Here’s what many folks can’t tell you today because the NY Times and the Associated Press didn’t even cover our election results last night: 22 counties that voted for Donald Trump in 2024 just voted for Alicia Johnson last night.

Last night’s story in Georgia is a story about voters reclaiming our power. GYJC knocked on 132,491 doors to educate folks on the Public Service Commission race.
In Fayette, Houston, & Paulding County–communities long written off as unwinnable–GYJC showed up and changed what’s possible in Georgia.

Successful candidates are both authentic and meet voters where they are. Period.
i want to repeat this: mamdani and spanberger have run similar campaigns tailored to their respective electorates and it is maddening to watch political journalists attempt to create some broad contrast where none exist
the other thing about this is that there is no reason to pit these candidates against each other? each are good fits for their respective electorates and each shows the value of vigorous campaigns focused on the stated material problems of voters.

Q: This has been reported for a while. Cory Mills was accused of beating a girlfriend in his DC apt. Are you concerned about these allegations?
JOHNSON: You have to ask Rep. Mills about that. He's been a faithful colleague. I don't know the details. Let's talk about things that are really serious
