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 |
| To have no proud monarch driving over me with his gilt coaches; nor his host of excise-men and tax-gatherers insulting and robbing me; but to be my own master, my own prince and sovereign, gloriously preserving my national dignity, and pursuing my true happiness; planting my vineyards, and eating their luscious fruits; and sowing my fields, and reaping the golden grain: and seeing millions of brothers all around me, equally free and happy as myself. This, sir, is what I long for. -- General Francis Marion, American War of Independence, Georgetown, SC [Source: 'Marion, The Life of Gen. Francis Marion' by M. L. Weems, Ch.18] |
