Raising the minimum wage, expanding Medicaid, marijuana decriminalization — Stacey Evans pitched herself as a progressive alternative in the Democratic gubernatorial primary on Monday. Evans, a state representative from the Atlanta area, spoke to a group of about two dozen Hall County Democrats at the Gainesville Civic Center on Monday. Evans is running against former House Minority Leader Stacey Abrams for the Democratic nomination in April. Abrams resigned from the Georgia House in late August to focus on the gubernatorial race.
