Michael Corbin for
Georgia House 97.
Bringing focused solutions for safety and education to Gwinnett County.
Commonsense Leadership.
I'm Michael Corbin, your Republican Georgia State House District 97 candidate. As a businessman with solid roots in Georgia and a lifelong advocate for our community, I understand the importance of responsible government spending and growth in our county and state.
My family and I are proud to call Peachtree Corners our home. I am a father of two children, and my wife Valerie is a public school teacher in our district. I am deeply invested in our community's safety and prosperity. My perspective shapes my commitment to enhancing public safety and educational opportunities for every child in our district.
My journey from Duluth High School to the University of Georgia, where I earned a degree in Political Science and International Affairs, was marked by working with diverse groups to achieve common goals.
Professionally, my 20-year career in technology business development has been a testament to the power of teamwork. I've led teams to innovate and solve complex problems, always emphasizing collaboration.
Teamwork is at the heart of my community service, from organizing neighborhood events to providing direct aid to those in need in Norcross. I'm passionately engaged in our community, serving as a deacon on the Peachtree Corners Baptist Church mission committee. I'm proud to be on the Board of Directors for Neighborhood Cooperative Ministries.
Together, we can tackle the challenges facing District 97 and ensure our community thrives.
Endorsed By Governor Kemp
Under the Governor's leadership, Georgia has set economic milestones in job creation and investment. As a state legislator, I will help Governor Kemp focus on combating inflation, enhancing public safety, and reforming education.
Solutions To Secure Georgia's Future.
Prioritize Education
As the husband of a public school teacher, my children are public school students in our district. I deeply understand the critical need to invest in Georgia's education system.
I am committed to:
- Raising teacher pay ensures our educators are valued and compensated fairly for their dedication.
- Increasing classroom funding to provide teachers with adequate teaching resources.
- Expanding educational opportunities so every student can access a quality education regardless of their financial background.
Education is not a one-size-fits-all endeavor, especially when preparing our children for the future. We have a responsibility to our children and the future of our state to ensure that the education system provides high-quality learning opportunities that cater to every student's diverse academic needs and abilities.
Safeguard Communities
In light of escalating crime rates in nearby Atlanta, the urgency to fortify public safety, especially in our schools, has never been greater. As a father, I feel this urgency and fiercely support local law enforcement. I am committed to giving them the resources and backing to safeguard our community effectively.
My top priority is to ensure that our schools are the safest buildings in the state, creating secure environments where our children can learn and grow without fear.
This isn't just about policy; it's about protecting our children's future, making Gwinnett County a beacon of safety and prosperity through proactive measures and community support.
Strengthen The Economy
I know families are struggling with higher grocery bills, higher gas prices, and runaway inflation. I am committed to providing families with the financial relief they need. I will support measures to control rising state and property taxes while ensuring public education is fully funded.
The good news is that Georgia's economy is thriving, marked by record-low unemployment rates and an influx of companies relocating to our state nationwide. Nevertheless, we are confronted with significant hurdles posed by supply chain disruptions, inflationary pressures, and workforce shortages.
I am committed to leveraging my business proficiency to fortify Georgia's economic foundation. My strategic approach involves streamlining regulations, implementing tax reductions, and advocating for expanding our ports, to increase and sustain economic growth and prosperity for our state.
Improve Healthcare
Healthcare costs continue to spiral out of control. Many Georgia residents face shortages in care and limited access to specialists, preventing them from receiving the quality care they deserve. I will seek innovative solutions to control runaway costs, increase healthcare access, and relieve Georgians burdened by healthcare costs.
I will lead major legislative initiatives to improve Georgians' health, safety, and well-being while preserving individual freedoms.
My approach to healthcare in Georgia seeks to balance market competition, government oversight, affordability, and individual responsibility. I aim to ensure access to high-quality care while maintaining fiscal sustainability.
I will work to lower costs for patients and employers by requiring health insurers to disclose negotiated drug rebates and discounts, revealing the actual costs of drugs.
Safeguard Technology
We MUST protect our children and all citizens of Georgia. The safety and security of online platforms MUST be a priority. Michael is no stranger to the world of technology, spending 20 years in the industry. We cannot allow "Big Tech" to interfere with free speech or negatively impact our everyday choices, the safety of our children, and election integrity. The Federal Government has been slow to act by not repealing Section 230 of The Telecommunications Decency Act of 1996, which protects online platforms with basic immunity. If they are not held accountable, the industry will continue to put our safety and security at risk for their financial gain. The State of Georgia will take immediate action with Michael's leadership under the gold dome.
