For Immediate Release

Georgia Stonewall Democrats are proud to announce additional endorsements for the May 21st Democratic Primary. 

Georgia Stonewall Democrats is Georgia’s lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and ally Democratic community. As LGBTQ+ and ally Democrats, we have a unique and critically important role to play in our community’s struggle for equality. We are working to make progress within our Party on issues important to our community.

These candidates answered numerous questions about their approach to governing, policy making and knowledge on progressive issues. Our last question to them is to expand on additional issues and situations that are important to them, and their communities. We heard from numerous candidates about healthcare, mental healthcare, and elder care specifically, affordable housing, environmental justice, and access to transportation.  

The Board was extremely impressed with the depth of knowledge expressed by the many thoughtful and moving answers. We heartily recommend that these candidates be helped in any way possible, from donations to volunteering, and where applicable with your vote.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The GSD endorsement is based upon our assessment of returned candidate questionnaires and a review of the candidate’s history of working within and on behalf of the LGBTQ+ community, allied organizations, and progressive causes.

We do not issue ratings for every survey submitted. Our final endorsement selections are not to be construed as a slight to any candidate who took the time to communicate their issue positions to us. Georgia Stonewall Democrats can only consider endorsement for candidates who apply. No inference should be made for Democratic candidates not listed.
