"I am a young, Asian, non-binary, queer candidate, that is also a union member, an abolitionist and someone who is working to defend democracy. I have dedicated my entire adult life to building power for people in the new American majority."

"

As a deaf, queer Asian-American growing up during the economic turmoil of the Great Recession, they have seen the impact and violence of poor leadership. Tough life experiences shaped them into the advocate that they are today.

  • After graduating from college, they came back to Atlanta, stepped into thier own power, embraced their non-binary gender identity and organized new spaces for LGBTQ+ Asian-Americans.

Bridgemon is a political consultant and activist who has worked on several major campaigns, including campaigning for president Biden and helping him secure Georgia in the 2020 election. He decided to put his efforts behind Bentley because he was the most progressive candidate running in the elections in Georgia. Bridgemon's role as campaign manager will not be easy but he is confident that they will knock on enough doors and reach enough people to secure the election.

No stranger to politics, Erika has worked on campaigns canvasing for several federal, state, and local elections before she connected with Bentley through the Cob County Democratic Committee. Her role as Field Director means that she is in charge of making sure that volunteers & canvassers are getting the word out about the campaign and ensuring that people show up to vote for Bentley in the midterm.
