Former Georgia lawmaker Stacey Abrams is laying the groundwork for the White House

WASHINGTON _ Stacey Abrams has her sights set on the White House, and the former minority leader of the Georgia House of Representatives is already laying the groundwork for a future campaign.

Promotion of her Fair Fight organization, which has a goal of eliminating voter suppression, is taking Abrams to battleground states across the nation. She made appearances at events put on by state Democratic parties in Florida and Arizona in February, and she plans to travel to more states in the months ahead.

She says it is all about advocating for voting rights on behalf of the organization she founded after Republican Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp barely defeated her in the state's 2018 gubernatorial election. She says her effort to ensure all eligible Americans are able to cast ballots in 2020 and that everyone is counted in the once-a-decade census are her only immediate priorities.
