Stacey Abrams is an American politician, lawyer, voting rights activist, and author who served as the minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives from 2011 to 2017.
Abrams, a member of the Democratic Party, formed Fair Fight Action in 2018 to combat voting suppression.
Her efforts as a voting rights activist have been widely credited with increasing voter turnout in Georgia, including in the 2020 presidential election, when Joe Biden won the state by a razor-thin margin, and in Georgia's regular and special U.S. Senate elections in 2020–2021, which gave Democrats control of the Senate.
In the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, Abrams was the Democratic nominee, making her the first African-American female major-party gubernatorial nominee in the United States.
She was defeated by Republican candidate Brian Kemp in the election, but she refused to accept, accusing Kemp of voter suppression while serving as Georgia Secretary of State.
Claims of a rigged election have been impossible to verify, according to news outlets and fact checkers.
Abrams made history as the first African-American woman to provide a rebuttal to the State of the Union speech in February 2019.
She launched her candidacy for governor in the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election on December 1, 2021, and won the Democratic nomination after running unopposed.
Abrams has also had success as a fiction and nonfiction author.
Our Time Is Now and Lead from the Outside, both nonfiction works, were New York Times best sellers. Outside of politics, Abrams has written eight novels under the pen name Selena Montgomery, which she will continue to do until 2021. Under her true name, While Justice Sleeps was released on May 11, 2021.
Stacey's Extraordinary Words, a children's book written by Abrams, will be released in December 2021.
Her career as a politician, lawyer and author brought her great income.
