This week, history was made in New York City. Voters elected Zohran Mamdani, a mayor who believes government should work for everyday people — with affordable housing, free public transit, universal childcare, and fair wages at the heart of his plan.

His victory is more than a win for New York. It’s a signal that bold, compassionate leadership works, and that people everywhere are ready for policies that lift families up instead of leaving them behind.

Here in Georgia, we face many of the same challenges: Soaring housing costs, childcare that’s out of reach, and wages that don’t keep up with the cost of living, but like Mayor Mamdani, I believe we can take on these challenges, and we can do it the Georgia way.

* Childcare Families Can Rely On

We can make childcare affordable and accessible with state support for working parents and small businesses.

* Good Jobs with Dignity

It’s time to raise wages so every Georgian who works hard can afford to live and thrive here.

* Fair Taxes & Responsible Growth

When everyone, including large corporations, pays their fair share, we can invest in schools, transit, and communities across our state.

* Affordable Homes for Working Families

Let’s expand affordable and workforce housing so that teachers, nurses, and first responders can live where they serve.

Zohran Mamdani’s election shows what’s possible when people come together around fairness, community, and hope.

I believe that Georgia can be next, a state where opportunity and compassion go hand in hand. If you share that vision, I invite you to stand with me. Together, we can build a Georgia that works for all of us.

With gratitude and determination,

Michelle Kang— Democratic Candidate for Georgia House District 99
