Bee Nguyen grew up in Augusta, Georgia, and graduated from a Georgia public high school. After she moved to Atlanta to attend Georgia State University, she started a local nonprofit to educate and empower young women. She spent a decade in Georgia public high schools, where she learned how to organize with her community and demand change for her students.

Bee made history when she was elected to Georgia House District 89, the seat formerly held by Stacey Abrams. At the Georgia State Capitol, Bee has been a leading advocate for public education, criminal justice reform, and voting rights. During her tenure, Bee successfully overturned the “exact match” voter registration law and restored the right to vote for the 53,000 Georgians impacted by the policy.

Bee knows firsthand the importance of a free and fair democracy — and that’s why she’s running to be Georgia’s next Secretary of State.
