WOMEN LEAD RIGHT TO LAUNCH CAMPAIGN TO TARGET CENTER-RIGHT SUBURBAN ATLANTA FEMALE VOTERS

ATLANTA – Women Lead Right, a new grassroots organization of women, will hold a news conference at the Georgia State Capitol, South Wing, on Monday, February 17, 2022 at 12:00 p.m.

“Everyone in the political world will be talking about the suburban, female voter this election year,” says Women Lead Right founder and former Republican state senate candidate Leah Aldridge. “Our focus will be the formerly reliable Republican female voter, who elected not to engage in Republican primaries after 2016. We must win these women back.”

“The suburban women problem” was a phrase coined by South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, after Republicans lost the U.S. House of Representatives in 2018, in large part because of the vast number of women in suburban counties across the country who fled the GOP for the Democrat party. Here, in Georgia, the 6th and 7th congressional districts flipped from reliably red to blue.

“WLR is mobilizing an army of women to motivate and bring back all center-right and independent women voters this crucial election year,” Aldridge says. “We commissioned a poll of women in Fulton, Dekalb, Cobb, and Forsyth counties, and found that women have buyer’s remorse when it comes to President Joe Biden and his agenda. Atlanta’s suburban women are extremely concerned about our economy, our schools, and their personal safety. We want to engage and educate those women on the issues, and to encourage them to make their important voices heard at the ballot box.”

“I was certainly one of those women,” says a mother of two from Cobb County. “I had voted my whole life and always voted Republican, but I got so turned off by all the political fighting by both parties, that I just tuned out. But now, between this crazy inflation and crime and worry over what our kids are learning at school, I can’t sit on the sidelines anymore. I have to support candidates who share my values.”
