Georgia’s 2026 midterm election marks a historic moment for the state, reflecting the growing political participation and leadership of communities that have long fought for representation and equal access to the democratic process.

With the election of Keisha Lance Bottoms as Georgia’s first black woman governor, alongside the election of 14 AAPI leaders to Georgia Congress, this election represents a significant milestone in the state’s history. This election season, Advancing Justice-Atlanta staff and volunteers knocked on 45,000 doors in AAPI and immigrant neighborhoods and trained over 50 Election Protection volunteers who supported voters at 15 polling locations across Gwinnett, Fulton, Cobb, and DeKalb counties in 13 languages. Advancing Justice-Atlanta will work with newly elected leaders to protect immigrant families from unlawful enforcement by ICE and other federal agencies, clear the naturalization backlog, expand language access, and defend the voting rights of every eligible Georgian, including naturalized citizens. The organization will continue organizing so that AAPI, immigrants, and communities of color are heard in policy decisions long after the votes are counted. read our full statement: www.advancingjustice-atlanta.org/news/ga-midterm-2026
