We’re still waiting on the last of the votes to be counted from Tuesday’s elections, but we’ve got great news! 75% of Georgia Equality’s endorsed candidates won their races or advanced to a runoff. We elected pro-LGBTQ candidates because of you!

Another highlight from Tuesday– Two openly LGBTQ endorsees won their races (Alex Wan for Atlanta City Council District 6 and Brett Reichert for Hapeville City Council, at-large) AND two others will advance to a runoff (Liliana Bakhtiari for Atlanta City Council District 5 and Imani Barnes for Tucker City Council District 2, Post 1).

Georgia Equality sends congratulations to Alex, Brett, Liliana, Imani, and all of our endorsed candidates who won on Tuesday, or are advancing to a runoff. The runoff election will be held on November 30, 2021.
