Former Georgia House of Representatives Minority Leader Stacey Abrams speaks ahead of former President Barack Obama's address in Atlanta on Nov. 2, 2020.With the Democrats’ newfound control of the Senate, many have been praising former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams for her critical work on voter mobilization, including those in the Asian American community, a group that’s historically been neglected by political campaigns.
"Without a doubt in my mind, Stacey Abrams helped transform the electorate in Georgia by organizing and empowering the Asian American community,” Park said. “When Stacey Abrams was the State Representative for House District 89 and State House Minority Leader, she was definitely among the few representatives that consistently showed up at AAPI events in the community,” Madli said.
Abrams also proved instrumental in the careers of many young AAPI including Park, who said that she actively supported and encouraged him during her tenure as leader of the state’s Democratic Caucus. Park won the race, becoming the first Asian American Democrat elected to the Georgia Legislature, as well as the first openly gay legislator to hold that seat. Now, there are a total of five Asian American Democrats serving in the Georgia General Assembly.
