In their own words

Josh McLaurin

WebsiteBallotpedia
  • Cost of living
    Republicans have handed billions in tax breaks to corporations while child care, housing, and local services go underfunded. Josh will push to reinvest state revenues into the needs of working families rather than padding the pockets of oligarchs and billionaires.
  • Labor
    Georgia’s “right to work” laws make it harder for workers to organize and negotiate for fair wages and safe conditions. Josh will stand with labor to protect the right to organize and ensure that working people, not corporations, are the heroes of our economy.
  • Civil rights
    Republicans in Georgia are launching an assault on Black voting rights and equality under the law. And Georgia is one of only three states without comprehensive state civil rights laws. Josh is committed to passing laws that prohibit against discrimination of all kinds and ensure minority voting power is protected.
  • Health care / Medicaid
    Georgia’s failure to expand Medicaid has shuttered hospitals and left half a million Georgians uninsured. Josh will fight to expand coverage and make care accessible in every corner of the state.
  • Abortion
    Georgia’s deadly 6-week abortion ban is one of the most extreme in the country. Josh voted against it in 2019 and will work to overturn the ban. Personal health decisions should remain between patients and their doctors.
  • Housing
    Georgia has the highest percentage of private equity ownership of multifamily units in the country. Out-of-state corporations who snatch up real estate here don’t care about our communities. Josh will fight to restore the American Dream by making homes affordable and accessible to individual Georgians.

  • Property taxes
    You shouldn't have to pay rent to the government to live in your own home. Rising property values shouldn't mean ever-increasing tax bills. And once you turn 65, you've paid your dues. Your school taxes should go away.
  • Income taxes
    Georgia has the highest income tax rate in the Southeast, while neighboring states have none. By cutting waste and eliminating corporate handouts, we can put government on a diet and move toward zero. Georgians deserve to keep more of what they earn.
  • School choice
    Parents, not bureaucrats, should be in charge of their children's education. Greg authored the broadest school choice bill in Georgia history. Every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of income or zip code.
  • Abortion
    Life begins at conception and must be protected. Greg proudly supported Georgia's heartbeat bill. He will continue to fight for pro-life policies that defend the unborn.
  • Second Amendment
    “Shall not be infringed” is clear. Greg is a strong defender of the right to self-defense and gun ownership. His record has earned him an A+ rating from the NRA.
  • Data centers
    Politicians have handed billions in tax breaks to big tech data centers. Greg is the only Lt. Governor candidate who voted against these giveaways in the Senate. He also fought to ensure data centers pay their fair share for power infrastructure, not pass costs on to families.
  • Elections
    Confidence in elections is essential to democracy. Greg has led on election integrity, co-sponsoring more paper ballot legislation than any member of the General Assembly. He supports eliminating Dominion machines and restoring trust in the system.
  • Immigration
    A nation without borders is not a nation. Greg supports strong enforcement of immigration laws, mass deportations, and policies that prioritize American citizens. If you enter the country illegally, you should be sent home.
