• "I signed the John Lewis Voting Rights Act. I restored the protections that were gutted in 2013. I made it easier to vote, not harder. But the other side wants to undo it all."

• "Black voters in Georgia have changed the course of history. You showed up in 2020. You showed up in 2022. You showed up in 2024. And you will show up again. But you deserve more than just a thank you. You deserve action."

• "This election is a choice between two futures. One future protects the right to vote. The other makes it harder. One future invests in Black communities. The other leaves them behind."
