John Lewis, 2018: We are going forward. When the state of Georgia becomes blue, along with the state of Texas, they will not be able to hold us down. Itโs going to happen.

That makes a record-breaking 15 Democratic women governors. History made.
I wish my mother could have seen Georgia last night.
When she called on women to become the soul of the nation, she was asking us to help shape what this country stands for and how it treats its people. She spent her life putting those words into action.
I thought of her as Keisha Lance Bottoms became the first Black woman elected governor of a U.S. state. I thought, too, of the Black women who went door to door, registered voters and organized for years. Many did not live to see what they helped make possible.
Congratulations, Governor-elect Bottoms. Congratulations also to Penny Brown Reynolds, Georgiaโs next secretary of state, and Tanya Miller, our next attorney general.
Iโm thinking of the Black girls who will grow up seeing women who look like them lead Georgia. I pray they see what my mother saw in leadership: the power to make life better for others and the responsibility to use it.
