I am Nate Green. A hard worker and advocate who has specialized in transportation and logistics for the past 19 years and is dedicated to equitable opportunities for everyone. I Ama family man who was recently married to my beautiful wife Brenda. I have served as executive and senior pastors for diverse ministries. I have served as policy advisor for the 5th Congressional District of Georgia where I made sure your concerns were heard. I have forged and reinforced relationships within all levels of government positioning myself to be able to get legislation passed in a unified, bipartisan manner while remaining true to your, mine, our values. I am here to work for you!
  • I believe in equitable access to education, finance, healthcare, comprehensive and robust senior services, reproductive rights, youth protection and advocacy, and government transparency. While serving as policy advisor for the 5th Congressional District of Georgia I cleared a backlog of more than 1500 constituent issues and coauthored more than 29 successful pieces of legislation, all in less than 30 days. Imagine what I can do as your elected official with a full term!
  • Prayerfully, as the expectant parents of a beautiful and healthy baby, my wife Brenda and I thoroughly appreciate the importance of access to reproductive health services and IVF. We don't believe anyone should have the power to take away a woman's right to choose and conceive. This is why I will stand with my colleagues on both sides of the isle to preserve this precious access and fundamental right.
  • Inflation has taken a toll on alll Americans and Georgia has not emerged unscathed. The Georgia economy is one of the strongest in the nation and its growing. I will use my knowledge of best business practices and legislative experience to continue bringing jobs to Georgia and to further reduce inflation ensuring Georgians are able to thrive and keep ore of their money in their pockets where it belongs.
Self Awareness tells me I don't have all the answers to policy issues. For that reason I am willing to listen to you and govern in a way that serves the greater good of the people.

I believe in fiscal responsibility and access to programs for disenfranchised individuals and their families.
I believe the responsible enjoyment of our environment and its protection should be our priority.
I believe our children should be allowed to maintain their innocence for as long as possible while educating them on real life situations and issues they will face.
I believe ALL of American history should be taught in public schools.
I believe in parental discretion.

I believe in social and socioeconomic equality. I believe in protecting seniors.
At the age of 9 my brother and I asked my grandmother, who had worked 2-3 jobs from the time I've known her, for some money. Grandmas response was "I can give you a fish or I can teach you to fish". She rented us a lawnmower and said "get to stepping". My brother and I are able to purchase our own lawnmower after just a few weeks of cutting yards for the neighbors. My brother and I did this for several years.

In high school my family was faced with some stiff health and financial adversities. on my 16th birthday I applied and was hired to work at Burger King making $5.35 per hour. With this job I was able to purchase my first car while working 60+ hours per week and maintaining my good standing in advanced/honors courses. I held this job until after I graduated with honors.

My work ethic is second to none!
I would have to be Frodo Baggins from Lord Of The Rings. Frodo faced many adversities on his journey but he knew to surround himself with people who could push him to persevere at times where things were grim. His story has great parallels to my life. I'm not perfect by any stretch pf the imagination, but I wake up everyday with a renewed mind to keep pressing forward knowing what's at stake.
Optimistic by Sounds of Blackness and No Grass by AJC which speaks of a non judgmental perspective on life.
I believe my previous legislative experience and current political relationships is what makes me the best candidate for this position. People know me as the hardest working man in politics with a pure heart for the constituents I serve. I am a servant of the people and I get results.
I believe in the political legacy of Congressman John Lewis and the social impact of Dr. Martin Luther King Sr.
In previous campaigns I have been endorsed by: Atlanta City Councilwoman Keisha Waites
