GA is interesting because people here have been doing the work. This has been a blue state that has been voter suppress'd into being red for..years. Decades?
Trust me: I know these races are urgently important for climate action

I moved here from Oakland, a city I love in part bc it's clear so many people love it (yes, from Barbara Lee's to John Lewis', now Nikema Williams' district!) and was worried I wouldn't find that here.
People love this city. Honoring that love & that competency matters.
