ELECTION UPDATE
Great news! 77% of Georgia Equality’s endorsed candidates won their races or advanced to a runoff. From the state legislature to county commission and judicial seats, we elected pro-LGBTQ candidates because of you!
Another highlight from Tuesday– State House district 99 elected GE Endorsee Marvin Lim, who will become the 6th openly LGBTQ member of the state legislature! Marvin won’t face opposition in the general election in November.
And there’s more: GE Endorsee Kim Jackson held on to a 54% lead in State Senate District 41, and is well on her way to being elected as our first-ever openly LGBTQ State Senator and 7th LGBTQ legislator!
Georgia Equality sends congratulations to Marvin, Kim, and all of our endorsed candidates who won on Tuesday, or are advancing to a runoff. The runoff election will be held on August 11, 2020 and early voting will begin on July 20.
