Abrams was the Democratic nominee in the 2018 Georgia gubernatorial election, becoming the first African-American female major-party gubernatorial nominee in the United States.[6] She lost the election to Republican candidate Brian Kemp, but refused to concede, accusing Kemp of engaging in voter suppression as Georgia Secretary of State.[7] News outlets and fact checkers have found claims of a stolen election difficult to prove, and have found no evidence that voter suppression impacted the result of the election.[8] In February 2019, Abrams became the first African-American woman to deliver a response to the State of the Union address. On December 1, 2021, she announced she would run for governor again in the 2022 Georgia gubernatorial election and became the Democratic nominee after running unopposed.[9]
Abrams is an author of both fiction and nonfiction. Her nonfiction books, Our Time Is Now and Lead from the Outside, were New York Times best sellers. Abrams wrote eight fiction books under the pen name Selena Montgomery before 2021. While Justice Sleeps was released on May 11, 2021 under her real name. Abrams also wrote a children's book, Stacey's Extraordinary Words, released in December 2021.
Early life and education
The second of six siblings, Abrams was born to Robert and Carolyn Abrams in Madison, Wisconsin, and raised in Gulfport, Mississippi.[10][11] In 1989, the family moved to Atlanta, Georgia, where her parents pursued graduate divinity degrees at Emory University.[12][13] They became Methodist ministers and later returned to Mississippi with their three youngest children while Abrams and two other siblings remained in Atlanta.[12][14][15] She attended Avondale High School, graduating as valedictorian in 1991.[16] In 1990, she was selected for the Telluride Association Summer Program.[17] At 17, while still in high school, she was hired as a typist for a congressional campaign and then as a speechwriter based on the improvements she made to a campaign speech.[18]
In 1995, Abrams earned a Bachelor of Arts in interdisciplinary studies (political science, economics, and sociology) from Spelman College, magna cum laude.[2] While in college, she worked in the youth services department in the office of Atlanta mayor Maynard Jackson.[18] She later interned at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.[18] As a freshman in 1992, Abrams took part in a protest on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, during which she joined in burning the Georgia state flag which, at the time, incorporated the Confederate battle flag. It had been added to the state flag in 1956 as an anti-civil rights movement action.[19][20][21]
As a Harry S. Truman Scholar, Abrams studied public policy at the University of Texas at Austin's LBJ School of Public Affairs, where she earned a Master of Public Affairs degree in 1998. In 1999, she earned a Juris Doctor from Yale Law School.[2]
Legal and business career
After graduating from law school, Abrams worked as a tax attorney at the Sutherland Asbill & Brennan law firm in Atlanta, with a focus on tax-exempt organizations, health care, and public finance.[2] In 2010, while a member of the Georgia General Assembly, Abrams co-founded and served as the senior vice president of NOW Corp. (formerly NOWaccount Network Corporation), a financial services firm.[22][23]
Abrams is CEO of Sage Works, a legal consulting firm that has represented clients including the Atlanta Dream of the Women's National Basketball Association.[24]
Nourish and Now
Abrams co-founded Nourish, Inc. in 2010.[25] Originally conceived as a beverage company with a focus on infants and toddlers,[26] it was later rebranded as Now and pivoted its business model to an invoicing solution for small businesses. Now raised a $9.5 million Series A in 2021.[25]
Political career
In 2002, at age 29, Abrams was appointed a deputy city attorney for the City of Atlanta.[2][27]
Georgia General Assembly
In 2006, Abrams ran for the 89th district for the Georgia House of Representatives, following JoAnn McClinton's announcement that she would not seek reelection. Abrams ran in the Democratic Party primary election against former state legislator George Maddox and political operative Dexter Porter. She outraised her two opponents and won the primary election with 51% of the vote, avoiding a runoff election.[28]
Abrams represented House District 89, which includes portions of the City of Atlanta and unincorporated DeKalb County,[29] covering the communities of Candler Park, Cedar Grove, Columbia, Druid Hills, Edgewood, Highland Park, Kelley Lake, Kirkwood, Lake Claire, South DeKalb, Toney Valley, and Tilson.[30] She served on the Appropriations, Ethics, Judiciary Non-Civil, Rules, and Ways & Means committees.[31]
In November 2010, the Democratic caucus elected Abrams to succeed DuBose Porter as minority leader over Virgil Fludd.[32] Abrams's first major action as minority leader was to cooperate with Republican governor Nathan Deal's administration to reform the HOPE Scholarship program. She co-sponsored the 2011 legislation that preserved the HOPE program by decreasing the scholarship amount paid to Georgia students and funded a 1% low-interest loan program for students.[33]
