2026 Candidates

For the upcoming election, GEEARS reached out to candidates for Georgia House, Georgia Senate, and U.S. House of Representatives to submit an answer to the following question: 

Georgia is often touted as the best state to do business. How would you ensure that it is also the best place to raise young children? 

Below, you can learn more about the candidates running for these offices and read responses from more than 100 candidates who answered our question. You can confirm your State House and Senate districts, as well as U.S. House district, by going to My Voter Page.

Note: As a 501(c)(3) charity, GEEARS does not endorse any candidate. Our mission is to educate the public and candidates about the issues that impact young children and their families.  

Candidate responses were published as they were received and not edited for clarity, spelling, punctuation, or grammar.

*The GEEARS team did their best to reach any qualified candidate in a State Senate, State House, or U.S. House race for the upcoming November general election. However, publicly available contact information or social media accounts were not available for all candidates. If you are a candidate and would like to participate, please reach out to Jessica Woltjen at jwoltjen@geears.org.
