colleges, and career programs that serve our district’s families every day.<h5>Fight for Better Jobs</h5><ul><li>Bring good-paying jobs into GA-13 through federal investment in infrastructure, clean energy, transportation, and public service.</li><li>Raise the federal minimum wage to a living wage that reflects today’s cost of living.</li><li>Fight wage theft, worker misclassification, and unfair labor practices.</li><li>Ensure job growth reaches suburban Black communities, not just downtown business districts.</li></ul><h5>Workforce Readiness for the AI Economy</h5><ul><li>Create federally funded workforce retraining programs in partnership with community colleges and local training providers.</li><li>Invest in digital infrastructure and broadband access so every community can participate in the AI economy.</li><li>Establish worker protections against algorithmic discrimination in hiring, lending, and housing.</li><li>Support legislation requiring corporations to disclose AI’s impact on their workforce and to invest in transition programs.</li></ul>

<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 leaders don'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>Change Can't Wait!</h3>

Entrepreneurship and Black Small Business Ownership

Black entrepreneurship drives jobs, services, and community wealth in GA-13, but opportunity is not equally available.Despite making up roughly 14 percent of the population, Black Americans own just 2 percent of employer businesses. Black-owned firms are often undercapitalized, concentrated in lower-growth sectors, and more vulnerable to economic shocks. If ownership matched population share, GA-13 could see significant growth in local enterprises, jobs, and revenue. <h5>Expand Access to Capital</h5><ul><li>Expand nontraditional financing options: revenue-based financing, contract financing, evergreen community funds, and employee ownership.</li><li>Modernize credit underwriting to include rental, utility, and transaction history.</li><li>Increase availability of smaller-dollar loans to align with local business needs.</li><li>Encourage Special Purpose Credit Programs (SPCPs) for banks serving GA-13.</li><li>Support community and regional banks and expand access to patient equity capital.</li></ul><h5>Strengthen Community-Based Financial Institutions</h5><ul><li>Increase federal support for CDFIs and MDIs serving Metro Atlanta.</li><li>Reduce burdensome matching requirements for smaller and Black-led CDFIs.</li><li>Backstop equity-like investments in local institutions and expand investor tax credits.</li><li>Fund technology upgrades so CDFIs and MDIs can compete with fintech lenders.</li></ul><h5>Build Local Entrepreneurial Infrastructure</h5><ul><li>Invest in mentorship programs, business incubators, and local entrepreneurial hubs.</li><li>Fund outreach to ensure awareness of crowdfunding and alternative financing.</li><li>Support civic infrastructure that connects Black entrepreneurs to networks and resources.</li><li>Allow "catch-up" retirement contributions for entrepreneurs who delayed savings to start a business.</li></ul><h5>Reduce Barriers to Entry</h5><ul><li>Streamline licensing and permitting, reduce fees, and simplify processes.</li><li>Support regional and interstate licensing compacts for Metro Atlanta workers.</li><li>Remove blanket bans, "good character" clauses, and unrelated fines that block formerly incarcerated individuals from obtaining or renewing licenses.</li></ul>

<h3>Blair's Black Economic Agenda for GA-13</h3>Georgia’s 13th Congressional District is a majority-Black, entirely suburban district in Metro Atlanta. Roughly two-thirds of residents are Black, with most families living in working and middle-class suburban communities.Despite the district’s growth and economic activity, Black residents continue to face persistent economic barriers. Black unemployment has consistently remained higher than white unemployment over the last ten and twenty years. Economic downturns have hit Black workers hardest, with sharper job losses and slower recoveries following recessions and the COVID-19 pandemic.To combat this, as a member of Congress, I will enact a policy agenda directly focused on improving outcomes for Black Georgians in economic opportunity, affordable housing, education, health care, and wealth creation.

<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.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.

Introduction

Everton Blair - Fighting for Our Children

Everton Blair is a proven servant leader with big ideas and a record of results. At 26, he became the first Black and youngest-ever member elected to the Gwinnett County Board of Education, helped build a Democratic majority, and was unanimously elected chair. He led Metro Atlanta’s COVID response, raised teacher pay, and expanded student services. Now he’s running for Congress to listen first, lead boldly, and deliver for the working families of GA-13.

