Georgia swamp officially drained of Karen Handel.





Democrat and gun-control advocate Lucy McBath defeated Republican U.S. Representative Karen Handel in a congressional race in Georgia, racking up another seat for Democrats who won control of the House of Representative in Tuesday’s elections.

The closely fought race in Georgia’s Sixth Congressional District was one of 10 House races remaining to be decided.

“This win is just the beginning. We’ve sent a strong message to the entire country,” McBath said on Twitter on Thursday morning. “Absolutely nothing – no politician & no special interest – is more powerful than a mother on a mission.”

McBath’s son, 17-year-old Jordan Davis, was a black teenager killed when a white man fired 10 rounds at a vehicle carrying four teens in a Jacksonville gas station parking lot in November 2012. The gunman complained that he and his friends were playing music too loudly in their car.

and Tom Price served. Never expected that, and McBath is a first time campaigner who ran strictly on the issues.
