Georgia needs a leader who will be honest about who is the cause of the challenges we face and who can mobilize a movement to deliver results.

Thanks to @rpaynereport.bsky.social at Salon for highlighting why this race matters and why change is overdue.
A mock-up of a Salon article displayed over a background of Ruwa Romman supporters holding campaign signs. The article preview shows Ruwa Romman speaking at a podium with a “No Kings” sign, wearing a hijab and blazer. The headline reads: “Ruwa Romman’s case for economic populism in Georgia.” A quote graphic from Salon placed over a photo of five young volunteers wearing “Team Ruwa for Georgia” shirts, standing together and smiling. The quote discusses affordability and the importance of naming the culprits behind rising prices.

When SNAP benefits were disrupted, our volunteers mobilized to support their local food banks and distribution locations.

Trans Week of Awareness may be ending, but our commitment isn’t. Protecting trans Georgians protects all of us. No political “strategy” justifies harm. We’re fighting for a Georgia where everyone feels safe, valued, and included. 🏳️‍⚧️

The heading reads “Honoring Transgender Week of Awareness.” Below, a pink text box includes a message about reflecting on Trans Awareness Week and Trans Day of Remembrance, emphasizing that no political expedience justifies harm, that protecting trans Georgians protects all Georgians, and that everyone deserves safety and belonging in Georgia. The Ruwa for Georgia logo is at the bottom.

The government shutdown may be over, but many families are still recovering and too many are struggling to put food on the table.

If you or someone you know needs support, you can look up nearby food banks (or donate if you’re able): bit.ly/gafooddropoff

As the Government Shutdown drags on and now SNAP benefits are at risk, we know too many #Georgia families are struggling to put food on the table.

There are food banks all around the state to help and you can find those here: linktr.ee/ruwaforgeorgia
Map of Georgia with food bank locations marked by small basket icons. The map highlights major cities including Atlanta, Augusta, Macon, Savannah, Columbus, Albany, Valdosta, and others, each with a food basket icon. A magnifying glass overlays central Georgia near Warner Robins. The title reads “Georgia Food Bank Locations,” and a yellow “Team Ruwa for Georgia” logo appears in the bottom right corner.

Statement on Foiled Mass Shooting at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport #GAPol
Image of statement on navy background reads: Yesterday, law enforcement stopped a would-be mass shooter from carrying out a horrific attack inside the world’s busiest airport right here in Georgia. We thank law enforcement for acting on a tip from the suspect’s family, and we’re grateful that police were able to make an arrest before tragedy struck. According to news reports, the suspect had an AR-15 assault rifle, the very weapon used in too many senseless tragedies. Thankfully, yesterday’s events ended without a single shot fired, but all too often, that’s not the case. Context is important here. More than a decade ago, Republicans in the Georgia General Assembly spearheaded a bill to dramatically loosen gun laws. The bill allowed guns in public places including airports, so long as the carrier didn’t attempt to take them past TSA security checkpoints. It was a reckless decision by the General Assembly. Although police prevented yesterday’s shooting before it started, the Georgia Constitutional Carry Act puts us all at risk because the possession of the weapon would not have been enough to apprehend the suspect. Had it not been for the family’s tip, I shudder to think of what would have unfolded. We need to repeal these dangerous laws. As Governor, I’ll work with my colleagues to close these loopholes and ensure those visiting our state and Georgians welcoming loved ones are safe while doing so

Now is the time to be brave. Republicans in Georgia have controlled our state for over 20 years leading to underfunded schools, closing hospitals, & low wages stuck at $5.15.

I'm running for Governor to change that.

Politically motivated violence is NEVER acceptable. I am praying for Charlie Kirk, his family, and all those affected by the rising tide of violence that we must all reject.

For the sake of our country, I urge everyone to lower the temperature motivating this violence.

Today is World Suicide Prevention Day. Despite suicide being the 3rd leading cause of death for ages 10—34 in Georgia, this year during session, a Republican legislator wanted to cut $14 million in mental health funding.
