Thanks to Nikema
We, the Barrow County Democratic Committee, humbly thank the Democratic Party of Georgia’s first Black woman, Congresswoman Nikema Williams, for manning the many duties and responsibilities as Chair and as a member of Congress. Her leadership netted several significant wins within our state as she steered us to garner crucial statewide wins during the last three election cycles. While wearing many hats and handling a bevy of responsibilities with grace and grit, she brought stability and direction to our party.
We express our sincere gratitude for her leadership, guidance, and support. We really appreciate the positive environment and opportunities she and her team have fostered within all 159 Georgia counties.
Nikema serves her district, our party, and our country with dignity and respect. Thank you, and keep that infectious smile shining bright!
We are now in the process of moving ahead with the search and hiring of a new full-time Chair. Matthew Wilson will serve as the interim Chair until a special election is held. Election details will be forthcoming.
Now we are stepping forward with renewed vim, vigor, determination, and excitement! We are ready to work in unison with our DPG partners and sister counties under the guidance of our new Chair. Goals, plans, and dedication go into flipping the State House and Senate, re-electing Senator Jon Ossoff, and preparing to take the Governor’s seat in 2026.
We’ve got work to do! Let’s get it done!
