Think Congress is powerful? Your state legislature decides how voting maps are drawn, what your schools teach, whether you have access to healthcare, and so much more. Although national politics often gets the spotlight, the Assembly, consisting of the House and Senate, crafts laws on the issues that directly impact citizens' day-to-day lives. 

Decades of Republican control has left Georgia ranked 50th in healthcare, 49th for workers, and 37th for children. The 6-week abortion ban is opposed by 72% of Georgian voters, a testament to the legislature's failure to represent the people. Georgia also has the lowest minimum wage in the country, further demonstrating the out-of-touch nature of the Republican legislature.
