$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

Millions stolen from workers who can't fight back. I lived it. I'll stop it.

Fight for Fair Wages

Georgia's minimum wage: $5.15. No one can survive on that. Major corporations must lead the way.

Real Advocacy

The Commissioner's office should use its voice and platform to demand justice for workers.

Years of Waiting Ends Now

Georgia has never elected a Hispanic American to statewide office. For 192 years, there has been no Hispanic representation despite a growing population of over 1 million. With approximately 1 million Hispanic residents across Georgia, it's time our voices are heard.

“It's 2026. It's Georgia's turn.”
