Progressive Groups Make Early Choices In Georgia Governor’s Race

In Georgia’s Democratic primary for governor, it can be hard to find big policy differences between the two candidates: former state House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams and state Rep. Stacey Evans. But progressive advocacy groups aren’t waiting for a primary result. They’ve gotten involved in the race unusually early.

Last month, the national and regional political arms of Planned Parenthood endorsed Abrams.

“Stacey Abrams is the champion that Georgia women and families need,” said Staci Fox, who leads Planned Parenthood Southeast Advocates.
