Thank you for your attention, for volunteering, for donating—and to 45,557 of you, for voting!

One very unexpected delight of this State Senate campaign has been being on my oldest's first ballots—first in the primary and again this morning in her first General Election.

As we’ve been knocking doors and talking to voters in East Cobb, Roswell, and Woodstock, folks have been asking about rumors they’ve heard about our state voter portal and the State Election Board. So, let’s take a look at what’s going on ahead of the November election…

If Biden and Trump made a convincing case for anything last night—excepting for the world’s worst hypothetical golf game—it’s this: The most important vote your cast this year might just be for your state and local representatives.

We won the Democratic Primary to run for State Senate District 56 in November!

What a privilege it's been to receive so much support from my amazing wife and kids, to work with such a professional campaign team, to earn of many great people's support, and to point the pavement alongside so many wonderful allies. What a privilege it is to run for the 56! Thank you all!

This week I’d like to pivot and talk about some of the other candidates running to bring change and better representation to those of us in the 56. They’ve earned my respect and—if the geography lined up—my vote, too:

• Antonio Daza for Congressional District 11

• Lyndsey Coates for Fulton County School Board

• Tracey Verhoeven for State Senate District 21

• Jennifer Phillippi for Fulton County Commission

Georgia's General Primary may be weeks away on May 21, 2024 but—thank goodness for representative democracy—early voting starts today!

And with the Georgia Presidential Primary behind us, we can turn our attention to local non-partisan elections and state-legislature primaries.
