Stacey Abrams Announces Second Run for Georgia Governor

Wednesday Georgia Democrat Stacey Abrams announced she’s running for governor in 2022, setting up a possible rematch with GOP Gov. Brian Kemp whom she lost to in 2018.

“I’m running for Governor because opportunity in our state shouldn’t be determined by zip code, background or access to power,” Abrams said in a statement on Twitter.

“What I know to be true is that our values are still strong. No matter where we come from in Georgia, or how long we’ve been here, we believe in this place, and our folks who deserve to be seen and heard and have a voice. Because in the end, we are one Georgia, regardless of the pandemic or the storms, the obstacles in our way, or the forces determined to divide us,” Abrams said in her campaign video.
