"We have a responsibility to push back on lies, not turn them into legislation”

Defending Our Democracy

There’s a very vocal minority out there who will never be confident in the process so long as their candidate is not the winner.”

  • AJC (3/29/24)

  • Rep. Saira Draper fights against Republican legislation aimed at eliminating automatic voter registration and removing voting machines from Dekalb County.

  • Saira stood her ground with fellow Democrats when Republicans allowed election deniers to challenge voting eligibility for seniors, families seeking emergency shelter, and neighbors in temporary housing.

  • Lobbying against efforts to delay South Dekalb representation on the Dekalb County Commission, Saira worked with State and local officials to make sure all Dekalb County residents have representation.

@votesaira Republicans are trying to eliminate automatic voter registration in Georgia. I testified against this bad bill, pointing out that it did the opposite of what the sponsor said he wanted to accomplish with it. They wanted to rush me off. But the point had to be made. @Georgia House Democrats #gapol #elections#CapCut ♬ original sound - Rep. Saira Draper
