Hi John --
Stacey Abrams has become the face of voting rights nationwide. Her efforts flipped Georgia blue in 2020, and though she hasn't announced a plan to run for governor of Georgia, it's clear that incumbent Brian Kemp is afraid of her.
Kemp's latest campaign ad makes wild claims to discredit Abrams. It even references the MLB All-Star Game, which was going to take place in Atlanta before the MLB moved it to protest the Georgia GOP's racist voter-suppression bill.
Now Kemp is claiming that Stacey Abrams orchestrated the MLB decision. Abrams did no such thing -- in fact, she urged the MLB not to move the game. But this is just one more disingenuous attack Kemp can launch against Abrams in his desperate fight to cling to power.
Georgia exemplifies everything we're fighting for. In 2020, with Abrams' help, it showed us that hope is never lost -- even in what was thought of as the reddest of states.
We have to make sure we don't lose all the ground we've gained in Georgia, and that means replacing Brian Kemp with a governor who supports voting rights for all people. It isn't an exaggeration to say that the balance of national politics hinges on this race for Georgia's governorship. If we let Kemp win and suppress voters of color, then we will lose our Senate majority, and Warnock and Ossoff's wins will be written off as flukes. But Kemp is fighting to maintain conservative power by any means necessary, and attention has drifted away from Georgia. People don't realize how fragile our victory there was.
