Stacey Abrams For Governor!

     If anybody deserves to be governor of Georgia, it is Stacey Abrams. A bright young scholar, intern, speechwriter, author, lawyer, activist, and entrepreneur, she was elected to the Georgia House of Representatives in 2007, serving until 2017, and she was Minority Leader from 2011 to 2017. 

     In 2018, she ran for governor of the state. Brian Kemp, her opponent, also happened to be the Secretary of State in charge of elections, and he purged hundreds of thousands of black votes. She ended up losing by only 50,000 votes, and the voter suppression is widely recognized as the cause of her defeat.

     As a passionate black woman with a business and legal career and praise for preventing a middle-class tax hike, she was an obvious choice. Despite being able to justifiably claim she had an election stolen from her, she founded an organization that mobilized millions of voters across the country, including in Georgia.

     Her work is largely credited with turning Georgia in favor of Joe Biden for president and Raphael Warnock and John Ossoff for Congress, tipping the balance in the United States Senate Democratic. If anybody knows how to win, it is she.

     Stacey Abrams needs to  run for governor of Georgia in 2022: she can win! If for no other reason, do it for this guy.
