[ANNOUNCEMENT] This year’s @TheDemocrats African American Leadership Summit and #IWillVote Gala will be held in Atlanta on Thursday June 6th. Tickets will be made available for purchase in the coming weeks. 3/
Only two weeks left for public comment on our draft plan for delegate selection to the 2020 Democratic National Convention. We're committed to making Georgia’s delegate selection and inclusive and diverse process, but we need you.
Congress adjourned until April 29th, without passing aid to #HurricaneMichael victims. Trump has yet to even submit a request for disaster assistance though @GovKemp & @senatorperdue claim to have close ties with him. It's time to put politics aside and help Georgia farmers. /end

Folks, we get it. There’s a lot of information out there about different candidates, so we’re going to clear some things up. Here are 10 reasons why you should vote AGAINST Brian Kemp.
2: Six hospitals have closed under Brian Kemp’s failed leadership. With Atlanta Medical Center’s closure, metro Atlanta now has only one Level I trauma center. georgiademocrat.org/ajc-6th-hospit…
“Herschel Walker has lied about everything...His own staff says he lies like he’s breathing. The job of a U.S. senator demands honesty and it is clear on that requirement, my opponent falls far short”
“He has said he served in law enforcement. He has not. He claimed to own a business with 800 employees. It had eight. He said he started a charity for veterans…It wasn’t a charity. It was a for-profit hospital chain that paid Herschel Walker and preyed on our veterans.”
“These are difficult times. Georgians are hurting – prices are far too high on everything from groceries to gas....It’s a challenge that calls for serious leadership. And that’s not Herschel Walker.”
This week, Columbus voters held a press conference highlighting Herschel Walker’s pattern of lies and disturbing behavior — all while the GOP Senate candidate refuses to answer basic questions about his record. Thread:
“The whole point of serving in the Senate is to protect people — but it’s clear that Walker is a violent man who has continued lying to Georgians about every aspect of his life instead of taking responsibility for his behavior.” said Carolyn Hugley, House Rep. and Columbus mom.
Teddy Reese, State House Rep.-Elect (HD-140) and small business owner: “There’s nothing more important than lifting up and caring for the people around you…. That’s why I am so disturbed by Herschel Walker’s well-documented pattern of lies and disturbing behavior.”
Folks, we know you’re hearing a lot right now from a lot of candidates. So we wanted to cut through the noise. Here are 10 reasons you need to vote AGAINST Herschel Walker.
1: Herschel Walker has a long record of lies, scams, and disturbing behavior that makes him completely unqualified to serve in the Senate.
2: Herschel Walker said he’s helped veterans through his charitable work. But in reality, he served as a spokesperson for a for-profit program that “preyed upon veterans and service members while defrauding the government.”
Today, Macon voters held a press conference highlighting Herschel Walker’s pattern of lies and disturbing behavior, including the latest report of another woman being threatened by Walker. Thread:
“Walker has a long history of disturbing conduct that he’s never taken accountability for — and Georgians deserve to know all of the facts before they make their decision,” said Rep. James Beverly, Georgia House Minority Leader. (@drjbev)
Caly Hess, Georgia voter and Macon mom: “We learn who a candidate is as a campaign marches on. Everything we’ve learned about Herschel Walker is terrifying.”
