About Georgia Runoff Election
Why We Gotta Do This?
The fate of the US Senate depends on what happens in Georgia.
On January 5th, Georgia will have two US Senate runoff elections
to determine who will represent Georgia in the US senate. Because of the split in the Senate, these runoff elections will determine which party controls the Senate when Joe Biden becomes president and thus the future of policy on social justice, voting rights, and the environment, among many other issues. A lot is at stake in this election.
Why are we having these elections? Well, no candidate for either Senate seat in Georgia received over 50% of the votes in November. So, Georgia is having a runoff election to determine who will fill those seats. The candidates are Jon Ossoff (D) running against David Perdue (R) and Raphael Warnock (D) running against Kelly Loeffler (R).
Since this election is off-cycle from a typical November election, public awareness and enthusiasm is less than it needs to be. It is up to us to help every eligible Georgian to vote and make sure their voices are heard.
VOTE. VOTE. VOTE.
