Politician, lawyer, author and activist I served in the Georgia House of Representatives from 2006-2017. I became the first woman to lead either party in the Georgia General Assembly in 2010, occupying the role for her last seven years in office. Following an unsuccessful run for Georgia governor in 2018, I founded Fair Fight, an organization that helped register at least 800,000 new voters in Georgia ahead of the 2020 general election. In addition to a political career, I also published eight romantic suspense novels under the pen name Selena Montgomery.
