Stacey Abrams will not run for U
“I’ve been deeply honored by so many fellow Georgians asking me to serve,” Abrams, a Democrat, told The Atlanta Journal-Constitution. “But my responsibility is not simply to run because the job is available. I need to run because I want to do the job.”
I am grateful for all the encouragement I received to run for U.S. Senate, and I’m committed to doing everything I can to help elect a Democrat to that seat next year. #gapolpic.twitter.com/5o14BqgqwO Earlier this year, Abrams ― who had made history as the first black woman to be a major party’s gubernatorial nominee ― delivered the Democratic response to President Donald Trump’s State of the Union address.
“Here’s what I do know: Democracy in America is under attack,” she said. “Voter suppression is rampant and it is real. ... Bad policies are a direct result of people’s voices not being heard because their votes were not counted.”
