ATLANTA (AP) — A Georgia state House member who advocated for Palestinians at the 2024 Democratic National Convention is entering the state’s race for governor. Ruwa Romman announced her 2026 bid for governor on Monday, saying Democrats need a clearer vision and greater focus on organizing voters. Romman and other Democrats hope to break the Republicans’ 24-year hold on the state’s top office, with Gov. Born in Jordan and the granddaughter of Palestinian refugees, Romman was proposed as a speaker at the convention. That’s been a bedrock belief of Georgia Democrats allied with two-time Democratic nominee for governor Stacey Abrams, but has yet to translate into a stable Democratic majority.
