With the mid-term elections slated for November 8, 2022, Georgians have some monumental decisions to make ahead of them. One of the most important of these is deciding who the state will be sending as its representative to the U.S. Senate for the next tenure. There’s a bit of good news here though; voters won’t have to think too hard to make a decision this time around. If you’re wondering why, it’s because incumbent Senator Raphael Warnock is on the ballot again.
In the less than two years that this outstanding preacher has been in office, he has displayed a capacity to get results that are visibly lacking in many of his predecessors. Arguably the biggest instance that exemplifies this fact is that barely two months after winning the special election, Senator Reverend Warnock brought in more than $95 million for Georgia! Through identifying pressing problems in the state and making Congressionally-directed spending requests, he has been able to successfully address many pain points that have plagued the jurisdiction for years.
After doing so much in such little time, this esteemed individual said, “Georgians know best what the families and businesses in our state need, and after traveling around Georgia and listening to the needs of local workers, parents, leaders, medical professionals, law enforcement officers, small business owners and more, I’m proud I was able to secure these strong, economy-boosting investments for our state in the first step of the annual funding process. The tens of millions of dollars for Georgia in these draft bills is a testament to the importance of Georgians showing up and making their voices heard in our democracy, and I’m going to keep fighting for Georgia to make sure this robust funding stays in the final appropriations bill, gets over the finish line, and starts flowing to our state as quickly as possible.”
His statement implies that he realizes and accepts the fact that he’s in the service of the people. Unlike those who seek to pander to division and propagate hate at the expense of the welfare of their constituency, Warnock is more invested in shutting out the noise and working towards making the State of Georgia the very best it can be. Because the incumbent senator hasn’t messed up his priorities, he’s able to go all out and actually bring to reality all the promises that he made to voters in the state when he was contesting.
However, while Georgia is better now than it was before he emerged as senator, Warnock is still out there letting everyone know that things can get even better. The ultimate goal he has in mind for the state isn’t even anywhere near completion as yet. That’s why he felt compelled to put his name on the ballot once again. He sees the great potential in the state and is willing to put in the work to make it come true.
So, if given the chance to return to the Senate, Warnock plans to complete what he started in the state’s agricultural sector. He wants to make sure that Georgia continues to lead the nation in agricultural production by giving Black and minority farmers greater access to capital, equipment, and the other financial resources they might need to push production further.
The reverend is also a strong advocate of criminal justice reform, responsibly funding the police and giving everyone a fair shot. He believes that all of this will truly further the permeation of justice in the state and the country at large.
As the senator of Georgia for another term, he also plans to improve infrastructure in the education, health care, and economic sector.
His Georgia-first agenda is capable of bringing everyone together, regardless of ideology, religion, race, or color. After all that the state has been through, Georgians need a representative like Warnock to bring back the good times.
If he can do so much so quickly, the state would surely be a completely different place with Warnock as a full-term senator.
So, let’s vote for him to see that change!
