$450 Million Stolen From Georgia Workers Every Year

Georgia's Labor Commissioner should be fighting for you—not just shuffling paperwork. Workers face wage theft, poverty wages, and a system rigged against them. We need a Commissioner who will advocate, not just administrate.

Stop Wage Theft & Enforce Laws

$450 million stolen annually from Georgia workers.

Employers steal overtime, pay below minimum, force unpaid work. I lived it. I'll create a dedicated enforcement unit to recover wages, investigate violations, and hold employers accountable—especially big corporations exploiting workers.

Fight for Fair Wages

Georgia's minimum wage: $5.15.

Workers only get $7.25 because federal law forces it. No one can survive on that. I'll publicly pressure the legislature to raise it, advocate for living wages, and make sure workers at least GET the $7.25 they're legally owed.

Protect ALL Workers

Gaps in Georgia law leave thousands of workers unprotected.

No harassment recourse. Misclassification loopholes everywhere. I survived harassment and wage theft with no legal options. I'll fight for comprehensive statewide protections and close loopholes that let employers—especially big corporations—dodge accountability.
