Stacey Abrams is nearly over qualified  for the office of Governor of Georgia; but Georgia really needs her. Her talents far outweigh her peers. She was writing speeches for congressional candidates since the age of 17. She has been studying economics, social science and political science most of her life. She wore her ethnicity well and stood up for civil rights beginning in 1992. Her professional career took a unique quality when she earned her legal degree at Yale in 1999. And get this, when she went to work as a lawyer it was in healthcare, public financing and tax exempt organizations. Is she ready to set policy for Georgia or what?

Her public career is inspiring when at the age of 29 she was tapped to serve as the Deputy City Lawyer for Atlanta. While serving in the Georgia legislature she served on the Ethics Committee, Ways and Means Committee, and Rules Committee. She knows how to live with a budget without getting tangled up with corruption. She became Minority Leader and instituted reforms as well as stopping a tax increase. Despite ending a tax increase and with her government reform the Georgia legislature passed the largest public transportation funding in Georgia history. She is a dynamo. 

It is impossible to list all the awards Stacey Abrams has won in her life. She loves children and seeks every opportunity to improve their quality of life. 

She needs to be Governor of Georgia. 

Go, Stacey, Go!
