The Democratic Women’s Luncheon was held on 04/11, at the Methodist Church in Brunswick. Guest speakers were Patti Hewitt, candidate for Georgia’s First Congressional District and Rebekah Moore, candidate for Georgia House of Representatives, district 167. Both candidates are committed to working for families and the under-served in their respective positions. These include women’s rights, stronger families and stronger communities, strengthening public education, better health care, coastal protection, diversity and social justice and most important, democracy for all.
Women’s Healthcare In 2016, Trump ran for president promising to appoint Supreme Court justices who would overturn Roe v. Wade. Once he got into office, that’s exactly what he did. Trump said it himself: he owns the dire state of access to reproductive care in Georgia.
Medicaid Expansion With the 2024 legislative session wrapped, Georgia Republicans once again blocked full Medicaid expansion this session, lining up instead behind Kemp’s failed “Pathways to Coverage” health care program that has enrolled fewer than 3,500 Georgians while costing taxpayers millions of dollars— 90% of which has gone to administrative fees instead of health care for Georgians who need it.
Private School Vouchers Republicans also sided with private corporations over Georgia voters when they passed their deeply unpopular private school voucher scheme – a bill that will defund public schools and reduce teacher hiring especially affecting Rural Georgia in favor of unaccountable private schools.
Biden Campaign in Georgia The Biden campaign is staffing up in Georgia, opening offices, and laying the groundwork to win. President Biden knows that the road to the White House runs through Georgia – and the Biden campaign is investing in the Peach State accordingly. Meanwhile, Donald Trump’s floundering campaign has one staffer , no offices, and is resorting to failed former Senators and right-wing billionaires to pay the legal fees he keeps racking up to prop up his bid in Georgia.
Clean Energy Thanks to President Biden and Democrats’ Inflation Reduction Act investing in Georgia, the Peach State now ranks first nationally in clean energy projects AND first for most jobs promised by new clean energy projects!
