[1]Stacey Abrams for Governor


John,

Last night, Stacey sent a powerful email
detailing her vision for Georgia’s economic future moments after wrapping
up her Georgia Thrives address. We want to make sure you don’t miss it.

We have so much we need to do if we’re going to create a Georgia where
everyone can thrive, regardless of zip code or background.

[ [link removed] ]It’s time to invest in Georgians. That’s why we’re asking grassroots
supporters to read
Stacey’s message and chip in today to ensure she’s the next governor of
Georgia. Together, we can do it,
John. Can you donate

John,

I just walked off the stage after sharing
my vision for Georgia’s economic future. As governor, I will bring more
capital to small businesses, expand the pool of skilled labor and champion
inclusive policies to build a diverse and thriving economy. We can do this
and more to put money in the pockets of working Georgians, all without
raising taxes.

[ [link removed] ]But first, I need your help to win this election. I’m relying on
grassroots
supporters to build a Georgia where everyone can thrive.
Can I count on your support to make my vision a reality?

John, I am
a daughter of Georgia. I am a daughter of the South — raised in
Mississippi, I came of age in Georgia. Faith, education and service were
our family values — undergirded by the understanding that all of it meant
an obligation to work — to put your head down, shoulder to the wheel, and
push as hard as you could to make life better for yourself and those you
love.

For my parents and millions of families, the deal was supposed to be
simple. Put in a fair day’s work and receive a fair day’s wage. But the
deal didn’t always turn out as it should. My mom worked as a college
librarian and my father was a shipyard worker — and sometimes that wasn’t
enough to keep the lights on and the water running in our house.

Most Georgia families are doing everything right. They are upholding their
responsibilities — and yet they are still just one illness or bad turn
from a financial precipice that never seems to disappear. And the truth is
Brian Kemp’s extreme, dangerous agenda not only increases violence and
risks lives, his reckless policies endanger Georgia’s economy.

Because right now in Georgia, under Brian Kemp, rent is sky high,
inflation has destabilized our economy, and the price of groceries is
increasingly out of reach. Georgians are struggling to feed their
families. But right now, we have a governor who is more focused on
political stunts than providing stability for Georgia families.

As governor, I will wake up every morning with your family, your hopes,
your challenges in mind. I won’t brag about starving Georgia’s citizens
from the very funding — their money — that can serve their greatest and
most pressing needs.

[ [link removed] ]But I need your help to get there. John,
can you please chip in now to seize
this moment, undo all the harm Brian Kemp has done to our economy and
build One Georgia, where everyone has the opportunity to thrive?

My pledge to not raise taxes and do our best for Georgia is not just to
win an election. It is about how I was raised.

When I was 10 or so, I got to go with my granddad to the neighborhood gas
station. With five siblings and nine cousins, alone time with him was a
rare treat. I chattered the whole way there about books and school and
summer plans. When we arrived, I proudly went inside to pay to fill up the
tank and to buy some candy. On our way home, I told Granddaddy a secret —
the man at the store had given me too much change.

My grandfather whipped his car around and drove back to the station in
silence. As he pulled in front of the store, he turned to me with a look
of disappointment. He told me that what I had didn’t belong to me.
Instead, by keeping the extra money, I had put that attendant in jeopardy.

His stern face softened, and he explained, what felt like a win to me
meant that someone else would be paying the bill. Technically, yes, I
could have it, but at what cost?

My job was to go back inside and tell the truth. To return the money so
that man could take care of his responsibilities. I dutifully got out of
the car and gave the gentleman the extra $5. His look of relief and
surprise were their own rewards — and I got a piece of bubblegum for my
troubles.

What my grandfather taught me that day was profound: what feels like extra
may be just enough to do what’s right.

Losing that $5 might have cost that man his job.

John, I
live this lesson every day. We can do what’s right for Georgia — by
investing in our economy, saving health care, building infrastructure, and
taking care of our small businesses, our workers, and our bottom line. We
can turn our state around and give back what has been taken from too many
Georgians.

In November, we will set our course for the next decade, for the next
generation. We will choose an economy that serves us all or builds off the
backs of many to support the few. Our next governor will deploy the
largest surplus in a generation — but will it go to our future or to his
friends?

[ [link removed] ]Together, we can do the right thing. Let’s win the governor’s race and
help Georgia thrive. John,
can I count on you to make your
first donation to
power my campaign right now?

Thank you,

Stacey Abrams
