“When Republicans focus on these side issues like religious liberty, when they spend more time on a resolution about kneeling football players than they do on fixing the rural health care crisis, that’s heat loss....It literally conducts energy away from the problems at hand.” 1/

Afterwards I asked her how this Democratic team of women would work over the next few months. “Women learned a long time ago that one of the best ways to make our voices heard was to amplify one another. I’ve seen it in the board room, and I’ve certainly seen it in politics,” 2/

But Amico doesn’t want the general election to become a battle of the sexes. “This is a slate of candidates that looks like the state. What I love is, there’s this consistent, pragmatic, problem-solving, results-oriented approach,” she said. 3/

“And that, perhaps, even more than the appearance of the slate, is the biggest contrast with the other side.”

A great look at some fantastic candidates on your ballot this November 6th!

Thank you to @politicalinsidr and the @ajc for highlighting this year’s incredible slate of @GeorgiaDemocrat women candidates! #SarahforGeorgia #gapol
