The latest from the Georgia Capitol & the campaign trail.
A solution in search of a problem.
Last Friday, after the Special Session’s first week ended and reporters had started to go home, state Republican leaders released their long-awaited congressional district map. And just like the state Senate and House maps released days before, this map failed to meet the requirements of Judge Jones’ meticulously detailed ruling for how Georgia’s political districts need to re-align with the the Voting Rights Act.
People should choose their reps (not the other way around).
It’s that time again: For Georgia’s Republican legislature to gerrymander the hell out of our legislative maps to determine which of us get to vote for or against each of them. And whatever the outcome, the process is opaque, undemocratic, and we deserve better.
LET’S KEEP IN TOUCH.
Open communication is a cornerstone of good representation—and something sadly lacking in many Georgia senate districts, including the 56. I pledge to respond to everyone who reaches out. So email, text, or call me anytime at:
