Lucy McBath Switches to Safe Democratic District

Rep. Lucy McBath (D-GA) “will run for Congress in a neighboring suburban district after Republicans redrew her congressional seat to be a conservative bastion, a move that will set up a potential showdown against another rising Democratic star in Georgia’s U.S. House delegation,” the Atlanta Journal Constitution reports.

McBath said “that she’ll run in the 7th District, swing territory now held by fellow Rep. Carolyn Bourdeaux (D-GA) that has been refashioned by Georgia’s Republican-controlled Legislature into a safe Democratic seat based in Gwinnett County.”

Said McBath: “I refuse to let Brian Kemp, the NRA and the Republican Party keep me from fighting. They are not going to have the last word.”
