“When Republicans refuse to deliver on issues important to Georgians, it’s critical to not give up. Sally Harrell meets the current political challenges head on, fighting to improve our schools, reduce gun violence, and protect our air and water.”
(Campaign website) “Everyone benefits when our public systems are built to serve people, not line the pockets of billionaires. Strong communities depend on a government that works for all of us.”
(Campaign website) “In November of 2018 the people of the 40th Senate District, including DeKalb, Fulton and Gwinnett county residents, elected me to represent them in the Georgia State Senate. Since then, it has been an honor and a pleasure to continue the advocacy I began in the Georgia House of Representatives for public education, access to affordable healthcare, voter’s rights, and the protection of our Earth.”
