Introducing new leaders to the nation and bringing them along is what her speech at our 2016 Democratic Party convention was about, and here she is!

Btw, I didn't realize when I voted for her that she was the first black woman who's run for governor in the entire nation. Good grief! And it's not just Democrats, but Georgia Democrats leading the way. Not actually so strange when you think about it.
