Ali wins Georgia race, becoming the youngest state lawmaker.

[Cattledog]

Democratic candidate Muhammad Akbar Ali won a runoff election for a Gwinnett County state House seat, according to unofficial results from the Secretary of State’s website Tuesday night, defeating fellow Democrat Marqus Cole.

At 21, Ali is set to become the youngest state legislator currently serving in Georgia, stealing the title of youngest lawmaker from Democratic Rep. Bryce Berry of Atlanta.

3. Yes it has.

We moved to Gwinnett county forty years ago. It was solid red. Not so much now.

4. This is one way to counter unemployment

for young people—weak job prospects force them to run for office, fight for their generation, and clean this $hit all up. No longer do you need to be wealthy, a lawyer, or connections when they can merely have a huge online following or just have strategic ways to reach their peers.

This should be a real movement.
