Great news: This morning we begin our General Election Campaign and I am proud to once again be the Democratic nominee for the 7th Congressional district.

In this race, we saw historic levels of turnout. We are projecting that 85,000 people will have voted in the Democratic primary, 30% above the Republican turnout.

I just want you to know that I am so honored to have received the support of the many diverse families across our community and I will carry their stories and struggles with me in the days ahead.

I also want to congratulate my opponents in the primary on their hard-fought campaigns — they highlighted issues important to everyone in this district.

Now we turn our eyes to an election that will define the future of this country for generations. *
We
must
restore
the
basic
promise
that
the
leaders
we
send
to
Washington
will
work
to
heal
what
divides
us
and
actually
solve
our
problems.
*
*
We
must
address
deep-seated
racial
injustice,
fight
for
access
to
quality,
affordable
health
care,
and
equip
this
country
to
recover
from
the
pandemic
with
full
strength.
*
*
We
must
save
our
democracy,
both
from
a
President
who
does
not
respect
the
rule
of
law
or
our
democratic
institutions,
and
here
in
Georgia,
we
must
protect
our
basic
right
to
vote.
The
first
piece
of
legislation
I
will
co-sponsor
when
I’m
elected
is
Congressman
John
Lewis’
Voting
Rights
Advancement
Act,
because
every
vote
should
be
counted
and
every
voice
should
be
heard.

The contrast with my opponent couldn’t be more stark. We won this race by bringing together a diverse coalition of middle class families who are concerned about the future of this country. Our campaign this time and last time was powered by thousands of middle class families chipping in what they could and volunteering where they could.

Rich McCormick’s win in his primary was solely because the Club for Growth, a Washington corporate special interest PAC, poured over $1 million into his race. This is precisely the problem with American politics today and these big money special interests are destroying this country.

He is supporting a President whose racist and anti-immigrant policies are tearing our country apart, who has no respect for the rule of law or our democratic institutions.

And he is pushing policies that would dismantle our health care system, cut protections for people with pre-existing conditions, and ensure that the already staggering number of uninsured in this district skyrockets.

After the last few months, we know that having quality affordable health care is crucial. We are at a critical moment of national crisis, with our economy, with our country’s ability to address coronavirus, and with our democracy.

Someday our children and grandchildren will ask us what we did in this moment when so much was at stake, and I want to be able to say -- and I know you do, too -- that we fought for the country we believe in.

Thank you so much for your steadfast support.

Sincerely,
Carolyn
