MEET BARRY WOLFERT
As a father, highly successful Realtor, guitar player, and avid Beatles fan - Barry is running for Congress to continue what he has always done - bring solutions to everyday problems and give people a sense of hope and accomplishment. Barry isn’t a career politician, he knows what it means to show up, work hard, follow the rules, and still feel like the system is working against you.
After studying at Cornell’s School of Hotel Administration, Barry launched his career in the hospitality industry focused on creating memorable experiences so every guest felt welcomed and valued. His focus on creating meaningful connections shaped his later career in real estate after working for several major hotels and companies in the Hospitality industry. After settling in Atlanta, he has proudly called Georgia home for more than three decades.
Barry has spent more than 20 years helping families across the district make this community their home. He co-founded the Wolfert & Wrenn Real Estate Team at Keller Williams in 2013, where he sees up close how rising housing, construction and material costs and political dysfunction are hurting all of us. Barry is running for Congress to restore common-sense leadership in Washington. He will protect Social Security and Medicare, expand access to affordable health care, and ensure working and middle class families have a fair shot and opportunity at the American dream.
Barry is the proud father of two adult children. Outside of work, he enjoys spending time with his family, his wonderful partner, and of course playing in his Beatles tribute band, Rubber Revolver.
PUTTING PEOPLE BEFORE POLITICS.
-
While helping countless families find homes across the district, Barry has seen the toll of rising costs up close. He will fight for policies to incentivize building more homes and protecting first-time home buyers to make home ownership within reach again. Barry will lower the cost of health care by passing stronger protections and expanding access to affordable coverage. Additionally, he supports legislation to crack down on companies price gouging us at the pump, at the grocery store, and on our utility bills.
-
Social Security and Medicare are both promises made to our nation’s seniors, and Barry intends to keep those promises. In Congress, he will ensure those earned benefits are not cut, privatized, or turned into a political bargaining chip. Barry will fully fund these programs by ensuring the wealthy and corporations pay their fair share, cracking down on waste and fraud, and protecting Medicare’s ability to negotiate lower drug prices.
-
Barry believes affordable and quality health care is an inalienable right - not a privilege. In Congress he will fight to protect and strengthen the ACA, safeguard coverage for people with pre-existing conditions, and lower premiums and out-of-pocket costs for families. Barry will fight for more funding to our rural hospitals which are in danger of closing because of short sighted and draconian budget cuts. Additionally, he will confront drug companies to stop them from raising costs on hardworking Americans, ensuring nobody has to choose between paying for their health care or paying for groceries.