According to Time magazine, Abrams "can credibly boast of having single-handedly stopped the largest tax increase in Georgia history."[34] In 2011 Abrams argued that a Republican proposal to cut income taxes while increasing a tax on cable service would lead to a net increase in taxes paid by most people.[34] She performed an analysis of the bill that showed that 82% of Georgians would see net tax increases, and left a copy of the analysis on the desk of every House legislator.[34] The bill subsequently failed.[34]
Abrams also worked with Deal on criminal-justice reforms that reduced prison costs without increasing crime,[34] and with Republicans on the state's biggest-ever public transportation funding package.[34]
On August 25, 2017, Abrams resigned from the General Assembly to focus on her gubernatorial campaign.[35]
2018 gubernatorial campaign
Abrams ran for governor of Georgia in 2018.[36] In the Democratic primary she ran against Stacey Evans, another member of the Georgia House of Representatives,[36] in what some called "the battle of the Staceys". Abrams was endorsed by Bernie Sanders and Our Revolution.[37][38] On May 22, she won the Democratic nomination, making her the first Black woman in the U.S. to be a major party's nominee for governor.[39] After winning the primary, Abrams secured a number of high-profile endorsements, including one from former president Barack Obama.[40][41]
Almost a week before election day, the Republican nominee, Georgia secretary of state Brian Kemp, canceled a debate scheduled seven weeks earlier to attend a Trump rally. Kemp blamed Abrams for the cancellation, saying she was unwilling to reschedule it. Abrams responded, "We refuse to callously take Georgians for granted and cancel on them. Just because Brian Kemp breaks his promises doesn't mean anyone else should."[42]
Two days before the election, Kemp's office announced that it was investigating the Georgia Democratic Party for unspecified "possible cybercrimes"; the Georgia Democratic Party stated that "Kemp's scurrilous claims are 100 percent false" and described them as a "political stunt."[43] A 2020 investigation by the Georgia attorney general's office concluded that there was no evidence of computer crimes.[44] Later that year, it was revealed that the alleged cybercrime against Kemp's office was in fact a planned security test that one of Kemp's staff members had signed off on three months prior.[45]
As Georgia's secretary of state, Kemp was in charge of elections and voter registration during the election. Kemp was accused of voter suppression during the election between him and Abrams.[46][47][48] Emory University professor Carol Anderson has criticized Kemp as an "enemy of democracy" and "an expert in voter suppression" for his actions as secretary of state.[49] Political scientists Michael Bernhard and Daniel O'Neill described Kemp's actions in the 2018 gubernatorial election as the worst case of voter suppression in that election year.[50] Election law expert Rick L. Hasen described Kemp as "perhaps the most incompetent state chief elections officer" in the 2018 elections, pointing to a number of actions that jeopardized Georgia's election security and made it harder for eligible voters to vote.[51] Hasen writes that it was "hard to tell" which of Kemp's "actions were due to incompetence and which were attempted suppression."[51]
Between 2012 and 2018, Kemp's office canceled over 1.4 million voter registrations, with nearly 700,000 cancellations in 2017 alone.[52] On a single night in July 2017, half a million voters had their registrations canceled. According to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution, election-law experts said that this "may represent the largest mass disenfranchisement in US history."[53] Kemp oversaw the removals as secretary of state, and did so eight months after he declared his candidacy for governor.[54] An investigative journalism group run by Greg Palast found that of the approximately 534,000 Georgians whose voter registrations were purged between 2016 and 2017, more than 334,000 still lived where they were registered.[55] The voters were given no notice that they had been purged.[56] Palast sued Kemp, claiming over 300,000 voters were purged illegally.[57] Kemp's office denied any wrongdoing, saying that by "regularly updating our rolls, we prevent fraud and ensure that all votes are cast by eligible Georgia voters."[58]
By early October 2018, more than 53,000 voter registration applications had been put on hold by Kemp's office, with more than 75% belonging to minorities.[59][52] The voters were eligible to re-register if they still lived in Georgia.[60][52][54][55]
In a ruling against Kemp, district judge Amy Totenberg found that Kemp's office had violated the Help America Vote Act and said an attempt by Kemp's office to expedite the certification of results "appears to suggest the secretary's foregoing of its responsibility to confirm the accuracy of the results prior to final certification, including the assessment of whether serious provisional balloting count issues have been consistently and properly handled."[61][62]
