GA's first openly transgender lawmaker heads to capitol. Who are they?

The midterm elections in Georgia were nothing short of historic. Democrat Jon Ossoff dominated the U.S. Senate race , securing another six years in Washington and pushing MAGA Republican Mike Collins out of public office (at least for now). Former mayor of Atlanta Keisha Lance Bottoms defeated billionaire Rick Jackson to not only become the first Democratic governor in more than three decades in Georgia, but also the state's first Black governor and the first Black woman to ever hold a governor's seat in the United States. Democrats also won all of the major state-wide races from Secretary of State to the Public Service Commission, solidifying Georgia as a key wave of the "Blue Tsunami" seen across the country. But while these major races secured their spots in the history books, another historic race was playing out in DeKalb County, part of the Atlanta metro. Bentley Hudgins dominates Georgia State House District 90 Democrat Bentley Hudgins , an openly transgender and nonbinary lawmaker, dominated their race for Georgia's 90th District seat in the state house, taking home more than 27,000 votes on Atlanta's east side.

Cobb certifies election results, reports highest turnout in metro Atlanta

MARIETTA — The Cobb County Board of Elections & Voter Registration unanimously certified the results of the Nov. 3, 2026, general election at its monthly meeting Monday. “Serving voters at 13 early voting locations and 148 election day precincts took tremendous preparation, coordination, and dedication,” Cobb Elections Board Chair Jennifer Mosbacher said. “It’s not just one day of elections. These numbers reflect both an engaged community and the hard work of everyone who made voting possible. Lastly, I want to thank Cobb County voters for making your voices heard and taking part in this election.” Election certification is the final, ministerial step in the election process where preliminary election night results are made official after county election officials sign off on them. It marks the conclusion of the vote-counting and verification process known as canvassing. Cobb Elections Director Leigh Phillips reported 339,277 of Cobb’s 525,871 registered voters cast a ballot, for a 64.52% turnout rate, an increase of almost three percentage points from 2022’s 61.70% rate. Mosbacher said Cobb had the highest turnout rate in metro Atlanta, and the highest rate of any Georgia county with more than 100,000 registered voters. Democrats had overwhelming success in Cobb County, reflecting trends
