I didn’t arrive at this moment by accident. I’ve lived multiple sides of Georgia’s workforce, so I know how our systems feel from the inside and where they need to be fixed.

Why I’m Running for Georgia Labor Commissioner

<p><strong>I didn’t arrive at this moment by accident. </strong>My path here was shaped by the many roles I’ve lived in Georgia’s workforce, roles that gave me a front-row seat to how our systems actually function for everyday people. Through all of my experiences, I learned one thing clearly: Our systems don’t fail because people aren’t trying, they fail because they weren’t designed for regular people to succeed. Which is why I want to build a Georgia where work works for everyone.</p>

 Georgia statewide candidate, Nikki Porcher, shares what she witnessed inside the National Prayer Breakfast and how faith, money, and power intersect in politics.

What the National Prayer Breakfast Revealed About Power in Georgia

<p>When people learned I was running for office, they asked what office I was running for. Then they asked how they could support me. Some asked about maximum donation limits. Others mentioned political action committees. What they did not ask was why I was running. They did not ask what I believed. They did not ask why now. There was no curiosity about the work itself. There was no interview. <span style="color: var(--color-text-accent-primary); text-decoration-color: var(--color-text-accent-primary);"><strong>Support was assumed simply because I was in the room.</strong></span></p>

<h4>What the National Prayer Breakfast Revealed About Power<br></h4>

<p>Georgia cannot build a strong workforce while ignoring one of the biggest barriers keeping people from participating in it. Families should not have to spend most of their paycheck just to go to work. </p>

Write a short blurb about an issue your campaign is highlighting. Try to keep the text a similar size between the various issue blurbs.

<h2>Accessible and <br>Affordable Child Care</h2>

<p>Small businesses create jobs, strengthen local economies, and keep communities thriving. When small businesses succeed, workers benefit too. Supporting entrepreneurship and workforce growth together creates stronger local economies across Georgia.</p>
