Growing up the daughter of working-class immigrants in Gwinnett County, I watched my parents working hard to put food on the table. When my mother was injured at her warehouse job, I saw how our broken healthcare system lets families down. Ever since, I’ve been a staunch advocate for improving healthcare. As your Senator, I’ve fought for lowering the cost of raising a family as well as for fundamental freedoms like abortion rights. I passed a bill to protect our National Guard, and I’ve stood up for veterans. I’m proud to be the youngest woman ever elected to Georgia’s Senate. This year, I will become the first woman to give birth while serving.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Improving the lives of Georgia families is always top priority. That includes lowering housing costs, improving public schools, reducing taxes for working families, and supporting our small businesses.
• Lowering the cost of healthcare is also crucial. In 2023, I co sponsored a bill to expand Medicaid to ensure 400,000 more Georgians are able to receive the health care they deserve. This year Senate Democrats worked tirelessly to get a committee hearing on expanding Medicaid for the first time in 14 years. I won’t stop fighting to make sure vulnerable Georgians have access to healthcare.
• Protecting our fundamental freedoms, like the right to an abortion, the right to birth control, the right to vote, and the right to be safe from gun violence.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Expanding Medicaid, defending the right to an abortion, public schools, lowering costs for families, gun safety, voting rights, criminal justice reform and LGBTQ+ rights.

What qualities do you possess that you believe would make you a successful officeholder?

As the daughter of working-class immigrants from Bangladesh, I watched my parents work long hours and often multiple jobs just for ends to not always meet. I am proud of my upbringing as it taught me grit and empathy. These are qualities that I bring with me to the state Senate every day. In addition my work as a former staffer in local government has given me crucial insight in how to be an effective elected official that delivers results.

What committees interest you?

During my first session, I served on several important committees including Government Oversight, Science and Technology, State Institutions and Properties, and Veterans, Military, and Homeland Security. I was also proud to be elected Vice Chair of the Gwinnett County Senate delegation.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Raised right here in Gwinnett County, Nabilah Islam is a lifelong fighter, organizer, and community advocate dedicated to advancing Democratic causes and values. As the daughter of working-class immigrants from Bangladesh, Nabilah watched her parents work long hours to put food on the table. When she was in high school, her mother was injured at the warehouse she worked as an order puller. Nabilah saw firsthand the devastating effects our broken healthcare system can have on families. Since that moment, Nabilah has been a staunch advocate fighting for quality healthcare access and Medicaid expansion.

In 2020, Nabilah served as a Senior Advisor to the Gwinnett Democratic Party. During the critical Senate runoffs, Nabilah led an organization called Save Our Senate, which knocked on over 34,000 doors, turning out Black and Brown voters across Gwinnett for Senators Ossoff and Warnock. At the national level, Nabilah worked on Hillary Clinton’s 2016 Presidential Campaign and later at the Democratic National Committee. At the DNC, she helped raise millions of dollars that were sent back down to states across the South, flipping dozens of seats up and down the ballot in 2018.

Now, Nabilah is running because of the urgency of this moment in which we have to protect our voting rights, fully fund our schools, reverse the extreme GOP abortion ban, and expand healthcare.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• Protecting Abortion Rights
• Increasing Teacher Pay
• Keeping Our Communities Safe

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Healthcare and Education are the areas that I am passionate about. We need to expand healthcare access. Every American should have access to affordable, quality healthcare. Republicans in the state legislature have refused to expand Medicaid due to petty, partisan politics – leaving billions in federal funding on the table and hundreds of thousands of Georgians without care.I strongly believe that every single Georgian is entitled to quality, affordable healthcare. I will fight to lower drug costs, make healthcare more affordable, fully fund our public health agencies, and expand Medicaid.

We need to fully fund our public schools. The public schools are why they raised me in Gwinnett. Every child deserves a high-quality public education. I will never back down from fully funding our schools and fighting to make sure that every child can have the best education possible regardless of their neighborhood or their parent's income.

Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Nabilah Islam is a 30-year-old Bangladeshi American and proud progressive running to fix our broken healthcare system, end student debt, and fight for immigrants and working people. The daughter of working-class immigrants, Nabilah grew up watching her parents live paycheck to paycheck and work long hours to get by. In high school, Nabilah's mother herniated two discs working in a warehouse-and when the insurance company refused to cover her care, Nabilah helped her family navigate the legal process and force the insurers to pay. A proud graduate of Gwinnett County Public Schools, Nabilah's first jobs were at the Ingles Grocery Store and the Walmart in Lawrenceville. She is a Central Gwinnett High School graduate. Nabilah worked her way through Georgia State University at a retail store in Peachtree Corners, and after graduation, began working for local progressive candidates in Georgia. Like millions of Americans, Nabilah owes nearly $30,000 in student loans-and like nearly 20 percent of her district, she has no health insurance. Nabilah's running for Congress because she knows, firsthand, that incremental change doesn't work. Georgia's 7th needs bold, progressive solutions: Medicare for All, student loan forgiveness, and an economy that actually works for working people.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

• I am running to make sure everyone in our district has healthcare. Healthcare is a fundamental human right and cost should never prevent someone from seeking.
• I am running to make sure working people making living wages. Growing up I watched my parents struggling to make ends meet, no one should live to paycheck to paycheck struggling to survive in this working class district. An honest days worth of work deserves an honest days worth of pay. One job should be enough.
• I am running to end systemic racism in our immigration and criminal justice system. Gwinnett County has the deportation rates in the state and one the largest pre-trial detention centers in the country all because people cannot afford cash bail. We need to end archaic immigration policies that separate families instead of uniting them and end cash bail which prevents so many from being with their loved ones.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

We need to do more than fix the broken ACA that's been gutted by Donald Trump and the GOP and we must do more than expand Medicaid. Individuals should never fall between the coverage gap and income should not preclude you from quality care. We need a universal healthcare system that affords every single American basic, comprehensive, quality coverage. Regardless of age, gender, or whether you have a pre-existing condition or not.

When I am elected to be your next Congresswoman, I vow to work tirelessly, to make sure every single person in this district has healthcare and promise to sign any piece of legislation that would expand coverage to this district and Americans everywhere. I will not stop until all 135,000 in this district and all Americans are covered.

We need a living wage. Wages have not increased since 2009 and our buying power decreases every year. $20 worth of groceries in 2009 costs more than $30 today and wages remain stagnant. In GA-07 the median rent is $1244. That means if you're renting a one bedroom apartment and making minimum wage you are about $100 short every month on your rent.

When I'm in Congress, I will fight to ensure a path to citizenship for the 11 million undocumented immigrants currently residing in this country. That means reinstating and strengthening DACA, DAPA, and TPS orders immediately. We have to stop deporting immigrants who have been in our country for decades without incident, and instead focus on resettlement programs.

What characteristics or principles are most important for an elected official?

Integrity- Be Your Word.

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards, State legislative scorecards in Georgia

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.
