The 2022 midterm elections just got a lot more interesting, with America`s leading voting rights activist, Stacey Abrams, announcing a run for governor of Georgia.

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

If our Georgia is going to move to its next and greatest chapter, we`re going to need leadership. And now, it`s time to get the job done.

What we really should be focusing on are the two Senate races that will determine how effective we can be at actually solving the problems we have, Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock, who are two terrific men who are standing together to fight…

We have seen carve-outs of the filibuster before. And I argue then in op-ed a few months ago that a carve-out for democracy is one that should be tenable but acceptable.

When you attack democracy, you hurt everyone and whether you`re the intended target or not, when you break democracy, you break it for all voters.

If we do not take action, if we do not have minimum standards passed across this country, we know that these 19 states are the tip of the spear.

We are watching the erosion of our democracy before our eyes and I do believe the Democrats are willing to fight to restore our democracy.

The Freedom to Vote Act actually expands access to the right to vote, defends our democracy, and indeed addresses these extreme gerrymanders that have been essentially green-lighted by the Supreme Court.

We need to restore the Senate. And that means restoring it to a functioning body, not a body that is held hostage by a minority of a minority.

We will watch a complete collapse. And here`s why this isn`t a partisan issue. If you look at that map, some of those places don`t have a large phalanx of voters of color or young voters. But when you attack democracy, you hurt everyone.

If we do not take action, if we do not have minimum standards passed across this country, we know that these 19 states are the tip of the spear.
