Tonight, following Democrat Eric Gisler’s victory in the special election in HD 121 – a Trump +12 district – Democratic Party of Georgia Chair Charlie Bailey released the following statement:
“The Democratic Party of Georgia congratulates Eric Gisler on his stunning upset victory in the HD 121 special election – a massive Democratic overperformance in a district that voted resoundingly Republican in 2024. This isn’t just a win for Georgia Democrats – it’s a win for every family in Oconee and Clarke Counties who has been struggling to get ahead under 22 years of failed Republican leadership.
“All across the state, Georgians are realizing there’s only one party that’s working to lower costs, keep health care affordable, and put people ahead of big corporations – and that’s the Democratic Party. Our momentum is only growing, and we will continue outworking, out-organizing, and out-strategizing Republicans to turn it into more wins for the people of Georgia in 2026.”
The Democratic Party of Georgia made a $50,000 investment in paid media in the HD121 race on top of volunteer recruitment for phone banks and canvasses.
