In what will likely be a repeat of one of the most highly publicized and closely watched elections in recent history, Democrat Stacey Abrams has announced that she will be running for Governor of Georgia again in 2022. It will be a rematch for Abrams as she will once again run against Brian Kemp, the Republican who beat her for the seat in 2018 in an incredibly close election.
Teaganne Finn of NBC News reported that Abrams, “the voting rights activist and former candidate for governor, took to social media [on Wednesday, Dec. 1] to announce her campaign ‘because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background or access to power.’”
“If our Georgia is going to move to its next and greatest chapter, we’re going to need leadership,” Abrams added.
