在中期选举中，佐治亚州民主党在关键州级和地方职位上取得重大胜利，其中基莎·兰斯·博托姆斯创造历史，成为首位当选州长的黑人女性，也是20多年来首位担任该职务的民主党人。现任参议员乔恩·奥索夫也成功连任，击败了共和党众议员迈克·柯林斯。
Georgia Democrats scored major victories in key state and local during the midterm elections, including Keisha Lance Bottoms making history as the first Black woman elected governor and the first Democrat in more than 20 years to hold that office. Incumbent senator Jon Osoff also defended his seat, defeating Republican Rep. Mike Collins.
曾在2018年和2022年竞选佐治亚州州长、并创立“公平斗争行动”组织以打击选民压制的斯泰西·艾布拉姆斯，为本党在家乡州未来的成功铺平了道路。
Stacey Abrams, who ran for governor of Georgia in 2018 and 2022 and founded Fair Fight Action to combat voter suppression, played a vital role in paving the way for future successes for her party in her home state.
艾布拉姆斯对美国国家公共电台（NPR）的米歇尔·马丁表示，如今佐治亚州在州长、检察长、州务卿和州众议院均赢得民主党胜利，这些胜利为“我们提供了一个开始纠正和恢复权利的机会，这些权利在南方已失落20多年。”她说，她所做的工作不仅关乎重建民主党，也关乎恢复民众的信任，这需要时间。艾布拉姆斯表示，每个选举周期及其间隔期都在延续这一努力。
Abrams told NPR's Michel Martin that now that Georgia has won Democratic victories for governor, attorney general, secretary of state and in the state house, those wins provide "us an opportunity to start correcting and restoring rights that we've seen lost across the South for more than 20 years." She said the work she has done has not only been about rebuilding the Democratic Party but also restoring people's trust, which takes time. With each election cycle and the time in between has been about continuing that effort, Abrams said.
她补充说，她感激打击她所称的选民压制的工作促成了这一结果，因为这表明对话和坚持会带来回报。点击上方蓝色按钮收听完整采访。
