Part of how we love our country is telling the truth about our story.
America's story is one of extraordinary progress and painful injustice.
We dishonor both when we pretend only one is true.
🚨Here’s something Georgia Senate Republicans don’t want you to know: Democrats tried to replace QR codes 6 years ago.
They didn’t listen, and now taxpayers are footing the bill for a special session to figure out a solution. And we’re stuck paying off the current machines on a 20-year bond for the next 15 years.
Now, they’re using this special session to push a bill that blocks Democrats from being involved in future decisions. It’s time they start listening.
“It is quite simple,” says House Democratic Rep. Sam Park. “Democrats believe in no new taxes.”
Adds Rep. Tanya Miller: “A no vote today means no new taxes … We are down here fighting for affordability and we won’t allow Republicans to come down here with a bait and switch.”
Increasing sales taxes on EVERYONE to give tax breaks to only homeowners will not reduce taxes.
Doing so will just SHIFT taxes away from homeowners, paid for by everyone else.
House Democrats DO NOT support increasing taxes on Georgians. #gapol
GOOD NEWS:
Hours after I visited the State Capitol w/ 1000s of Georgians, GA House Republicans announced they are backing down from gerrymandering our maps, potentially giving them two extra seats.
John Lewis never backed down from getting into good trouble, & I won't either.
Early voting in the primary runoffs starts today.
Let's do our part, Georgia.

Peter Hubbard made history when he flipped a Georgia Public Service Commission seat for the first time in 25 years, beating a sitting Republican incumbent by 26 POINTS!
This year, he’s back on the ballot for a full 6-year term. Congrats @PeterHubbardGA 🎉 Let’s run it back in November!
Thank you, House District 107. I am honored to be your Democratic nominee once again.
Congratulations to all the Democratic nominees across Georgia!
Georgia Democrats showed up — and showed out. The wind is at our backs. The work is ahead of us. #gapol
Yesterday, Gov. Kemp cut $2.5 million for homeless veterans, more than $9.4M to address domestic violence & more than $3M for sexual assault victims.
Today, he announces a special session & the state will pay to bring lawmakers back to Atlanta in June.
Where’d he find the $?
On June 17, a nearly all-white Republican caucus is coming to purge Black, Hispanic, and Asian American lawmakers and steal what Black Georgians fought, marched, and died to build.
Enough is enough. Break the Republican trifecta.
Vote like your life depends on it. #gapol
Georgia’s Supreme Court is the last line of defense for our fundamental freedoms. We need justices committed to protecting every Georgian’s rights under the state constitution—that’s what this campaign is about, and that’s the kind of justice I’ll be on the Georgia Supreme Court.
Georgia is at a crossroads — and this year’s elections will shape our state for the next decade.
I’m proud to endorse these next generation leaders who are ready to stand and fight against Republican corruption and extremism, and build a better Georgia. #gapol
I’m proud to endorse @jasonesteves for Governor!

WATCH — @SenatorWarnock: “I want to speak directly to Christian leaders who carry water for Trump: why do you sit silently while he makes a mockery of the faith? He represents the opposite of everything Jesus stood for... When does your silence become complicity?"
