Representative Lucy McBath is a mom, a wife, an author, and an advocate.
On Black Friday in 2012, McBath’s son, Jordan Davis, was sitting in the back seat of a friend’s car at a gas station. A man pulled up next to them, complaining about the “loud music” they were playing. The man pulled out a gun and fired 10 shots into the car, hitting Jordan three times, and killing him.
After Jordan’s death, McBath dedicated her life to preventing other families from experiencing the same pain she did.

Prior to running for office, Congresswoman McBath created and administered a non-profit dedicated to improving access to education in memory of her late son, Jordan. She continues her work to strengthen our education system on the Committee on Education and Labor. Her priorities include making sure the education system works for all students and ensuring our teachers have the resources they need to help all students. She also supports measures expanding access to higher education, fully funding public schools, and making community colleges and vocational schools more affordable.
