Overview

• Romman, 32, a Gwinnett County state representative and the first Muslim woman elected to Georgia’s General Assembly, formally launched her bid on Monday.
• Her platform centers on raising the state minimum wage, reopening shuttered hospitals, and forcing corporations to sell single-family homes they have acquired.
• She emphasizes a face-to-face, organizing-first approach and argues Democrats need a clearer vision to energize voters who might otherwise stay home.
• Romman’s profile includes Palestinian advocacy and participation in the 2024 DNC uncommitted movement over the administration’s handling of the Israel-Hamas war, which has drawn both support and criticism.
• She becomes at least the eighth Democrat in the race alongside figures such as Keisha Lance Bottoms and Michael Thurmond, with Republicans including Burt Jones, Chris Carr, and Brad Raffensperger; the May 19, 2026 primary precedes a general election rated a toss-up by Cook and leans Republican by Sabato.
