Climate change is an existential threat facing our planet.
In 2021 alone, six weather-related disasters impacted Georgia, resulting in over a billion dollars in damages. Climate-related hazards such as sea level rise & extreme heat will devastate communities if we don't act now.

These impacts are felt most by already economically disadvantaged communities. Over 500,000 coastal residents are vulnerable to flooding and extreme weather, while half a million Georgians dependent on farmland and timberland in South GA will see disruptions to their livelihoods.
Georgia also lags behind other states in taking action on clean energy and energy efficiency. My plan prepares and protects our state from immediate & future environmental threats, and ensures more Georgians have access to good-paying jobs in fields from manufacturing to coding.
My Georgia Thrives Plan will grow the economy and focus on putting money in Georgians’ pockets, supporting small businesses and real economic development — without raising taxes
Together we can build a thriving economy where every hardworking family can succeed.

Right now, minority-owned small businesses — including Blacks, Latinos, Asian Americans, Native Americans — account for only 12.2% of business revenues.
My administration will close the equity gap between minority and non-minority businesses in state contracts.
