Economy
The cost of living is too high. We must tackle the systems enabling the greed and corruption that has made life unaffordable. I will fight for an economic agenda that puts people over profit.
In Congress, Everton will fight for
A People-First Agenda
Everton is a homegrown fighter who will champion a bold and progressive People-First Agenda for the people of Georgia’s 13th district.

Healthcare
Healthcare is a human right, not a privilege. It's time for Medicare for All. No one in the world’s wealthiest nation should have to choose between life-saving medical care and keeping a roof over their head.
Education
As a lifelong student and educator, I believe strong schools are the bedrock for strong communities. Every child should have access to quality education and career pathways no matter their zip code.
You deserve a home you can afford. We must fight to crack down on predatory lending, support renter protections, and make it easier for first-time homebuyers to buy and keep homes.
No one should have to choose between earning a paycheck and caring for their loved ones. I will fight for an affordable care economy that supports families and care workers at every stage of life.
Workers and unions are the the backbone of our economy. Every worker deserves a living wage, the freedom to organize, and a safe work environment. I will fight for expanded paid family leave, living wages, job training, workplace safety, and the right to organize.
The climate crisis isn't just a future threat, it’s already here. I’ll fight for a transition to a green economy that prioritizes the health and pockets of working families over corporate profits.
Technologies like artificial intelligence and blockchain have real potential to make government more transparent, classrooms more effective, and everyday life more affordable. But only if we write the rules and regulations that work for working people.
I will be a fierce defender of reproductive freedom. The health and bodily autonomy of every American is under a coordinated, authoritarian attack. We must do what we should have done long ago: codify reproductive rights.
As Georgia's first LGBTQ+ member of Congress and the first openly Black gay member of Congress from the South, I will be a strong fighter for LGBTQ+ rights. Identity should never be a barrier to respect, love, healthcare, or opportunity.
Our immigration system is broken, and Trump’s cruel and inhumane immigration agenda made it worse. We need a well-resourced, transparent, and efficient immigration system that prioritizes due process and human dignity.
Free & Fair Elections
Elected officials are elected by and for the people, not billionaires and corporate donors. We must fight to protect the sacred right to vote and get big money out of politics.
In Congress, I would fight for comprehensive, common sense gun reform. As an educator, I saw the fear and trauma that gun violence inflicts on our children. We must treat gun violence as the public health crisis that it is.
