God 1st! Husband, Dad, Author, Non-Profit Founder, Attorney, & Candidate for Georgia Labor Commissioner. Striving for Justice! #WiseForThePeople

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

Georgia led the NATION in layoffs at the start of 2026. The minimum wage is still $5.15. And the Labor Commissioner has been silent.
Not anymore. I'm officially on the ballot. 🗳️

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

[Bárbara Rivera Holmes @BRHforGeorgia]

Conservative values and policies are what allow our state to grow and create opportunity, no matter the zip code.

As Georgia Labor Commissioner, I am ensuring those same values fuel our mission at the Department of Labor.

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.

DAY 7 OF 7: WHY I'M RUNNING

You can't prosecute your way out of poverty. I grew up in poverty. Filed for unemployment. See this from the kitchen table.

This race is about whether government works for working families.

DAY 6 OF 7: HEALTHCARE JOBS

When hospitals close, hundreds of jobs disappear—EMTs, housekeeping, lab techs.
The Labor Commissioner can coordinate a rapid response.
I have a Master's in Hospital Admin—I know this system.

DAY 5 OF 7: APPRENTICESHIPS

GA has massive labor shortages. People want those jobs but can't afford to stop working to train.

Solution: Apprenticeships, where you earn while you learn.

The Labor Commissioner can coordinate this.

DAY 3 OF 7: THE CHILDCARE CRISIS

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 https://t.co/rx4SBQG8tp

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.
