After losing by less than 55,000 votes to current Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp (R) in 2018, Stacey Abrams is now running to unseat him in 2022. A champion of voting rights, founder of Fair Fight and former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives, Abrams is vying for the Peach State’s executive chamber.

In our latest candidate Q&A, Democracy Docket spoke with Abrams about why her run this time is different than in 2018, how she plans to use the executive chamber to mitigate the effects of harmful voter suppression laws and what she thinks is the most underrated fact about Georgia. 

“I spent more than a decade working assiduously on expanding access to the right to vote in Georgia because I believe in our democracy. But, what we know is that electing Democratic governors in 2022 is critical to saving our democracy.”
