<h2 style="text-align: center;">Bring the Fight to DC</h2>This race is the most important Democratic Primary of 2026; it’s a flagship contest in the preservation of our democracy. After 50 years in elected office, our congressman has been dubbed “Exhibit A for Term Limits”: he is absent in the district, misses votes in Congress and hasn’t even voted in regular elections at home. His absence is not neutral--it's a threat to our democracy. <h4>We can defeat Trump's authoritarian takeover, but it requires leaders in Congress who have the will to fight back and deliver.</h4>Everton represents a new generation of Georgia leadership, one grounded in community, guided by faith, and driven by results. Whether in the classroom or on the School Board, he has never waited for permission to stand up for what is right. That is the integrity and determination that we desperately need in Washington.

<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 Congressman doesn’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>My career reflects a lifelong instinct: if something’s broken, you fix it. Congress is broken, and I'm running so we can change that. </h3><h2>...Change Can't Wait!</h2>

<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 who built their lives on faith, hard work, and community.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.

<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.

Everton Blair, former chairman of the Gwinnett County Board of Education, announces his candidacy for the United States House of Representatives in Georgia’s 13th Congressional District today. A lifelong resident of the redrawn district, Everton will bring new energy to Congress and be more visible and accessible to the people of the district. “I am running for Congress because it is time for the next generation to step up and correct the direction that this country is headed…” said Blair. “Change can’t wait, and Democrats need a new bench of leaders who are committed to solving real problems for regular, working people.” Blair has a strong background in public service. In 2018, he made history as the first Black and youngest-ever board chair and board member to be elected to the Gwinnett County Board of Education. As chairman of the board, he led the school district during the pandemic – overseeing the district’s superintendent transition, budget expansion, COVID-19 response and annual reaccreditation. Before the board, he taught high school math in Atlanta Public Schools, coached superintendents across the country and served as a Policy Fellow in President Obama's White House Initiative on Educational Excellence. After his board service, he went to complete a doctorate at Harvard University in Education Leadership with a focus on government and civic partnerships. Blair also holds a Bachelor’s Degree in Applied Mathematics from Harvard College and a Master’s Degree in Policy and Organizational Leadership from Stanford University. “With so much falling apart under this administration, we need more representatives who are in touch with reality and have the courage to fight for our future. The leaders who got us into this mess are not the ones that are going to get us out of it. ” said Blair. “I am asking for your support so that I can fight for you and your family in Washington.” The 13th Congressional District is a diverse district that includes all or portions of Clayton, Dekalb, Gwinnett, Henry, Newton and Rockdale counties. The district is currently represented by David Scott, a 79-year-old Democrat who has served in elected office for 50 years and recently lost his ranking seniority. The Democratic primary election will be held on May 19, 2026. ### For inquiries: <a href="mailto:contact@evertonblair.com">contact@evertonblair.com</a>

GEORGIA - July 2, 2025 - Everton Blair, Democratic primary candidate for U.S. Congress in Georgia’s 13th Congressional district, announced today that the campaign raised over $227K in the second quarter of 2025, with contributions from over 900 individual donors and not a single dollar from corporate PACs.“Every dollar we raised came from individuals who believe it’s time to put working people ahead of wealthy corporations and special interests," said Everton Blair. “Folks know that Change Can’t Wait. The people of Georgia’s 13th face rising costs of living and life-threatening cuts to healthcare. Our current Congressman simply does not meet this moment with the urgency and leadership it demands. We need and deserve a Democratic leader who will finally put an end to the Trump agenda and substantively work to make our lives better.”Everton Blair is challenging 12-term Democratic incumbent Congressman David Scott, who has served in elected office now for over 50 years. This Q2 haul, is a major show of strength for Blair, positioning the campaign as a frontrunner in one of the most closely watched primary challenges to a Democratic incumbent in the country.&nbsp;Blair is committed to delivering more innovative, accountable leadership to the Democratic party that will relentlessly defend our freedoms and economic opportunities. He is running on a platform to build an economy that works for all: lowering the cost of living, protecting healthcare as a human right, and expanding access to quality education and good-paying jobs.“This race is not about age. It is about who will fight for working people and who will not, who is bought by special interests and who’s not.
