Jason Esteves, a Democrat running for governor of Georgia, has been identified as an underdog in the upcoming Democratic primary on May 19, winning 14% of voters in a late-March 20/20 Insight poll compared to only 4% support in an early March Emerson College survey. Despite this, Eesteves remains far behind frontrunner Keisha Lance Bottoms, Atlanta's former mayor, with 32% of voter support. His campaign focuses on increasing healthcare access, universal childcare, reproductive rights, and education. A Democratic victory in November would mark the first time in over 20 years that a Republican has won the governor’s race in more than 20 years. Estevez's campaign goals are providing health, wealth and opportunity for Georgians, focusing on economic issues, healthcare, and making sure they have a brighter future than what they've had today.
