are remarkable. Who thought we would be talking about a near win, stolen due to voter suppression, just a few months ago. I look forward to her running another campaign for office. She has what it takes and she is also brilliant, likable, an excellent public speaker and fund raiser.

Me.

she did damn well as a WOC in a southern state where they were rampantly suppressing the vote, better than anyone could've expected

This is a tragedy. I cried tonight. I hope her lawsuit is successful. What a grand shame that people in Georgia may have missed out on having this great woman as their governor!

I suggest that people in Georgia not respect Mr. Kemp. Don't show up at his events. Don't show up to get an honor or an award.
If you do attend an event, turn your back. Call him out wherever he goes. There are a million ways to hound this despicable man.
Get creative and get started!

I wish we had many more of her in office, but I suspect that in two years we will have even more. I am sure this strong lady has exceptional intellect and education to carry on to even be our first black woman president someday.

I love how she is so level headed and calm yet the power of her words have the strength to move mountains. She will prove to be a very important figure in our current time and will have a large role in our future, I can see it in her resolve.

An excellent and precisely appropriate speech. Her eloquence is fantastic.

She is a brilliant woman and she deserves to be Georgia's governor - and would be if not for the flagrant cheating committed by the republicans in that state.

Don't give up and don't back down Stacy! We all need you!
