Huge win for GA voters - this ruling will result in shorter lines, and allow voters to cast their ballot in precinct, rather than settle for a provisional ballot, when the epoll books malfunction. Slow check caused long lines at many precincts in June. Thanks

A federal judge ruled Monday that every polling place in Georgia must have an updated backup paper list of eligible voters for Election Day on Nov. 3, after problems with electronic poll books contributed to voting delays during the primary.

My husband, my daughter & I have come up to Emory tonight to listen to speakers, participate, witness and hold space. I don’t pretend to have all of the details or answers, but I know this is an issue where I want to be a part of the solution.  And that starts with showing up.
Grateful and excited that Dekalb county schools received $20 million for electric school buses! Reducing car pollution will clean our air and help our children become healthier!!!!!
Nearly $60 million is coming to Georgia thanks to the $5B I secured in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law to green our yellow school buses.

One of my proudest accomplishments was repealing the ��exact name” match voter suppression policy that froze the registrations of 53,000 voters. The damn Georgia General Assembly couldn’t spell my last name — the chair sent me an apology letter 😀

Went back to the House chamber today to pick up my copy of the budget, which I’d left at my desk. So grateful our budget item for Mercy Care Atlanta survived the conference committee, increasing funding to provide healthcare for our vulnerable homeless and indigent patients!
This was so appalling. I really didn’t believe our R colleagues would do this with no debate but I was wrong. To our trans students and families, we love you and will fight for you.
In the final minutes of Sine Die, Georgia Republicans just squeezed in language that discriminates against trans kids to an already terrible bill, HB 1084. To target kids, to ban kids from playing sports, and to attack teachers at the same time. Appalling.
