With the Democrats’ newfound control of the Senate, many have been praising former Georgia House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams for her critical work on voter mobilization, including those in the Asian American community, a group that’s historically been neglected by political campaigns.

Sam Park, a Georgia state representative who once interned for Abrams, told NBC Asian America that as the state's House minority leader from 2011 to 2017, she regularly appeared on Radio Korea to inform the state’s Korean population of what was going on under the Gold Dome.

"Without a doubt in my mind, Stacey Abrams helped transform the electorate in Georgia by organizing and empowering the Asian American community,” Park said.

And after it was revealed that Georgia had voted for president-elect Joe Biden, making it the first time the state swung blue since 1992, Abrams thanked a variety of organizations for their outreach efforts, including the legal advocacy nonprofit Asian Americans Advancing Justice-Atlanta.

“When Stacey Abrams was the State Representative for House District 89 and State House Minority Leader, she was definitely among the few representatives that consistently showed up at AAPI events in the community,” Madli said.

Abrams went on to launch the first statewide campaign in Georgia to have a comprehensive Asian American program with an Asian American staff leading a multilingual outreach effort, Park said.