Health Care, Elder Care, Child Care

Health care is a right, not a privilege. No family should go bankrupt because someone gets sick, and no senior should have to choose between dignity and survival. <h5>Health Care</h5>The One Big Beautiful Bill Act gutted Medicaid by over $930 billion, the largest cut in the program’s history, stripping coverage from an estimated eight million Americans by 2034. In Georgia, where the state has only recently expanded Medicaid, these cuts threaten to reverse hard-won progress. Meanwhile, prescription drug costs, insurance premiums, and out-of-pocket expenses continue to rise faster than wages, forcing families to choose between paying for care and paying for groceries.<ul><li>Fight for Medicare for All, because health care is a right and no family should be one diagnosis away from financial ruin.</li><li>Reverse the Medicaid cuts in the Big Beautiful Bill and protect coverage for the eight million Americans at risk of losing their insurance.</li><li>Lower prescription drug costs by empowering Medicare to negotiate prices across all covered drugs and capping out-of-pocket expenses for seniors and working families.</li><li>Expand access to mental health care, maternal health services, and community health centers across the district.</li><li>Address the affordability crisis head-on: health care, housing, childcare, and groceries are all consuming a larger share of family budgets than at any point in a generation. This agenda treats affordability as an economic justice issue, not a line item.</li></ul><h5>Elder Care</h5>No sector of our population has been hit harder by the intersecting crises of health care costs, housing instability, and isolation than seniors, particularly Black seniors in suburban communities who have spent a lifetime building families and contributing to their neighborhoods. Our elders deserve to age with respect, independence, and health.<ul><li>Expand Medicaid to include home health care, so seniors can stay in the homes they love and age in place rather than being forced into institutional settings.</li><li>Increase federal investment in affordable senior housing, including low-income senior housing developments that meet modern energy and accessibility standards.</li><li>Protect, strengthen, and expand Social Security and Medicare, and fight to ensure that wealthy individuals pay the same percentage of their income into Social Security as middle-class and working families.</li><li>Lower prescription drug costs for seniors by ending price-gouging and monopoly practices by pharmaceutical companies.</li><li>Invest in community-based senior services: nutrition programs, transportation access, adult day programs, and caregiver support.</li><li>Strengthen oversight and accountability for nursing homes and long-term care facilities, where residents, disproportionately Black and low-income, too often face neglect and unsafe conditions.</li></ul><h5>Child Care</h5>Affordable, quality child care is not a luxury. It is economic infrastructure. When parents cannot access or afford child care, they cannot work, and when child care workers are underpaid, the entire system strains under the weight.<ul><li>Expand federal childcare subsidies so that no working family pays more than seven percent of their income on child care.</li><li>Invest in universal Pre-K and early childhood education to give every child a strong start and every parent the freedom to work.</li><li>Raise wages for child care workers, who are overwhelmingly women of color, to reflect the essential nature of the work they do.</li><li>Expand paid family and medical leave so that parents can care for a newborn, a sick child, or an aging parent without losing their job or their income.</li></ul>

<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.

