Lucy isn't going anywhere. Are you sticking with us, John?

John, these new maps try to shift Lucy's district +26 points to Trump John, we wanted to make sure you saw Lucy’s email yesterday, and the news about how Georgia Republicans are trying to kick her out of Congress with undemocratic gerrymandering. Here’s the one big takeaway. Lucy isn’t g…

new maps alert - GA Republicans want to make our district 26 points redder

John, these new maps try to shift my district +26 points to Trump Did you see the news, John? I’m still processing what this means for my future in Congress and this movement we’ve built together… All I know at this moment as our campaign team processes this latest news is that I’m not g…

Republicans may propose new districts as early as tomorrow (please read, John)

John, My team and I have been keeping you up to date with our redistricting situation in Georgia over the last few months. Really quick, here’s where we’re at as of today: Georgia Republicans released draft maps that targeted me last month, and gaveled in for their special redistricting …

a short history of why Georgia Republicans want Lucy out of Congress

John, In just a moment, we’re going to ask for your support in this crucial moment for Lucy’s re-election campaign. But first, while we wait to see the Republicans new proposed draft maps and how they will affect our re-election campaign, we wanted to remind you why Republicans think Luc…

Where are the new Georgia congressional maps?

We're still waiting to see what GA GOP does to my district... John, I don’t like this one bit. The longer we have to wait for new Congressional maps from Georgia Republicans, the more we suspect that they’re up to something sinister. Since they started their special session on November 3r…

Bracing for HUGE setbacks at the Supreme Court

John, you may have heard about Dobbs v Jackson, the upcoming challenge to Roe v Wade that the Supreme Court will hear on December 1. Lucy and our whole campaign team are keeping an eye on that case, too, but our attention is also on the Supreme Court right now. Last week, our nation’s hi…

Bad maps for House Dems in NC, OH, TX, WI. And why Georgia is likely next...

And there's not a lot we can do about it, except be ready for anything. Hi John,  We thought we might see the next round of proposed maps come out of the Georgia state legislature this week as they gaveled in for their special redistricting session. But, we’re guessing they got distracte…

a rough day to be a Georgia Democrat

2021 election returns around the country had some bright spots, but the trends weren't good You're probably looking at the same headlines as I am... so I won't mince words, John – election night 2021 was not a good one for Democrats. When we're looking ahead to another close slate of elec…

Here’s what’s got me spooked tonight:

The fact the GA GOP may attempt to draw me out of Congress is scary enough I know folks are out trick-or-treating tonight, John, but my mind’s on all the dirty tricks the GOP is playing instead — and whether we’ll mount an effort strong enough to beat them. I’ll be blunt: The fact that th…

why I fight for gun safety

I know that if we continue our fight together, we can honor the legacy of Jordan and so many others who have been taken away from us too soon. The news on the Parkland case this week brought up so many memories of our first campaign for Congress in 2018, and further back to my son Jordan…

The WORST possible time to fall behind!
