Democratic gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams said her state of Georgia is 'the worst' to live in on issues like mental health and incarceration.
"I’m running for governor because I know that we have to have a conversation about who we are in this state and what we want for each other and from each other," Abrams said during a speech at the Gwinnett Democrats' Bluetopia Gala in Norcross,"I am tired of hearing about how we’re the best state in the country to do business when we are the worst state in the country to live," she said.
Abrams acknowledged such a statement would be"politicized" and further explained that her state has lots of room for improvement on issues like mental health and incarceration.Stacey Abrams, Democratic gubernatorial candidate for Georgia, during a 'One Georgia Tour' campaign event in Atlanta, Georgia, U.S., on Monday, March 14, 2022.
"Let me contextualize," she said."When you’re No. 48 for mental health, when we’re No. 1 for maternal mortality, when you have an incarceration rate that’s on the rise and wages that are on the decline, then you are not the No. 1 place to live." "Georgia is capable of greatness, but we need greatness to be in our governor’s office. We need someone who actually believes in bringing all of us in there together," she added.