Transportation, Innovation, and Suburban Infrastructure

Black families in GA-13’s suburban communities are often locked out of regional economic opportunities because&nbsp; Metro Atlanta’s infrastructure has not kept pace with suburban growth. <h5>Hartsfield-Jackson and Black Economic Infrastructure</h5>Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport is a generational wealth engine for Black Metro Atlanta. Mayor Maynard Jackson built it that way on purpose, creating contracting pipelines, opening doors to Black-owned businesses, and proving that when Black leadership has power and vision, entire communities rise. Thousands of families across Metro Atlanta, including in Georgia’s 13th District, have built their livelihoods through airport contracts, concessions, construction, transportation, and the businesses that feed that ecosystem.But today, that engine is under threat. Federal contracting standards are being weakened. Diversity requirements in procurement are being rolled back. This administration treats the airport’s legacy of inclusion as a problem to be solved instead of a model to be expanded. And the leadership that is supposed to be fighting to protect those pipelines has gone quiet.<ul><li>Defend and expand minority contracting pipelines at Hartsfield-Jackson and across all federal procurement.</li><li>Fight any federal effort to weaken or eliminate diversity requirements in government contracts.</li><li>Push for transparency and accountability in how airport-related contracts are awarded, ensuring Black-owned businesses retain meaningful access.</li><li>Advocate for the Maynard Jackson model to be replicated at major infrastructure projects across the country.</li><li>Protect the concession and vendor ecosystem that supports Black entrepreneurs and small businesses tied to the airport economy.</li></ul><h5>Clayton County and Airport Revenue Equity</h5>Hartsfield-Jackson sits on land in Clayton County, but the City of Atlanta has annexed the airport, meaning that over $30 million in annual local tax revenue from aviation fuel sales bypasses Clayton County and its public schools entirely. FAA regulations created in 2014 restrict Clayton County from collecting revenue from local general sales taxes on aviation fuel, even though the county levied those taxes long before the rule existed. Clayton County bears the environmental costs of hosting the world’s busiest airport (noise, traffic, air pollution) without receiving its fair share of the economic benefit.<ul><li>Support legislation modeled on the Airport Revenue Clarity Act to restore local tax revenue to Clayton County and the Clayton County Public Schools.</li><li>Fight to ensure that communities bearing the environmental burden of major infrastructure also receive their fair share of the economic benefits.</li><li>Push for greater federal transparency in how airport-related tax revenue is allocated across jurisdictions.</li></ul><h5>Suburban Transportation and Regional Mobility</h5>Black families in GA-13’s suburban communities are locked out of economic opportunities because regional infrastructure has not kept pace with suburban growth. Residents in Stockbridge, Conyers, Lithonia, and across Clayton, Henry, and Rockdale counties sit in traffic on I-20, I-75, and I-285 while jobs and transit investments concentrate inside the city of Atlanta. The decline of metro regional planning has left suburban Black communities without the connectivity they need to access employment, education, and services.<ul><li>Push for the expansion of heavy rail and MARTA service into GA-13’s suburban communities, connecting residents to jobs and economic opportunity across the region.</li><li>Advocate for federal investment in suburban transit infrastructure, not just downtown business districts, so that economic development reaches the communities where Black families live.</li><li>Support regional transportation planning that prioritizes equity and suburban connectivity, reducing commute times and improving quality of life.</li><li>Invest in electric vehicle infrastructure and sustainable transportation options for suburban neighborhoods.</li></ul>

Housing stability is one of the most important drivers of wealth and economic security in GA-13. <h5>Increase the supply of affordable housing</h5><ul><li>Expand affordable rental and for-sale housing to close gaps in the housing stock.</li><li>Streamline the Low-Income Housing Tax Credit (LIHTC) program to reduce inspection burdens and improve coordination between federal and local agencies.</li><li>Allow LIHTC projects to bypass restrictive zoning requirements where objections are unrelated to public health.</li><li>Increase funding and incentives for rehabilitation and renovation projects across federally funded and private development programs.</li><li>Simplify and expand the Capital Magnet Fund (CMF) to improve access to affordable housing, including for-sale units.</li><li>Expand the HOME Investment Partnerships Program (HOME) to provide reliable funding for low-income and extremely low-income families.</li><li>Encourage faster, lower-cost, and environmentally friendly construction methods, including modular and panelized housing.</li></ul><h5>Reduce Barriers to Homeownership</h5><ul><li>Implement a federal down-payment assistance program for low- and middle-income first-generation homebuyers.</li><li>Mitigate high interest rates for Black buyers through mortgage-rate buydown programs.</li></ul><h5>Enforce Fair Housing and Eliminate Discrimination</h5><ul><li>Modernize credit evaluations to include rental, utility, and other alternative payment histories.</li><li>Streamline applications for subsidized housing and reform tenant screening practices.</li><li>Audit lending practices to address bias and mis-valuation in appraisals.</li><li>Prioritize federally held housing for owner-occupants and mission-driven entities rather than large investors.</li></ul><h5>Invest in Neighborhood Stability Without Displacement</h5><ul><li>Expand programs like HUD’s Choice Neighborhoods, linking housing investments with education, health, safety, and economic opportunity.</li><li>Strengthen the Housing Choice Voucher program, making vouchers more usable in a variety of neighborhoods.</li><li>Support local tax "shock absorber" policies to prevent displacement during redevelopment.</li><li>Require private investment companies to register and report impacts on local communities.</li></ul>

Food Security and the Safety Net

No family should go hungry because politicians decided to balance the budget on the backs of working people. The One Big Beautiful Bill Act cut nearly $200 billion from SNAP over the next decade, threatening food assistance for an estimated 22 million families. Georgia is among the states hardest hit by new work requirements and cost-sharing mandates.<ul><li>Fight to reverse SNAP cuts and restore the program’s ability to respond to economic downturns.</li><li>Oppose work requirements that penalize people who recently lost their jobs or can only find part-time work.</li><li>Protect school meal programs and summer EBT benefits for children.</li><li>Restore funding for SNAP Nutrition Education and Obesity Prevention programs.</li></ul>
