Rick Jackson Wants To Stop Human Trafficking. His Company Just Paid $3 Million to Settle a Trafficking Case.
His company settled a trafficking lawsuit involving 5,219 nurses and health care workers. His new plan never mentions labor trafficking at all.

An Alabama hospital was going bankrupt treating patients who couldn't pay. Rick Jackson's investment group loaned it $35 million at 14% interest, rising to 19% if missed, and made sure his firm got paid first. That's the guy running for Georgia governor while opposing Medicaid expansion.

His companies have collected over $1 billion in state contracts. His investment group loaned a bankrupt hospital $35 million at 14% interest. And he's a hard no on Medicaid expansion.

Georgia is 5th in the country for ICE arrests. In a recent sweep, ICE arrested 1,226 people in Atlanta. 506 of them had no criminal charges at all. 55+ GA counties now hold 287(g) agreements with ICE, among the highest totals in the country. @nabilahislamparkes.bsky.social shares how we got here.

The President is openly calling to kill an entire population. This is illegal, horrific and should be denounced by everyone regardless of party affiliation. It’s clear the President is unfit to serve and has no goals of finding peace. When will Republicans stand up and hold him accountable?

Healthcare is more than a political debate. It’s life and death – and in Georgia our healthcare system is failing our families. When I’m Lieutenant Governor, I’m going to focus our Senate’s attention on making healthcare more affordable and better for hardworking Georgia families.

People are being denied and delayed for mental healthcare they're legally owed, and the Commissioner is issuing fines that amount to a rounding error for insurance companies. When I'm Insurance Commissioner, I will enforce Georgia's Mental Health Parity Act to the fullest extent. That's my promise!

The insurance industry has rigged the system in Georgia for too long, and John King has let them. My 4-bill insurance reform package would require approval for rate hikes, stop discriminatory pricing, and ban revolving-door lobbyists. Georgians deserve a Commissioner who does the job. Read more:

I just filed 4 bills to take the power back from insurance companies and put it where it belongs - with Georgia families.

Nabilah Parkes @nabilahislamparkes.bsky.social · 16/02/2026
Insurance companies like to claim ZIP code pricing is about "actuarial data." In reality, it's about charging people more based on where they live instead of how they drive. This is modern day redlining. My bill SB 506 bans it. Other states already have. Georgia is next.

You can't effectively regulate an industry if you're planning to go work for it when you leave. My bill SB 504 bans former Insurance Commissioners from lobbying the Department of Insurance for 5 years after leaving office. Regulators should work for the public, not the insurance companies.

Georgia insurance companies have been unchecked for years. I'm introducing 4 bills to change that: ✅ SB 505 - No rate hikes without approval ✅ SB 506 - End ZIP code pricing ✅ SB 507 - Ban credit score pricing ✅ SB 504 - Stop regulators from becoming lobbyists It’s time to take our power back!

It's not enough to fine insurance companies for breaking mental health parity laws. John King stopped at the fine. I won't. As your Insurance Commissioner, I'll push to direct funds to community programs that help families recover and heal. That's pro-family leadership.

Congress has left the National Flood Insurance Program on the brink, again. Nearly 80,000 Georgia homeowners depend on this coverage to protect their families and their futures, and it expires tomorrow, Jan 30. This repeated crisis puts real people at risk. Congress needs to act NOW.

It’s clear that Insurance Commissioner John King has failed to protect us from predatory insurance prices. Even the Republican Chairman, Matt Hatchett, agrees that insurance companies are abusing us.

Insurance Commissioner John King admits he doesn’t want the regulatory authority to fight against rate hikes from greedy insurance companies and that’s because he’s an insurance puppet. If King is too much of a coward to do his job, he can just give it to me and I’ll do it.

Tonight is the last night of open enrollment and too many Georgians still can't afford health coverage. That's why I co-sponsored SB379 to use state subsidies to lower insurance premiums and healthcare costs. Georgians deserve a healthcare system that works for them, not the insurance companies.

For 4 years, John King let insurance companies ignore our mental health law. They kept denying care and overcharging us. He only started fining them AFTER I announced my run against him. Too late. He failed us, and in November, we're firing him!

From health insurance to home/auto coverage, Georgians are facing an affordability crisis.

My goal as Insurance Commissioner is simple: lower costs for everyday Georgians. I’m glad the House passed the ACA subsidies extension, which will lower health insurance premiums. Meanwhile, John King has never supported extending the subsidies that help 1 million Georgians afford coverage.
