State Representative serving Atlanta-DeKalb. Lawyer, immigrant, and mom of 3. Big fan of democracy and voting rights.
Join Rep. Saira Draper and other elected officials this Friday at 10 am for a press conference on the impact of the CDC layoffs.

The indiscriminate mass layoffs at the CDC are not only devastating for the affected GA employees and their families, but also for public health at large. From measles, to e-coli, to ebola, the CDC has kept us safe for a very long time.

Action Alert!

Visit SEBintegrity.org now to send a personalized message to GA House Speaker Jon Burns.

We must replace the MAGA members of the GA state election board with people who will represent all Georgians.

We insist on integrity from the Georgia State Election Board.

Oh boy!! He is talking about me!

He’s putting my quotes from the last meeting where I spoke against voter challenges up on the screen!

The SEB considers a pair of rules by L Frazier that would make additional lists of electors and voters available to the public.

After getting slapped around by the courts for approving rules beyond their authority, the Seb votes to recommend this action to the legislature.

Apparently I’ve been living rent free in some of these guys’ heads ever since I said voter challenges need to balance accuracy *and voter access* at the last seb meeting.

Several are calling me out by name.

Julie Adams, Fulton co election board member who sued the state because she wants to make the act to certify the election discretionary, is asking for the SEB’s help in getting access to more documents before certification.

We’re in the public comment portion of the meeting.

So far we’ve mostly heard from the election denier camp.

One thing I haven’t seen before is public comment through song.

Good morning. 👋

It’s the first Georgia State Election Board meeting since Donald Trump won the election*

Unlike previous meetings, the crowd is sparse.

Follow along for updates.

*see MAGA, it’s not that hard to admit when the candidate you didn’t support won.

Yesterday my colleagues in the Georgia House Democratic Caucus elected me as their next Chief Deputy Whip.

I’m humbled they’ve entrusted me with this position on the leadership team, and oh what a team it is!

Let’s do this!!!
