Michael McCord for Congress
Fighting for working people, rural communities, and real solutions in Georgia’s 1st District.
Vision
Meet Michael.
Michael McCord, a former blue-collar worker turned business consultant, officially launched his campaign for Congress in Georgia’s 1st Congressional District today with a message focused on grit, hard work, and fighting for forgotten communities.
McCord, who grew up in a trailer and worked in automotive manufacturing and warehouses before building a successful consulting firm, says his campaign is about restoring common sense and working-class representation to Washington. Since 2019, his business consulting work has saved small businesses across South Carolina and Georgia over $1.5 million last year alone, working with some of Savannah’s most well-known businesses to help them navigate economic challenges.
“I wasn’t born into politics. I was born into struggle,” said McCord. “I’ve punched a clock. I’ve swept shop floors. I’ve also sat at boardroom tables. I know what it means to fight your way up — and I’m running to fight for the folks who are being left behind by both parties.”
Platform
What We Stand For
For the working folks who feel like no one’s listening
Middle-Class Revival
It's beyond time for Washington to work for the working class again. Let’s cut red tape for small businesses, invest in job training, and stop trade deals that hurt American workers.
Rural Healthcare Access
Too many rural families are left behind. We’ll fight to expand clinics, bring back maternity care, and support mental health in underserved communities. No rural hospitals will close on our watch.
Affordable Housing & Cost of Living
From renters to first-time buyers, people are being priced out. We need to build more, cut barriers, and reduce red tape. Stopping the greed that’s crushing working families and pushing them out of their communities.
America First For Real People
"I don’t care about party talking points. "I don't care about towing the party line." If it helps regular people, I’ll fight for it. If it doesn’t I'll fight like hell to make sure it doesn't pass."
