And in the most critical election year of our lives, we are fighting an uphill battle to make sure everybody who wants to cast a ballot and vote is able to. Specifically, folks in races like mine. As New York Magazine and many others have found in their reporting, Governor Brian Kemp (and my opponent Karen Handel before him) have spent the last 10+ years enacting laws making it harder to vote in Georgia. That’s why in 2020, I’m creating a Voter Engagement and Protection Fund for the work our re-election campaign will be doing in Georgia’s 6th District, and across the state. [{NAME}, will you pitch in a grassroots donation of $10 or $20 right now to help us fight against voter suppression in Georgia?]( If you've saved your payment information with ActBlue Express, your donation will go through immediately: [$10]( [$20]( [$50]( [$100]( [$250]( [Other]( In the 2018 election, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution found that polling place closures and relocations under Kemp’s leadership as Secretary of State prevented an estimated 54,000 to 85,000 voters from casting ballots, primarily by forcing them to travel much longer distances to vote. That is voter suppression, {NAME}, plain and simple. It’s a damn shame, and we simply cannot let it happen again in 2020. [So, that’s why I’m creating this Voter Engagement and Protection Fund as part of our re-election campaign. {NAME}, will you help me do this much-needed work in 2020 by making a grassroots contribution to support our fight against voter suppression right now?]( Over the course of the next week, I’ll be getting in touch regularly about our Voter Engagement and Protection Fund and letting you know what other steps you can take to help us fight rampant voter suppression in Georgia.
