MEET RAHUL GARABADU
A Proven Fighter
When Georgia Republicans rigged our district maps, Rahul sued and won. When conditions inside a Georgia county jail turned deadly, he held authorities accountable. When daycares turned away toddlers with disabilities, he made sure families got justice. Rahul hasn’t just fought for Georgians, he’s won for Georgians.
The son of Indian immigrants, Rahul grew up watching his parents sacrifice so much so that he could pursue his dreams. A proud product of Georgia public schools, Rahul went on to graduate from Georgetown University and Harvard Law School.
After Harvard Law, he could have gone anywhere. But Rahul came home to Georgia to dedicate his career to civil rights. As an ACLU lawyer, he fought to protect the right to vote. As a civil rights prosecutor, he fought for justice to make sure everyone had a fair shake. And when Donald Trump’s cronies took over the Department of Justice and dismantled civil rights enforcement, Rahul refused to sacrifice his values. He left the job he loved because his principles mattered more.
Now he’s running for District 7 to fight for you.
Today, Rahul lives in Norcross with his wife, Julia, a physician. He is running for State Senate to protect our community and make sure Georgia is not only a place to live, but a place to thrive.
PRIORITIES
-
As a millennial, Rahul has seen first hand how the American Dream has become increasingly out of reach. Groceries are too expensive, rents are too high, and owning a home has become impossible for many. As a state legislator, Rahul will take on politicians in the pockets of corporations and champion policies that put more money back in the pockets of hardworking families.
-
As masked ICE agents descend on our communities to wreak havoc, it is more important than ever to have a civil rights champion in the State Senate. As the son of immigrants, Rahul knows firsthand that immigrants make our community stronger and safer. He also knows that immigrant communities are vulnerable to government overreach. In the legislature, he’ll fight to protect our communities, stand up to Donald Trump’s attacks, and ensure District 7 remains safe for everyone.
-
Rahul has dedicated his entire career to protecting the right to vote. He has sued the State of Georgia over fair electoral maps and won. He has prevented thousands of voters from being unlawfully kicked off the voter rolls. And he has ensured that polling locations across the state stayed open. In the legislature, he will continue to fight to protect access to the ballot to ensure every Georgian’s voice can be heard.
-
As the husband of a physician, Rahul has seen how the cost of healthcare has affected families across the district. Too many families are one healthcare crisis away from financial ruin. Rahul will fight to expand Medicaid in Georgia, close the coverage gap, and lower the crippling costs of healthcare in the state.
