On June 26th, 2024, the Associated Press published an article titled “In one affluent Atlanta suburb, Biden and Trump work to win over wary Georgia voters,” featuring a breakdown of Fayette County’s political landscape heading into the 2024 presidential election. As many of you reading this know, Fayette County is on course to flip blue for the first time in decades, a shocking rise to Democratic power after holding around 35% of the County only a decade ago.
Our Chair Joe Clark has been interviewed by numerous media outlets this year, a testament to just how close we’ve come to flipping our County blue. Here’s an excerpt from the article:
“Like other Atlanta suburbs, the 120,000-resident county has been angling left. Democrats haven’t yet deposed Fayette’s Republican majority, but they got close in December 2022, when Democratic U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock won 49.5% of Fayette’s votes in defeating Republican Herschel Walker.
“We do believe that the pathway to the presidency comes right through Fayette County this year,” said Joe Clark, chair of the Fayette County Democratic Party and a Fayetteville City Council member.”
