The cost of living is the #1 concern for Georgia families. With gas prices climbing and everyday necessities becoming more expensive, families are feeling the squeeze. You should never have to choose between a doctor’s visit and childcare, or between groceries and the power bill. Carlos Vilela will fight to:

• Protect Homeownership: Stop corporate speculators from buying up single-family homes and driving up prices in our neighborhoods.

Lower Daily Costs: Combat price gouging and advocate for policies that put more money back in the pockets of working families.

True affordability requires an economy that creates good-paying jobs right here in District 42. Carlos believes our tax system should reward hard work, not just political connections.

Carlos Vilela is committed to:

• Middle-Class Tax Relief: Cutting taxes for working families and small businesses who actually need the help.

Ending Corporate Giveaways: Ensuring massive corporations and the "politically connected" lose their insider tax breaks and finally pay their fair share.

Personal medical decisions are just that: personal. Carlos Vilela has made protecting reproductive healthcare a top priority because a woman’s health should be decided by her and her doctor—not by extremist politicians in the General Assembly. He will stand as a firewall against government interference in our most private lives.

Education is the engine of our state’s future, and that engine starts early. Carlos knows that brain development doesn't wait for kindergarten.

Carlos will fight to:

• Expand Georgia’s Pre-K: Ensure every child has access to a quality head start.

Defend the HOPE Scholarship: Fiercely protect our merit-based aid so that a college degree is never out of reach because of a student's zip code or bank account.

Public safety is about more than just enforcement; it’s about a justice system that people can trust. Carlos will ensure our legal system delivers fairness, accountability, and genuine security for all neighborhoods. He is committed to keeping our courthouse doors open to all and ensuring our judiciary remains impartial and apolitical.

Carlos Vilela isn't afraid to take on the MAGA extremists who threaten our way of life. Whether it’s standing up to Donald Trump or his allies under the Gold Dome, Carlos is ready to fight for our fundamental rights, our freedoms, and the integrity of our elections. Our democracy is not for sale, and our votes will not be silenced.
