State Rep | Running for SD 7 and building a movement for a Georgia we can afford 🍑 | Early Voting: October 13 - 30 | Election Day: November 3 linktr.ee/ruwaforgeorgia
Happy Friday, y'all! For those who went back to school this week, you survived the first week! In the most recent edition of The Ruwa Report, I talk about why Dr. Abdul El Sayed won, and how he beat an 11:1 spending difference. And, we are back on the campaign trail! Join us this weekend!
the many >>>>>> the money From Georgia, to Michigan, to Tennessee, we are building a movement to take back our government so that it works for us instead of corporations and special interests.
I joined Abdul El-Sayed, Saline Indivisible, and other Michigan community members at the site of “The Barn” data center to stand in solidarity with the community opposing the project. From Michigan to Georgia to Missouri, we’re building a movement of the many beating the money.
Haley leans deeper into the dog whistling, calls a heavily credentialed man “buddy,” and in her list of issues doesn’t mention DTE once. On the other hand, Abdul stood with community members in Saline fighting a data center and launched another massive canvass with Andy Levin.
We're about to have a new look...here's why. But let me be clear, when it comes to fighting for workers and their rights and better wages, that fight will not stop.
Tragic ending to what would’ve been an amazing legacy for Big Gretch. She reversed harmful policies and did so much with a split government. Now, she’s ending it with this photo, supporting data centers, vetoing bills her own party fought for, and this.
Now that that stressful match is over, I can truly enjoy the Beliebe sign
It was an honor to join community members and labor leaders to support Jacobus Energy Workers exercising their right to form a union with Teamsters Local 728!
I’ll share it, because I think this rampant anti-Muslim and anti-Arab bigotry is not only accepted by a dying wing of our party but being used to win primaries (see Abdul). It’s on us to see it, shun it, and protect our coalition.
For those able, please consider dropping off a donation at Guayoyo Coffee in our district. Suggested items including shelf stable foods, toiletries, and other basic necessities.
It’s been a year since @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social won his primary, and I’ve seen so many people ask where is their “Zohran.” Often they’re looking for effective leaders who put them first. The reality is, we build the movements that make those leaders over many years. So, let’s get to work y’all!
You’ve probably heard news about an important tax vote we had today. Republicans walked out grinning about attacking us in November, but it’s already backfiring. Why? It’s pretty simple. We should not be adding new taxes during an affordability crisis.
Our jobs as elected officials is to do everything in our power to stand up for our constituents. This moment demands more of all of us to end the practice of sacrificing black and brown voters on the alter of greed and power. 1/
The past 24 hours have been surreal. From winning our primary to celebrating with friends to the beginning of special session to defeating redistricting efforts (for now). Tomorrow we begin day 2 of special session.
I truly believe this is how we’re gonna win Georgia. Consistent outreach. Showing up. Providing a better vision. Our multifaith, multiracial, and multigenerational coalition is the future. And btw, I think we can kill the maps too. Onwards y’all! 4/
Last night still feels unreal. This was a massive team effort. We showed the many can beat the money, that we don’t have to go negative, and that *field still matters.* Some numbers: - Our results were 60.01/39.99 - We won the SD7 special by 374 votes - Josh won Gwinnett by 676 votes 1/
Election Day is tomorrow! Every vote will count. Just ask our friend Sam Foster whose race came down to 89 votes! Polling locations are open 7am to 7pm tomorrow. You can check all your voter details on mvp.sos.ga.gov
Anyone who has seen even a tiny fraction of our work knows our ethos is we don’t back down or quit. Ever. Until the fight is over, we have an obligation to try. It’s why we refused to listen when people said we can’t turn SD7 around. 2/
While we’re pushing ourselves to the brink to keep SD7 blue, our opponent is launching ads saying I quit the State House, a lie. I’m still a sitting State Rep. On top of that, his reports are full of max outs from some of the most pro war and pro Israel people in the state 1/

Thank you to every single person who came out to: ✨THE BIGGEST CANVASS THIS DISTRICT HAS EVER SEEN✨ Because of you, we knocked 1814 doors and had 405 conversations!!!! We're closing the gap, but the fight isn't over yet. Republicans are still ahead. Join us as we finish strong ahead of Tuesday!
It's our last roll up of events and volunteer opportunities of this primary! Whether you want to canvass, phonebank, party with us, or all the above, we cannot wait to see you!
Because of your advocacy, we were able to stop 90% of bad Republican bills. Help us win this runoff so we can keep up the momentum and keep up the fight to make healthcare more affordable, protect our communities from ICE, lower utility costs, and stop Republican efforts to suppress our vote!
For those who haven’t been following, there is my regular primary runoff so Democrat vs Democrat But the special is now between a Democrat AND a Republican. Right now, they’re on track to win.
✨Good morning sunshines! ✨ 👟Lace up your shoes 👯♀️Grab a friend 🗣️Spread the word We are having……. ✨THE BIGGEST CANVASS THIS DISTRICT HAS EVER SEEN✨ 1/
Oftentimes, Pride Month is full of mostly corporate merch and hollow slogans. It should be a commitment to each other. We cannot protect our own freedoms while taking anyone else's away. Any laws written to oppress a group of people inevitably impacts all of us.
We're in a runoff, so we brought out an expert to help us in this last push! I truly believe this is our year Georgia! We can make healthcare more affordable, protect our communities from ICE, lower utility costs, and stop Republican efforts to suppress our vote, together!
It's time to end the almost 30 year Republican rule of our state so we can make healthcare more affordable, protect our communities from ICE, lower utility costs, and stop Republican efforts to suppress our vote.
