Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams received degrees from Spelman College, the LBJ School of Public Affairs at the University of Texas, & Yale Law School. She is a small business owner and award-winning author of romance-suspense novels under the pen name Selena Montgomery. As Leader, Abrams has flipped six Republican seats for Democrats – preventing a Republican supermajority, and has built a nationally renowned caucus program. In the legislature, she fought to expand support for grandparents & other relatives raising children; as well as military families. She also led the fight to expand Medicaid.

Stacey Abrams currently serves as the Democratic leader of the Georgia State House. If she is successful in her bid for Governor of Georgia, she would be the first black governor in Georgia – and the first African American woman to hold that title in U.S. history.
I would like to note that Stacey’s sister, Leslie Joyce Abrams, was nominated by President Obama in March of 2014 and confirmed for United States District Judge of the United States District Court for the Middle District of Georgia as well as a former Assistant United States Attorney. Success runs in the family.
