#CapitolKaren Rep. Darlene Taylor

Who is Rep. Darlene Taylor?

Our state is changing. 100% of Georgia’s growth can be attributed to people of color. Not only did Rep. Taylor (HD-173) and her GOP friends violate House rules to force three democratic county commissioners out of their districts; But she called the cops on her black colleague when he called them out on it.

We need representatives who are compassionate about their constituents, understands real world issues, follows rules, and takes the true will of the people into account. It’s time to hold our legislators accountable to the oath they took.
