I want to work for you

My name is Barbara Gooby, and I am running in 2026 for Georgia State Senate, District 1.  If you don't know what district you're in, go to MyVoterPage.  You can also register to vote on MyVoterPage.  The registration deadline for the May primaries is Mon., April 13, so be sure to sign up before then!

​

I'm running as a Democrat -- but not to BE a Democrat!  I'm running to represent YOU.  I've been attending city & town council and county commission meetings.  I'm also meeting with local organizations and community leaders, and I look forward to meeting you as well!

​​

Your voice is important to me

I believe that in order to represent you, I need to hear from you.  I pledge to hold town hall meetings before, during, and after each legislative session.  I'll also keep you informed via an online newsletter.  You can contact me at Gooby4GA@gmail.com and on social media.

 

Years ago, before gerrymandering got as bad as it is now, our elected officials were responsible -- and responsive -- to us, the residents in their districts.  I will bring this ethic back and represent you -- not corporations, not a political party, and certainly not myself!

I'm fighting for working families to...

  • increase the minimum wage to a livable wage

  • create more, steady jobs

    • training and apprenticeships in the trades​

    • support small- and medium-sized local businesses

    • jobs addressing environmental health/climate change

  • make access to medical & mental health care easy & affordable

  • ensure workers and our families have a healthy environment in which to work and live

  • secure your rights to workplace safety

  • require corporations to invest in their workers through training and assistance in finding new jobs as needed

  • require corporations to invest in our community

  • eliminate the "right to work" (for whatever wage the company will pay) laws and encourage/support labor unions

​​​

I'm also fighting for...

  • Better infrastructure​

    • address our diminishing access to clean water​

    • address coastal flooding and drainage issues

    • address emergency management needs for hurricanes, etc.

    • better planning for traffic/roadway issues

    • expanded public transportation

  • Expanded voting rights 

    • fair redistricting so your vote counts as much as anyone else's​

    • reduce increasingly harsh restrictions on who may vote

  • Affordable housing (e.g., renters' tax credits)​

  • Improved reading & math scores in public schools

  • Reproductive freedom

  • Common sense gun laws to stem gun violence

  • Your civil rights (1st Amendment, LGBTQ+, et al.)
