Who Is Stacey Evans, Really?

She campaigns as a working-class fighter from Ringgold. But her decade-plus voting record tells a more complicated story, one her campaign website leaves out entirely.

The Story She Tells

A Working-Class Fighter from Ringgold

Evans grew up in Ringgold, Georgia, raised by a single mother who worked in carpet factories. She became the first in her family to attend college, earning degrees from the University of Georgia. She became an attorney and later a state representative.

She frames this background as the source of her progressive values, claiming to understand working-class struggles firsthand.

It’s a compelling origin story. The problem is what she did with the power voters gave her.

What She Did With Power

  • ✗ Voted for a flat tax that hurts working-class Georgians like her family
  • ✗ Voted to cut corporate tax rates, draining public resources
  • ✗ Voted for charter school privatization bills across multiple sessions
  • ✗ Voted for mandatory minimums, the opposite of criminal justice reform
  • ✗ Defended police crackdowns on civil rights protesters
  • ✗ Missed 134 votes while collecting a legislative salary
