I’m running to be the next Governor of Georgia.
As a former teacher, small business owner, dad, and state senator, I’ve seen Georgia’s potential because I’ve lived it. Georgia families are just looking for a fair shot.
I’m Jason Esteves, and I know that together we can build a better Georgia.

The Senate ‘deal’ is nothing more than a surrender to Trump’s reckless and cruel agenda that will rip away healthcare from millions of Georgians. I am outraged that Trump is using starving children and families as political pawns—all while Kemp refuses to grow a backbone and stand up for Georgians.

For Trump and his cronies, the cruelty is the point. While the Trump administration refuses to fund SNAP, our state leaders are failing to step up and fill the gap. Kemp— fund food assistance now.

It has been 9 days since I called on Governor Kemp to release emergency funds for SNAP. Families in Georgia are left in limbo, unsure how much aid they’ll get or when it’ll arrive. Meanwhile, Kemp sits on a $14.6 billion surplus.

Turnout is heavier than expected in Atlanta this morning, but the line at my polling location was moving quickly! Georgians are tired of high power bills and not having a voice on the PSC.
That changes today. Get out and vote for Alicia Johnson and Peter Hubbard today!

80 of Georgia’s 159 counties lack a full-time OBGYN. Mothers have to travel over an hour or more just to get prenatal care. It’s unacceptable.
As governor, I’ll expand maternal healthcare access so mothers and babies can get the care they need.

Millions of Georgia families will suffer when SNAP benefits run out on Saturday — and Governor Kemp is sitting on a $14.6 billion surplus instead of tackling the crisis.
As governor, I’ll take immediate action to lower costs to keep Georgia families from going hungry.

Republicans’ refusal to extend ACA subsidies will hurt working families and devastate Georgia’s economy. Soon, we could lose:
➡️ 36,000 jobs
➡️ Health coverage for 460,000 Georgians
This isn’t fiscal responsibility, it’s cruelty.
