Mark your calendar — the Georgia State Primary/ Nonpartisan Election is coming up on Tuesday, May 21.
Fair Fight is proud to endorse a diverse slate of Georgia Democracy Champions in this primary election. As we continue to witness escalating threats to our democracy, from attempts to purge voters from the rolls through mass voter challenges to new attempts to legislate mass voter disenfranchisement and undermine elections infrastructure, we need leaders who are willing to stand up to election deniers and voter suppressors.
Here’s our full list of endorsements for May 21:
District Attorney Jared T. Williams, Augusta Judicial Circuit
District Attorney Shalena Cook Jones, Eastern Judicial Circuit

These Democracy Champions are on the frontlines of protecting the freedom to vote and pushing back against MAGA extremists from the General Assembly to counties and cities all across the state. They’ll work hard to ensure Georgians can safely and freely cast their ballots so that every voice is heard and our elections reflect the will of the people.
And their work couldn’t be more urgent. Georgia is a battleground state, which means MAGA extremists keep scheming to push access to the ballot as far out of reach as possible, particularly for Black and Brown people. With your support, we’ll elect leaders who hold the line for our democracy.
As a national leader in the fight for the freedom to vote, Fair Fight is committed to supporting and electing pro-voter Democracy Champions up and down the ballot — and we rely on grassroots support to make it all possible. Will you make a donation today to help support and elect even more pro-voter candidates across the state?
In solidarity,
Nicole Robinson
Political Director, Fair Fight
