  • CHANGE.

    It’s your right—make the most of it. An unfortunate biproduct of our current electoral system is that a vote in Fayette County is worth double a vote in Oklahoma or California. In 2022, we helped flip the Senate. In 2020, we were the frontlines of democracy. Use your vote wisely.

FAYETTE’S TRAJECTORY

Our South Atlanta enclave of growing Democrats has a chance to flip BLUE for the first time in decades, the end result of a 20 year long effort started by our founder Ernie Broadwell. Ernie brought Fayette Democrats together for the first time in 2003, with less than 30% of our County’s vote share. On November 3rd, 2026, we will flip fully to Democratic control.

PARTY NEWS

African American Caucus

The purpose of the Caucus is to engage African-American Georgia Democrats in the political and legislative processes and within the party; ensure appropriate African-American representation in party positions; and to recruit and support candidates who are committed to the concerns of African-Americans.
