Stacey Abrams Was My Student. Here’s Why You Should Vote for Her
The Atlanta VoiceOct 27, 2022
On Sunday, Georgia Republican Gov. Brian Kemp and Democratic nominee Stacey Abrams conducted their second and final gubernatorial debate. Georgia has seen record-setting early voting ahead of Election Day on Nov. 8.
Abrams, who is running against Kemp for the second time, challenged the incumbent governor's anti-abortion and pro-gun policy stance and blamed him for high inflation and crime. Abrams stated that communities were in "turmoil" and that she wanted to "do better by Georgians."
As governor, Abrams would take care of all Georgians, creating more opportunities and economic security for all. These midterms are a historic opportunity to elect the US's first Black female governor, replacing Kemp with a powerful and effective leader who would ensure access to education, healthcare, and a better quality of life.
Abrams' bid for governor is in freefall. As hammered home by Kemp's campaign, she seems more comfortable in the national spotlight clinking glasses with liberal elites than working for the average Georgian citizen. Unless anything drastic changes, Kemp is in a good position to resoundingly defeat Abrams — again.
There is a 10% chance that Abrams will become governor of Georgia in 2022, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
