U.S. Representative Lucy McBath, who represents Georgia’s 7th district in Congress, has recently addressed several political developments through her social media posts. McBath, who replaced Karen Handel in 2019 and secured re-election in 2024 by defeating Jeff Criswell with 74.7% of the vote, used her platform to comment on election integrity, congressional actions, and gun violence.
On September 3, 2025, McBath criticized actions by Georgia Republicans regarding Democratic election board members: “The recent attempt by Georgia Republicans to fine—and even jail—Democratic election board members for refusing to seat election deniers is a dangerous escalation of political games that undermine our democracy. Those who don’t respect our elections can’t be trusted to oversee”.
Later that day, she commented on an unsuccessful censure effort against a fellow lawmaker: “House Republican Leadership just tried and FAILED to censure our colleague @RepLaMonica. She was sent by the people of New Jersey’s 10th to be their voice, and has done so fearlessly. The political targeting of her is a clear attempt to give more power to this President’s https://t.co/5SqMjyPd7N”.
On September 4, 2025, McBath referenced a letter sent to Speaker Mike Johnson following a school shooting incident: “Read more about our letter to Speaker Mike Johnson in the wake of the deadly school shooting in Minnesota: https://t.co/TgtGlXLwTN”.
Lucy McBath continues her legislative work as a member of Congress after winning re-election against Jeff Criswell in 2024 with nearly three-quarters of the vote. She remains active on issues related to democratic processes and public safety.
