Part of that is making sure the Secretary of State is working collaboratively with all 159 counties at providing adequate training and adequate resources to hold efficient elections in all of our counties. One of the priorities would be tackling some of the challenges that we have as it pertains to elections. If elected, what would be your top priorities?ДЄ.There is a tremendous opportunity to make a difference in the lives of millions of Georgians, not just through the elections division, but all the other divisions, as well. The secretary of stateвЂ™s position is a critical office, and part of what we need to do in order to protect the right to vote for Georgians. IвЂ™ve been involved with voting rights since IвЂ™ve been elected from a legislative standpoint, but IвЂ™ve also done hundreds of hours of voter protection work, and I recognize, being in the midst of this fight, that we need, now more than ever, a secretary of state who can safeguard our democracy and stand up against the misinformation and lies but also support voter expansion. Why are you running for Secretary of State?ДЄ. Nguyen wants to be GeorgiaвЂ™s next Secretary of State.ДЄtlanta Civic Circle talked to the Atlanta resident about her plans if sheвЂ™s elected, GeorgiaвЂ™s new election reform law, and the lawвЂ™s pending impact on the future role of GeorgiaвЂ™s chief elections officer. And thought вЂHow did we get to this place and what do we need to do to move forward from there?вЂ™ вЂќ It was elected officials across our country who were standing up for truth and facts, as well as our election workers. вЂњI was met with death threats and recognized that it wasnвЂ™t just me. вЂњI was able to take down TrumpвЂ™s legal team,вЂќ Nguyen told Atlanta Civic Circle of last yearвЂ™s hearing. She was GeorgiaвЂ™s first Vietnamese-American state representative. The 12-minute exchange proved to be a crystallizing moment for Nguyen, who made history when she took over Stacey AbramsвЂ™ seat in the statehouse in 2017. NguyenвЂ™s deft dissection of Team TrumpвЂ™s claims of fraud drew national attention - and death threats. The lawmakerвЂ™s fact-checking finesse last year discounted claims by former President TrumpвЂ™s legal team - headed by former New York Mayor Rudy Guilliani - that thousands of illegal ballots were cast in Georgia during the 2020 presidential election. Bee Nguyen is not one to back down from a fight, especially when it involves exposing dishonesty.
