Derrick J. Wilson is no stranger to politics. We know Derrick from the strong campaign he ran in his fight to be the Gwinnett Commissioner for district 3. Derrick lost his race in the runoff after leading the race. Derrick said he is committed to making sure that all Georgia's residents are being treated equally and that they understand the departments that are a part of their everyday lives.
Derrick J. Wilson, has joined the race for Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner. Wilson says, "It is important to bring integrity back to the office." His statement about the office follows the announcement of the conviction of former Insurance Commissioner Jim Beck two weeks ago. The Insurance Commissioner’s office is a very important office in the state of Georgia. The mission of the Office of the Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner (OCI) is to protect Georgia families by providing access to vital insurance products and safe buildings through fair regulation that creates economic opportunities for all Georgians. "Many of our residents think insurance is the only thing this office does, and I plan to change that by sharing important information about everything the office handles and the resources that are available to all residents of Georgia.", states Wilson. Since running for Gwinnett County District 3 Commissioner in 2020, Derrick has continued to vocalize the need for diversity and proper minority representation within elected officials. “It is important to have the right individuals in these elected positions who understand the issues that Georgians face daily. They need someone who will adjust and enforce regulations that will impact the quality of our daily lives.” As with the last election where he was a candidate, Wilson will face competition for others who feel that they would be better suited for the job as the Georgia Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner, but Wilson said he is ready to for the hard work ahead. He knows that the time has come for new leadership that his honest, hardworking and has the best interest of every Georgia resident. "This will not be a dictatorship" states Derrick. "I am not only interested in working for the residents of Georgia, but also in working with the residents of Georgia." To learn more about Derrick J.
