Opportunity and success in Georgia shouldn’t be determined by your zip code, background, or access to power. But if our Georgia is going to move to its next and greatest chapter, we’re going to need leadership.

I am very bullish on the likelihood that the Freedom to Vote Act and the John Lewis Voting Rights Advancement Act will pass because we know that in lieu of their passage, what we saw happen across the states this year is going to be…

Stacey Abrams announced today that she is running for the governor of the great state of Georgia.
