DGA Statement on Stacey Abrams Entering the Georgia Governor’s Race

DGA Executive Director Noam Lee released the following statement following the announcement from Stacey Abrams that she is running for governor of Georgia:

“Stacey Abrams is a powerhouse leader who has spent her life fighting for equal opportunity for all Georgians. Through her unparalleled grassroots support and record of delivering results, Abrams has demonstrated that if we are united when confronting universal challenges, there is no limit to what we can achieve — whether it’s ensuring every child has access to a high-quality education, or creating an economy that leaves no one behind.

“With a historic campaign built on expanding access to health care and creating good-quality jobs, Abrams already came well within striking distance of Brian Kemp in 2018 — before she mobilized millions of Democrats to flip Georgia blue in 2020. Now more than ever, it’s clear Brian Kemp’s days as governor are numbered.”