On November 6, 2018, Abrams lost the election by 54,723 votes.[63] On November 16, 2018, Abrams announced that she was ending her campaign. She emphasized that her statement was not a concession, because "concession means to acknowledge an action is right, true, or proper", but acknowledged that she could not close the gap with Kemp to force a runoff.[64] In her campaign-ending speech, Abrams announced the creation of Fair Fight Action, a voting rights nonprofit organization that sued the secretary of state and state election board in federal court for voter suppression.[65] In April 2021, a judge allowed some claims in the legal challenge to proceed while rejecting others.[66]
Since losing the election, Abrams has repeatedly claimed that the election was not fairly conducted[67] and has declined to call Kemp the legitimate governor of Georgia.[68] Abrams has since claimed that she won the election and that the election was "stolen from the voters of Georgia", claims that election law expert Richard L. Hasen said lacked sufficient evidence.[69] Her position is that Kemp, who oversaw the election in his role as Secretary of State, had a conflict of interest and suppressed turnout by purging nearly 670,000 voter registrations in 2017, and that about 53,000 voter registrations were pending a month before the election.[67][70] She has said, "I have no empirical evidence that I would have achieved a higher number of votes. However, I have sufficient and I think legally sufficient doubt about the process to say that it was not a fair election."[67]
On November 9, 2018, the Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported that its investigation of the 2018 statewide elections in Georgia had found "no evidence ... of systematic malfeasance – or of enough tainted votes to force a runoff election".[71] A USA Today fact check noted that the actions Kemp's office took during the election "can be explained as routine under state and federal law"; political scientist Charles S. Bullock III said there is "not much empirical evidence supporting the assertion that Kemp either suppressed the vote or 'stole' the election from Abrams."[72]
Role in federal politics
On January 29, 2019, Senate minority leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) announced that Abrams would deliver the response to the State of the Union address on February 5.[73] She was the first African-American woman to give the rebuttal to the address, as well as the first and only non-office-holding person to do so since the State of the Union responses began in 1966.[74] Despite being heavily recruited by Schumer, the Democratic National Committee, and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee to challenge incumbent senator David Perdue, on April 30, 2019, Abrams announced that she would not run for the U.S. Senate in 2020.[75] After Senator Johnny Isakson announced his resignation due to poor health, Abrams declined to run in that election as well, citing a need to focus on ending voter suppression.
On August 17, 2019, Abrams announced the founding of Fair Fight 2020,[76] an organization to assist Democrats financially and technically to build voter protection teams in 20 states.[77] Abrams is Fair Fight Action 2020's chair.[78] Billionaire and former New York City mayor Michael Bloomberg contributed $5 million shortly after announcing his run for the 2020 Democratic presidential nomination.[79][80] On ABC's The View, Abrams defended Bloomberg's spending, saying: "Every person is allowed to run and should run the race that they think they should run, and Mike Bloomberg has chosen to use his finances. Other people are using their dog, their charisma, their whatever."[81] Abrams declined to endorse Bloomberg personally.[82]
During the 2020 Democratic presidential primaries, Abrams actively promoted herself for consideration as former vice president Joe Biden's running mate.[83] Biden later shortlisted Abrams for the position.[84] Kamala Harris was officially announced as Biden's running mate on August 11, 2020.[85] Abrams was selected as one of 17 speakers to jointly deliver the keynote address at the 2020 Democratic National Convention.[86]
After Biden won the 2020 U.S. presidential election, both The New York Times and The Washington Post credited Abrams with a large boost in Democratic votes in Georgia and an estimated 800,000 new voter registrations.[87][88] As part of that election, she served as an elector for the state of Georgia.[89]
2022 gubernatorial campaign
On December 1, 2021, Abrams announced she would run again for governor of Georgia.[90] She ran unopposed in the Democratic primary on May 24, 2022, and will face Georgia governor Brian Kemp in the general election on November 8, 2022.[91]
Political positions
Abrams supports abortion rights, advocates for expanded gun control, and opposes proposals for stricter voter ID laws. She has argued that some implementations of voter ID laws disenfranchise minorities and the poor,[92][93] but doesn't oppose voter ID laws in principle and supports voters having to verify their identities.[94][95] Abrams pledged to oppose legislation similar to the religious liberty bill that Governor Deal vetoed in 2016.[96][97]
Criminal justice reform
Abrams supports criminal justice reform in the form of no cash bail for poor defendants, abolishing the death penalty, and decriminalizing possession of small amounts of marijuana.[92][98] She also supports community policing to keep communities safe as part of criminal justice reform.[99]
