Platform | Jay Morris for Georgia

Education

Education is the key to opportunity, but Georgia's schools are underfunded, and too many students are burdened with debt. We must invest in education at every level to give the next generation the tools to succeed. I will fight to:

Raise teacher pay so educators are respected and rewarded for the vital work they do.
Reduce class sizes so every child gets the attention they deserve.
Expand access to technical colleges, apprenticeships, and skill trades.
Create a debt relief program for students entering critical careers like teaching, nursing, and public Safety.

Voting Rights

Democracy only works when every Georgian has fair and equal access to the ballot. We need to ensure that no one official, especially one running for elected office, has unchecked power over elections, and that voter rolls are accurate without unfairly purging eligible voters. I will fight to:

Limit conflict of interest: If the Secretary of State is running for any election, they must step aside from election oversight to avoid any appearance of bias or self-interest.
Regulate voter purging: Ensure that any removal of voters from registration rolls follows a transparent, fair process with sufficient warning, appeal rights, and oversight to protect young, mobile, and minority voters, those most at risk of wrongful removal.
Push for same-day voter registration for all eligible Georgians.

Housing For All

Every Georgian deserves a safe and affordable place to call home. But right now, too many families are being priced out by skyrockingrents and corporate investor I will fight to:

Launch a Georgia Housing Now plan to build and expand affordable units.
Expand tax credits for renters and first-time homebuyers.
Crack down on predatory landlords and corporate out-of-state investors driving up costs.

Public Safety & Justice

Every Georgian deserves to feel safe in their community and trust that the justice system is fair. Public safety should mean protecting families while upholding equal justice under the law.

Invest in community policing, first responders, and public safety technology.
Expand mental health services as alternatives to incarceration.
End cash bail for non-violent offenders while keeping violent criminals off the streets.
Pass common-sense firearm laws: background checks, closing loopholes, and keeping guns out of the hands of dangerous individuals, while protecting the rights of responsible gun owners.
Legalize marijuana in Georgia.

Economic Growth and Jobs

Georgia's Economy is strong, but too many working families are being left behind. It's time to build an economy where workers and small businesses thrive, not just big corporations. I will fight to:

Raise the state minimum wage to a livable wage.
Support small businesses with tax relief and start-up grants.
Attract clean energy and advanced manufacturing jobs to the state of Georgia.
Reforming Georgia's tax system into a more progressive model: middle-class families and small businesses pay less, while the wealthiest and big corporations pay more.

Infrastructure for the Future

As Georgia's population grows, our infrastructure must keep up. Families, businesses, and communities can't thrive if our roads are clogged, our bridges are crumbling, and our internet is too slow. I will fight to:

Upgrade roads, bridges, and public transit to meet the needs of a growing Georgia.
Expand High-speed broadband access to every community, rural and urban.
Invest in clean energy infrastructure to power Georgia's growth for the next generation.
