But then, Stacy is from Georgia, and Kamala is from California. Different styles.

I'm just hoping that we can get southerners out of their homes on election day to vote for someone they're excited about.

On edit: Stacey was born in Wisconsin, moved to Mississippi as a child, but she's been in Georgia since high school.
