CANDIDATE BACKGROUND

Representative Lucy McBath is running for a fourth term to represent Georgia’s 7th Congressional District. After a 30-year career with Delta Air Lines, her second career is focused on reform that will make our communities safer and better for every American of every background. McBath’s passion for public service was awakened by her family’s tragedy in 2012. She is the mother of Jordan Davis, who was shot and killed at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida that year by a man objecting to the music he was playing in his car. McBath feels strongly that climate change represents an existential threat to our environment. In Congress, McBath will fight for larger investments into alternative, clean sources of fuel, and McBath will support legislation that would increase subsidies for homeowners who wish to utilize solar and other forms of clean energy. Representative McBath has earned a stellar lifetime score of 97% on LCV’s National Environmental Scorecard. Representative McBath is endorsed by LCV Action Fund and NRDC Action Fund.