Education
Abrams would like to increase spending on public education.[34] She opposes private school vouchers, instead advocating improvements to the public education system. She supports smaller class sizes, more school counselors, protected pensions, better pay for teachers, and expanded early childhood education.[100]
Health care
In her campaign for governor, Abrams said her top priority was Medicaid expansion.[34][101] She cited research showing that Medicaid expansion improved health care access for low-income residents and made hospitals in rural locations financially viable.[101] She also created a plan to address Georgia's high maternal mortality rate.[102]
Israeli–Palestinian conflict
Abrams is a strong supporter of Israel and rejects "the demonization and delegitimization of Israel represented" by the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions campaign, which she has called "anti-Semitic."[103][104] But she voted against Georgia's anti-BDS legislation that punishes companies that choose to boycott Israel or Israeli-occupied territories.[105] Abrams wrote, "Boycotts have been a critical part of social justice in American history, particularly for African-Americans. As the Anti-Defamation League notes, the origin of BDS is based in the anti-apartheid movement."[103]
Writing career
Outside of politics, Abrams has found success as a fiction writer. Until 2021, she published her works under the pen name Selena Montgomery. She claims to have sold more than 100,000 copies of her novels.[31] She wrote her first novel during her third year at Yale Law School and published her most recent book in 2009.[106] Her legal thriller While Justice Sleeps was published (under her own name) in May 2021.[107] That novel is being produced as a television series by Working Title Films, a subsidiary of Universal Pictures.[108][109]
Two of her nonfiction works, Our Time is Now and Lead from the Outside, were New York Times Best Sellers.[110]
Abrams has published articles on public policy, taxation, and nonprofit organizations.[111] She is the author of Minority Leader: How to Lead from the Outside and Make Real Change (published by Henry Holt & Co. in April 2018),[112] and Our Time Is Now: Power, Purpose, and the Fight for a Fair America (published by Henry Holt & Co. in June 2020).[113]

In 2012, Abrams received the John F. Kennedy New Frontier Award from the Kennedy Library and Harvard University's Institute of Politics, which honors an elected official under 40 whose work demonstrates the impact of elective public service as a way to address public challenges.[114] In 2014 Governing Magazine named her a Public Official of the Year, an award that recognizes state and local official for outstanding accomplishments.[115] Abrams was recognized as one of "12 Rising Legislators to Watch" by the same publication in 2012[116] and one of the "100 Most Influential Georgians" by Georgia Trend for 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.[117]

In 2001, Ebony magazine named Abrams one of "30 Leaders of the Future".[130] In 2004 she was named to Georgia Trend's "40 Under 40" list,[131] and the Atlanta Business Chronicle named Abrams to its "Top 50 Under 40" list. In 2006 she was named a Georgia Rising Star by Atlanta Magazine and by Law & Politics Magazine.[132]
Abrams received a single vote, from Kathleen Rice, in the 2019 election for Speaker of the U.S. House.[133]
In 2019, Abrams received the Distinguished Public Service Award from the University of Texas LBJ School of Public Affairs, where she obtained her Master's of Public Affairs in 1998. The award is the highest honor bestowed upon alumni of the school, with recipients selected by their fellow alumni. The award reflects her "remarkable leadership on behalf of her constituents as well as citizens all over this country", according to Dean Angela Evans.[134]
For her nonviolent campaign to get out the vote, Abrams has been nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize.[135] In 2021, she was included in the Time 100, Time's annual list of the 100 most influential people in the world.[136]
Abrams was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Character Voice-Over Performance in 2021 for her work on an election-themed special episode of Black-ish.[137] She lost at the 73rd Primetime Creative Arts Emmy Awards to Maya Rudolph of Big Mouth.[138]

[ru] Абрамс, Стейси
Стейси Ивонн Абрамс (англ. Stacey Yvonne Abrams [ˈeɪbrəmz][2]; родилась 9 декабря 1973) — американский политик, юрист, активистка и публицист, работала в Палате представителей штата Джорджия с 2007 по 2017 годы, занимая пост лидера меньшинства с 2011 по 2017 год.[3] Будучи членом Демократической партии, Абрамс основала в 2018 году организацию «Справедливая борьба» (Fair Fight Action), занимающуюся вопросами подавления избирательной активности.[4] Ее усилия привели к повышению явки избирателей в штате Джорджия[5], в том числе на президентских выборах 2020 года, на которых победу одержал Джо Байден, а также на выборах в Сенат США в 2020-21 гг. и на внеочередных выборах, которые дали демократам контроль над Сенатом. В 2021 году Абрамс была номинирована на Нобелевскую премию мира за ее усилия на выборах 2020 года.[6]Другой контент может иметь иную лицензию.
