BREAKING: Stacey Abrams is running for Georgia governor in 2022 #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

The Democrat announced her campaign with a video that highlighted her work since her narrow 2018 defeat to Kemp, along with a message that “opportunity and success in Georgia shouldn’t be determined by your ZIP code, background or access to power.” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

@GovKemp

.@GovKemp responds: "I’m in the fight against Stacey Abrams, the failed Biden agenda, and their woke allies to keep Georgia the best place to live, work, and raise a family." #gapol

Here’s the Republican-led Georgia House’s map of state House legislative districts to be considered during the special legislative session that starts tomorrow. #gapol

I'm told the Georgia House's version of congressional maps are expected later during the special session -- not today. But we won't be shocked if the new lines make re-election harder for Georgia's north metro suburban Democrats. #gapol ajc.com/politics/how-g…

Close up on north metro state House districts, where some Democrats who flipped legislative seats over the past two cycles could be in trouble in 2022. #gapol
