Elect Sally Harrell – The strong progressive voice we need.

Sally represents Georgia’s 40th Senate District.

Over the last decade, Georgia’s state government has been defunded and our infrastructure is crumbling.

We have 10,000 fewer state employees than ten years ago. Republican budgets have cut our public schools by ten billion dollars over ten years. Georgia cannot afford another lost decade.

Everyone benefits when our public schools are funded, when everyone has access to affordable healthcare, and when workers earn enough wages to stay home when they’re sick.

It’s time to reinvest in the people of Georgia.

I spent this past Saturday afternoon in a neighbor’s backyard with about 30 other people, remembering my friend and fellow political advocate Deborah. Even if you didn’t know her, you might have seen her at protests, postcard parties or the polls. Unknown to me at the time, 30 minutes before our 3+ hour remembrance began, an 18-year old white male started shooting Black people in a grocery store in New York. By the time our remembrance of Deborah ended, ten beautiful people were dead. None of us in that backyard knew what was happening, because no one looked at their phones during those sacred hours. We all thought Deborah was with us in spirit, but for anyone who knew Deborah, she had left us and went where she was needed -- to those souls in New York.As often happens at funerals, I learned things about Deborah I didn’t know. The most poignant words came from a young lady who very directly said that Deborah wasn’t just about words or volunteering at the polls. This young woman stood up and told her own story about what it was like to be a brown skinned, undocumented teenager who “wasn’t even very nice at the time.” Deborah took her in and loved her. One by one, young people got up and told us how Deborah helped them through a rough time. One was Pakistani, one was Black and gay, and one was white. They all referred to my friend Deborah as Mama Brown.How does a young life get so screwed up that at age 18 he drives into a Black neighborhood armed with a semi-automatic assault rifle, with the specific goal of eliminating as many Black people as possible? As one of my kids told me in high school, “no one cares about the mental health of high school students.” We need more Mama Browns at the personal level, but we also need them at the policy level.Here’s what I don’t understand. Why do we refuse to get smart about preventing these horrific mass shootings? Certainly we have the capability of figuring it out - we just have to choose to do so. We must choose to have hope, and find it in every child that is brought into this world. ... See MoreSee Less

“Time-between” can be sweet, whether it’s time-between jobs, time-between semesters, or the bus ride home after school. I like using the "time-between" legislative sessions to read books. Here’s what I’ve read so far! ... See MoreSee Less

What’s Behind the Green Door? Back when I served in the House (1999 - 2005), I’d hear a lot of talk about the “Green Door Committee.” Somehow I pictured that these old-time, cigar smoking legislators made their final deals in a secret…
