Stacey Abrams Working Toward Becoming America’s First Black Female Governor

Stacey Abrams, the current Minority Leader of the House of Representatives of Georgia, could make history in 2018 by becoming the first African-American woman governor in the United States of America. Abrams has already accomplished a lot since entering the world of politics: according to her website, In 2010, Abrams became the first woman ever to become the head of a Georgia General Assembly party. Since May 2nd, 2017, she is running for the position of Governor.

A victory for Abrams would mean a victory for countless African-American girls who severely lack role models in politics. In 2014, there had only been one African-American woman to serve as Senator, two who held state-wide elected office and one who was a Mayor in an important city. Having Abrams as Governor of Georgia would show millions of African-American girls what they can accomplish and would inspire many to pursue a career in politics, one of the many fields that lack representation of this important part of the population.
