A Discussion with Representative Ruwa Romman, Candidate for Governor of Georgia

2026 is an election year, and we have no intention of ignoring it!

We are joined by candidate for Governor of Georgia, Representative Ruwa Romman.

Ruwa represents GA’s 97th House of Representatives district in Gwinnett County and is the first Muslim and Palestinian woman to ever be elected to the GA House of Representatives. She is a long time organizer, served as a delegate of the Uncommitted movement in 2024, and has a plan to build an affordable, better Georgia for ALL, not just the 1%.

In this conversation we hit on hot-button issues such as internal Democratic Party conflict, police and ICE brutality, overcoming identity-based gaps in building a winning coalition, and the importance of building a mass movement that will not only bring good candidates into office, but govern alongside them and hold them accountable.

Not from Georgia? No worries, this conversation has something for everyone!
