Georgia Politics Through a Progressive Lens
On the heels of Stacey Abrams’ resounding primary win, Jason Carter took to the southern magazine Bitter Southerner, not to make a case for why Georgians should get behind our Democratic nominee but to remind her and others that white voters cannot be left behind. Funny how Democrats like Carter caution about leaving behind voters […] More
Self-appointed Georgia Ethics WatchDog, William Perry penned a post of 10 alleged ethical issues that should prevent Abrams from becoming Governor. It really must suck to be bitter and petty while backing a losing candidate. Latest polls show Stacey Evans still down by about 20 points, with a shocking poll from Fox News Atlanta showing […] More
Earlier today, Senator Bernie Sanders endorsed former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams. Abrams has been in a competitive primary race with former Georgia State House Representative Stacey Evans. Although Evans has attempted to characterize Abrams as working against the values of the Democratic Party, Abrams has, in fact, worked to build consensus and forward […] More
.@staceyabrams and her shady organization, New Georgia Project, deserve to be scrutinized. They are more concerned with PR stunts & advancing a radical agenda than engaging Georgians in the political process. https://t.co/5fekXBVAXm #gapol

There are six days left until election day, and Stacey Evans, a Democratic candidate for Georgia Governor, has taken to bolstering Republican claims of voter fraud to attack her opponent’s voter registration efforts. Recent polling shows Evans still down by nearly 20 points. Those who are undecided are not going to magically show up to support […] More
Georgia Democrats need to embrace discomfort and work through tough discussion on race. It is an uncomfortable subject for many, but it is clear that we cannot allow this subject be ignored any longer. CBS46 recently covered an incident of an inappropriate social media post. While some may agree with the statement, the image used […] More
On the right? Who on the right is embracing this story? Or any of my work?

My voice and demands for accountability in Georgia political coverage have caused biased reporting by WABE and the AJC. There is nothing new about attempts to undermine or discredit Black women. Like Ida B. Wells, I will not be silenced. My voice, my brand, and the spaces I have been blessed to occupy are important […] More
Support for Trump may be eroding in the south, but those seeking to replace Republicans need to focus on the bigger picture. People need issues and people to vote for not against. More
Georgia Democratic Candidate for Governor Stacey Abrams recently nailed it when she said: “the expansion of Medicaid would have an impact on everything we do.” Georgia Democrats have been pushing for Medicaid expansion.

Apparently, you need to be a wealthy elite to run for governor in Georgia — at least that’s what the Atlanta Journal-Constitution seems to be suggesting in the latest hit piece on Stacey Abrams. Georgia 2018: Abrams owes more than $50K to IRS, an entry in the Political Insider Blog, wastes precious space discussing the […] More
The saving grace for liberals in this race, ironically, might be @realDonaldTrump, a personage so politically polarizing that the #resist movement growing against him could yield Dems a fighting chance

On #gapol gov's race, my latest for @AtlantaMagazine:https://t.co/3i54EYH4GG
Trump being a disaster is not the saving grace for Democrats in Georgia. While the upcoming Governor’s race and other statewide elections pose a challenge for Democrats, winning can be accomplished by learning the lessons from Alabama and building the organizational capacity to win. There are no shortcuts or magical formulas. People need to be […] More
