On April 29th, the U.S. Supreme Court ruled 6–3 in Louisiana v. Callais, gutting Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act — the primary federal tool Black voters in the South have used to challenge discriminatory maps and laws for over 60 years. With federal protections dramatically narrowed, state appellate courts are now a critical line of defense for individual rights. Will Wooten is running for the Georgia Court of Appeals. He served on the prosecution team that took Donald Trump to court on Georgia election interference charges. He believes judges must be independent, principled, and loyal to the Constitution — not politics. He is challenging Judge E. Trenton Brown III for a seat on the Georgia Court of Appeals. ⟶ Early voting ends Friday, May 15, 2026 ⟶ Election Day: Tuesday, May 19, 2026 Find your polling place: https://yourgeorgiaballot.com Learn more about Will Wooten: https://www.wootenforga.com @GeorgiaDemocrat
