These candidates write the laws that change your daily lives. You need to vote Democrat for State House and Senate. Republicans banned abortion. Senator Valencia Seay and Representative Debra Bazemore voted to not ban abortion. Every candidate on this list not only supports a woman’s right to choose, they support expanding health care access to underserved communities so Georgia can decrease its abysmal maternal and infant mortality rates. 60% of Georgia’s maternal deaths are preventable. Georgia Democrats want to help women. Vote them in and let them try.

County Commissioner (Incumbent)Flip Fayette Blue
Fayette County has grown so Democratic over the last 15 years that it now sits a coinflip. We have a chance to flip BLUE for the first time since the era of Dixiecrats, this time as a party working to protect the rights of everybody. There’s only one group left in local politics that governs in reality, and it’s not them.
Who we are
The Fayette County Democrats are a county committee within the body of the Democratic Party of Georgia. We are committed to the engagement of voters in Fayette County – from registration drives to Get Out the Vote efforts to voter participation outreach, we’re the body responsible for electing Democrats in our little slice of Georgia.
