The Fighting 50 is a support network for Democratic candidates fighting for progress throughout the state of Georgia. But at its core, The Fighting 50 is more than just a network—it's a testament to the power of collective action. It recognizes that progress is not a solitary journey but a collaborative effort, requiring solidarity and mutual support. Through community engagement, grassroots activism, and unwavering dedication, it empowers Democratic candidates to navigate the complexities of the political landscape and drive positive change from within.

OUR STORY ·

OUR PASSION IS

CANDIDATE SUPPORT

We support candidates like Kay Turner, a 34-year-old beauty salon owner who also teaches cosmetology just north of Augusta. She has helped candidates in the past. She is a single mom with two children ages 12 and 2 months. She is a Dynamo!!! She knows this is a long shot but knows what it takes to win and understands that this is her first race. She's going to learn a lot because she plans to run in the future.

Bad news: the district is 70-30 Republican gerrymandered.
Good news: there are 3 Republicans running, and Kay is the only Democrat. If she gets the support she needs, she might be able to steal this from the Republicans.

Our experience in past Special Elections for the State House shows that turnout usually drops to 25%. If Kay has the support and backing to achieve 50% turnout, she could easily win. If she secures 50% of the vote on the special election day, she wins without a runoff. Our goal is, at the very least, to get her into the runoff.

Despite the Democratic Party not supporting her due to considering it a lost cause, we believe in supporting individuals who are brave enough and willing to step up. Their philosophy assumes that even if she wins the seat in the special election, the gerrymandered nature of the district will lead to a loss in November when the full election happens and the numbers return to normal. While it may seem defeatist, we are determined to support voices like hers, inform and engage the community, and bridge gaps that have never been supported before. By supporting candidates like Kay, we aim to work collaboratively with ALL candidates, not just the chosen few.

Our team assisted Kay when she drove from Augusta to Atlanta to file for candidacy. We met her, guided her through the process, connected her with potential donors, linked her to training programs, and introduced her to possible campaign managers. We are also on-call support for her if she has any questions.

FIGHTING THE GOOD FIGHT |

NURTURING THE PEACHTREE

In a society that thrives on fairness and equality, the pursuit of justice is not just a moral imperative but a foundational principle. It ensures that every individual, regardless of background or circumstance, is treated with dignity, respect, and equality before the law. Justice serves as the bedrock for a harmonious and thriving community, fostering trust in institutions and promoting social cohesion. In Georgia, championing justice for all is not just a legal necessity; it is a commitment to building a society where every citizen has an equal opportunity to flourish, and where the principles of fairness and equity resonate in every aspect of civic life.

THE SEED

In the pursuit of equity, the Georgia community becomes a place where every individual and business, regardless of background, can contribute and benefit, creating a more resilient and inclusive foundation for sustained growth and prosperity.

THE PEACH

THE TREE

Through legislative initiatives and policy decisions, state legislators have the power to address systemic disparities in education, healthcare, and economic opportunities. By prioritizing equitable measures, these politicians contribute to building a Georgia where every resident has a fair chance to succeed.
