Reverend Raphael Warnock has just been announced as the winner in the first of Georgia’s senate run-off elections. The woman given credit for the state’s swing from Republican red to Democrat blue is former House of Representatives member and voting rights supporter Stacey Abrams. We take a closer look at her education, campaigning, and answer the question – does Stacey Abrams have a husband? Is she married? Let’s find out.
Who is Stacey Abrams?
Stacey Abrams is an American politician, voting rights activist, lawyer and former Georgia House Representative. She was born on 9 December 1973 in Madison, Wisconsin.
After middle school, Abrams moved with her family to Atlanta, Georgia, from Gulfport, Mississippi, where she lived for a while. She is the second-oldest of six siblings and received her Juris Doctorate from Yale Law School.
