2019-20 GA special Senate race: on Welfare & Poverty


Raphael Warnock: Created community financial literacy center

Warnock: I believe in our free enterprise system, and my dad was a small business owner. During the Great Recession I was leading my church to build a community center, where we had a financial literacy center that taught people how to repair their credit, how to create a business, how to buy a home, how to participate in our free enterprise system. Kelly Loeffler, on the other hand, was teaching the big banks how to hide their investments offshore in the Cayman Islands.

Raphael Warnock: COVID exacerbates inequality in economics & health care

Inequality in economics and health care multiplies in the midst of a crisis. These are tragic consequences that people in Black and brown and rural and poor communities experience every day, compounded and exacerbated by problems like COVID-19. It's no secret that a lack of access to health care and other economic challenges have resulted in a higher incidence of chronic illnesses that make individuals more likely to become seriously ill, and ultimately die, from coronavirus.
