Today I'm announcing for Georgia Labor Commissioner. You can't prosecute your way out of poverty. The real fight is helping families BEFORE they hit crisis—jobs, childcare, training. Stay tuned for how we can win WiseForThePeople.com #WiseForThePeople #NewDealForGeorgia

GA's Labor Commissioner @BRHforGeorgia talks values. But where was she when GA had record job cuts? Where is she on tariffs closing small businesses? Where is she on raising wages? GA workers don't need values talk. They need action. We need a New Deal. #WiseForThePeople

800 ft up operating a crane at IUOE Local 926. 4-yr apprenticeship. 8,000 hours. Earn while you learn. Best-kept secret in organized labor. As Labor Commissioner, I'll make sure working families know about these opportunities. Just the start. #NewDealForGeorgia #WiseForThePeople

While McAfee's race is nonpartisan - the main race takes place in late May, with a possible runoff in mid June - the DA's race does have partisan primaries. Willis will take on former prosecutor Christian Wise Smith in the Dem primary ajc.com/politics/fulto…

Today, I officially qualified for the office of Fulton County District Attorney. This decision was made with Fulton County residents at heart. In the coming weeks, I hope look forward to engaging the community and earning the vote in Fulton County.
