The fatal shooting of Jordan Davis in 2012 made McBath a national figure during a time that the shooting deaths of unarmed African-Americans and gun control were hotly debated. In her grief, she became an activist speaking out against “stand your ground” self-defense laws and advocating for tighter gun laws.
That led to politics, most notably as a surrogate during Hillary Clinton’s 2016 campaign. Democrats in Georgia took note and recruited McBath, who lives in Marietta, to run for a seat in the General Assembly. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
