“As the margins of victory narrow in Georgia, MAGA loyalists in the state legislature and in local office continue to ramp up their attacks on our democracy and the freedom to vote; from attempts to purge voters from the rolls through mass voter challenges to new attempts to legislate mass voter disenfranchisement and undermine elections infrastructure, the stakes are high for our democracy in 2024. ” said Robinson “And with the continued escalating threats to democracy, we must elect leaders, like Fair Fight’s Democracy Champions, who are willing to stand up to election deniers and voter suppressors.”

Whether it is attacks on the freedom to vote, the targeting of district attorneys representing the will of the people, or the upending of norms in our courts, Democracy Champions have positioned themselves on the frontlines of the battle to push back against the MAGA agenda taking over institutions across the state of Georgia. Fair Fight PAC issues endorsements in support of officials that leverage their positions to protect democracy, invest in elections infrastructure, and expand access to ensure free and fair elections for all.
