Professional Licensing Reform

---

​Streamlined. Transparent. Empowering.

Hardworking Georgians shouldn’t have to wait months or battle bureaucracy just to do the jobs they’re trained for. My Professional Licensing Reform Plan simplifies the process, increases transparency, and gets qualified people back to work, faster.

From nurses and barbers to contractors and teachers, Georgia’s professionals deserve a fair and efficient licensing system. Unfortunately, outdated processes and inconsistent standards have made it difficult for many qualified individuals to start or continue their careers.

​I am committed to fixing that. My plan will:

1. Simplify and Modernize – Create a one-stop online licensing portal for every profession, with faster approval times and transparent tracking.
2. Promote Fairness – Ensure that all qualified applicants, regardless of income, location, or background, can access clear, affordable licensing options.
3. Expand Reciprocity – Recognize out-of-state licenses for skilled professionals moving to Georgia, helping families transition smoothly.
4. Increase Transparency – Publish clear timelines and progress reports for all licensing boards, so applicants know exactly where they stand.
5. Empower Workforce Growth – Partner with education and industry leaders to align licensing with the real needs of Georgia’s economy.

My approach makes the system work for people, not the other way around. It’s about restoring trust, promoting fairness, and helping Georgians get to work without unnecessary obstacles.
