Black women are the undisputed heart of Georgia’s Democratic electorate. Tuesday showed just how much power they wield.
They helped propel Keisha Lance Bottoms to an outright victory while boosting Black women candidates up and down the ballot across Georgia.

Proud to earn the endorsement of End Citizens United once again as we continue the fight to end our rigged political system and protect the freedom to vote.

Our voices, our votes, and our communities matter—in the #FightingFifth and everywhere!

Georgia has two critical Supreme Court races on Tuesday, with Miracle Rankin and Jen Jordan seeking to unseat two Republicans.

The Court is currently 9 Republicans and 0 Democrats — but two victories on Tuesday would give Democrats a chance to win a 5-4 majority by 2028.

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 Supreme Court challenger Jen Jordan draws a line between Gov. Kemp’s call for a special session to redraw political boundaries and her May 19 campaign for the bench.
“We need justices who will defend the right to vote, not enable its erosion. Justices who see the law as a shield for the people, not a weapon for politicians.” #gapol

The #KKK was also a Christian organization.. like #MAGA Christians who vote for pedophiles and criminals like those in the Republican Party. Ignorance is destructive to good government. #EvilExists but gods do not!

[Georgia Senate Democrats @GASenateDems]

🚨Senate Minority Leader Harold Jones II released the following statement today on Governor’s Kemp’s call for special session:

"If Republicans ever used their power to help Georgians, they wouldn't have to waste time and money redrawing the maps every few years to keep their majorities.

"June will be our third redistricting since 2021. Republicans need to undo their last gerrymander because it wasn't good enough to keep their waffling political party in power. Most parties would try out some new ideas. Republicans choose to strip political power from Black people and undo the progress the South made in the last 60 years.

"Let's sum it up for everybody. The biggest bloc of middle and working class voters are Black people. When Republicans strip Black people's political power away, it doesn't just strip one community of power. It strips political power from every single middle and working class person and hands it over to billionaires and big corporations. That's what redistricting means for you."

Senate Republicans have blocked funding TSA repeatedly. We sent a mobile billboard to Hartsfield-Jackson to hold @Buddy_Carter, @MikeCollinsGA, and @DerekDooleyGA accountable for Republicans refusing to pay TSA and end the chaos at airports

Michael Thurmond, a potential Democratic candidate for governor, is in Cartersville today speaking to a large crowd about Georgia’s future. One of his messages:

“I'm convinced beyond all reasonable doubt that if you will do what you did today, if you will continue to come together, if you will continue to pray together, to laugh together, to cry together, to work together, we can be — we will be one Georgia — one great Georgia.” #gapol

@GASenatePress Congratulations!!

[Georgia Senate Democrats @GASenateDems]

Governor Kemp's plan for Georgia puts profits over people.

But Georgia Senate Democrats are fighting back. We're standing up and prioritizing investing in public education, accessible healthcare, and lowering your cost of living. While Kemp pushes for the wealthy and well-connected, our Senators are fighting daily to build a Georgia built for working families and the middle class, not corporations. #gapol

Gov Kemp says higher insurance premiums are due to lawsuits. The insurance industry also made record profits last year. Something doesn’t add up. #gapol

@RashaunKemp @GASenateDems Congratulations!!

[Bob Trammell @TrammellBob]

Senator Fort was the best kind of fighter. Fearless. Unshakeable. Spoke truth to power as a matter of course and duty. If he was with you, he was with you 💯. An orator with a booming command of the room. A strategist with deft understanding. Rest well my friend. #gapol

President Biden did the right thing by pardoning his son, Hunter. The Trump Administration would have used the Justice Department to prosecute their political opponents.

RETWEET if you think President Biden made the right decision!
