The Future of Georgia Education Starts Now. Literally.
If students are expected to pass, the Georgia Department of Education should also P.A.S.S. Where is the return on your investment? When Mississippi surpassed Georgia in reading literacy while spending less, an alarm should have gone off across this state. It did not, because there has not been enough transparency, accountability, or capable leadership at the top.
Every parent, guardian, taxpayer, business owner, and community leader in Georgia deserves better. I am running for Georgia State School Superintendent because we cannot afford more excuses, and no other candidate has presented a real plan to deliver results.
53% of the budget. 100% accountability. #1 in results.
Accountability
Student Success
Safety
Where is the ROI?
Georgia does not need another figurehead offering slogans and empty promises. My campaign offers real solutions that are data-driven and results-oriented.
My plan is P.A.S.S.: Parents and Children First, Accountability, Student Success, and Safety. Parents and children will be at the center of every decision. I will create pathways and build trust.
ROI = (Total Benefits − Total Costs) ÷ Total Costs
DOGE THE DOE = Accountability ≠ Removing Resources
The P.A.S.S. Framework
Parents & Children First
Families are stakeholders, not spectators. The system should be transparent, responsive, and parent-centered.
Accountability
Transparent pathways, public visibility, and measurable performance for every public dollar.
Student Success
Success is proficiency, credentials, apprenticeships, scholarships, readiness, public service, and entrepreneurship.
Safety
Mental, physical, and emotional safety are performance drivers. Safe schools and safe transportation matter.
The five-step plan
ROI-Driven Budget Accountability
Every dollar must prove value through measurable statewide ROI.
Enforcement, Not Excuses
Corrective action, monitoring, and lawful intervention where districts fail students.
Safe Schools & Parent Rights
Transparent reporting, responsive systems, and clear protections for families.
Operational Discipline at GaDOE
Faster response, tighter oversight, less duplication, and stronger cross-office coordination.
Statewide Performance with Local Respect
A clear state framework with local flexibility, but real transparency and compliance.
A New Standard for Leadership
The State School Superintendent’s office oversees billions of taxpayer dollars and carries responsibilities that extend well beyond the classroom. Its leadership shapes a critical intersection of politics, public transparency, fiscal stewardship, workforce readiness, economic growth, and Georgia’s statewide competitiveness.
If Georgia can be the #1 state for business, it should also be the #1 state for education.
Why Mainor?
An educator with legislative and executive leadership experience who understands budgets, government oversight, and public accountability.
The Standard
No blank checks. Giving teachers a voice. Prioritizing children with special needs. Spending must deliver results. Making the state a resource for schools, not a roadblock.
Thank you for a great event!

Share Rep. Mainor's Message
If you believe I am the best candidate, and if no other candidate has presented a real plan to deliver results, then I am asking for your vote and your support. Statewide campaigns are won by getting the message out, and that takes people willing to invest in the future of Georgia’s children. I would be honored to earn your trust and your support as your next State School Superintendent. Although I was the last candidate to enter the race- I'm the first and only candidate with a plan.
Leadership in motion
Our children, neighborhoods, businesses, and Georgia’s future workforce cannot wait another four years. Too many children cannot read now, and that impacts everyone.
