It was announced today (December 1), Stacey Abrams will be running for Georgia Governor in 2022.

In her campaign launch, Abrams pledges to fight for economic equality and expand healthcare access.  This announcement will set up a potential rematch against Republican Gov. Brian Kemp.

Abrams posted this video to her Twitter account  to make the announcement:

Abrams' previous run against Kemp was a close one.  She refused to concede, blaming an "erosion" of voting rights. Her decision to run again has been expected by Democrats for some time now.

If she wins, she would be the first Black governor in Georgia, and the first Black woman elected governor in U.S. history.  Her win would also end a long string of Republican gubernatorial wins.
