GA-GOV: Democratic state Sen. Jason Esteves announces election bid to run for Georgia governor

ATLANTA - Georgia state Sen. Jason Esteves announced Monday that he will run for governor next year.

The Atlanta Democrat was elected to the Senate in 2022 and is serving his second term under the Gold Dome. Before that, he spent nearly a decade as a member of the Board of Education for Atlanta Public Schools.

Esteves has made education, health care, and housing his top priorities in the Senate

"As extreme politicians in Georgia push (President Donald) Trump's reckless agenda and rig the system for special interests, Georgians pay the price," Esteves said Monday in a prepared statement. "Now more than ever, we need to tackle the high cost of living, improve access to health care, protect women's reproductive freedom, lower housing costs, and invest in schools across the state."
