Instead of keeping his promises to educators, @GovKemp* decided to pay his top aides 4 times as much as Georgia teachers make. #Failed100

In March, Congress announced that @GovKemp* was under investigation for historic levels of voter suppression in 2018. #Failed100

.@GovKemp failed to protect Black voters after an investigation revealed that over 120k Black Georgians’ votes disappeared in the 2018 lieutenant governor’s race. So far, he’s failed to take any action. #Failed100

Later, @GovKemp* failed to recognize the nearly 100,000 Puerto Ricans who live in Georgia when he said that Puerto Ricans weren’t American citizens. #Failed100

And @GovKemp* continued his legacy of voter suppression when he pushed through (and tried to hide signing) #HB316 despite cybersecurity experts and Georgia voters testifying that the bill would leave our election system insecure and vulnerable. #Failed100

Most importantly for the hundreds of thousands of Georgians without health coverage: @GovKemp* decided to once again delay healthcare in Georgia by passing a study instead of expanding Medicaid. #Failed100
