On Crime: Accountability courts fight recidivism

We are offering those who have made mistakes and are willing to work hard to correct them a second chance through our accountability courts. Individuals whose lives were once controlled by addictions are now able to reclaim forfeited potential, reconnect with their children, retain employment & contribute as taxpaying citizens, and restore hope for a brighter tomorrow. I am happy to report that every one of our 49 judicial circuits now has at least one type of accountability court in operation.

On Jobs: Full funding for technical education for jobs

We created a program, known as the HOPE Career Grant, which covers 100 percent of tuition for technical school students who enroll in one of Georgia's strategic industry, high-demand fields. 99.2% [of HOPE enrollees] find employment upon completion of their training and studies. I was proud to add five new categories to that incredibly successful program. We now have 17 specific fields that allow our employers to answer "yes" when I ask them whether they can find qualified candidates for open jobs.
