Welcome To Congress Lucy McBath!

Lucy McBath flipped the Sixth. She is the mother of murder victim Jordan Davis. The Florida teen was murdered by a white man over hip-hop music. Lucy's stunning upset against Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA) helped the Democrats win the House of Representatives.

Take notes Jon Ossoff, if you want to be a Democrat that acts like a Republican, prepare for defeat.

The mother of slain teen Jordan Davis won her race against Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA).

Only 18 months ago, Handel won barely against Ossoff, a documentary filmmaker and activist. The district was once held by Tom Price, the disgraced Health and Human Services Secretary forced out by scandal. The seat was once held by that washed up potato, Newt Gingrich.

Lucy McBath, the mother of Florida teen Jordan Davis was victorious in her race for the 6th Congressional District of Georgia. The suburban Atlanta area often sways for Republicans. A seat that was in Republican control for over 30 years is now in the hands of a progressive.

McBath is part of the "Mothers of a Movement." She along with Sybrina Fulton (Trayvon Martin) and Leslie McSpadden (Michael Brown) wanted Congress to focus on police reform and the prosecution of individuals who shoot unarmed people of color.

McBath's surprise victory makes me feel confident in 2020.

She was motivated to run. She was a supporter of Moms Demand Action, a group started by the mothers of Sandy Hook, the most deadliest school shooting of the decade.

This win is just the beginning. We’ve sent a strong message to the entire country. Absolutely nothing - no politician & no special interest - is more powerful than a mother on a mission.

As a former cancer survivor, Lucy McBath had to fight a lot of battles. To see the man who kill her son over rap music was infuriating.

In 2012, Jordan Davis and his friends were in a Jacksonville gas station with music blaring. The suspect, Michael Dunn was upset that the music disturbed him and his girlfriend pumping gas.

Dunn ordered them to turn off the music. Davis smarted off to the suspect. After a brief exchange of words, Dunn pulled out his firearm and shot at the vehicle. He managed to shoot Jordan five times and injure his friends from shattered glass.

Dunn would retreat into his car and head to the hotel. He ordered a pizza and wings. It took three days to apprehend Dunn. The suspect claimed he was using the "Stand Your Ground" law.

The jury initially claimed that it was second degree murder and involuntary homicide. It ended in a mistrial.

Rep. Karen Handel (R-GA) concedes to newcomer Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis.

The second trial managed to serve Dunn on first degree murder. Dunn is now in the iron college for LIFE and no outside.

McBath's victory in the suburban Atlanta district, long a Republican stronghold, could be seen as a turning point for Democrats seeking to change the state from red to purple. McBath's district, much like the rest of Georgia, has grown increasingly diverse in recent years, with more people of color, and likely Democrats, moving in.

Handel conceded this morning.

After carefully reviewing all of the election results, it is clear that I came up a bit short on Tuesday. Congratulations to Representative-Elect Lucy McBath & I send her only good thoughts and much prayer for the journey that lies ahead for her.

McBath's race also may have reflected Americans' evolving views on gun control. She campaigned on a bold gun control platform in a state with gun-friendly laws in the heart of the Deep South, which has some of the nation’s highest rates of gun ownership.

We need more candidates who will stand up to the National Rifle Association, Donald J. Trump, Fox News and the right wing smear machine.

Fuck the thoughts and prayers. I won't heal the wounded or bring back the dead.

We need action and if we can get more Lucy McBaths out there, I am down for that.

She will join a handful of newbies to the House of Representatives. Alexandra Ocasio Cortez is the darling of the progressive movement. She endorsed many of these candidates. McBath is blessed to have her support.

Now onward to 2020. We must find a candidate willing to stop Trump.

Donald J. Trump has a 75% chance of winning reelection.
