Five Questions with Lauren Groh-Wargo
Lauren Groh-Wargo is a political strategist, executive, and advocate for economic and voting justice. As CEO and co-founder of Fair Fight, she helped build the infrastructure that turned Georgia into a national battleground and led efforts that secured two Democratic U.S. Senate victories in 2021.
Since then, her insight into our politics, combined with her understanding of the way the Republican Party is attacking voting rights, have made her a power to be reckoned with. Tonight, we turn to her for guidance on Louisiana v. Callais, the gerrymandering case that will be argued, for the second time, in front of the Supreme Court next Wednesday.
A longtime strategist for Stacey Abrams, Lauren managed Abrams’ record-breaking gubernatorial campaigns and has spent more than two decades organizing, advising, and leading campaigns to expand democracy and opportunity across the country. Originally from Ohio, she lives in Atlanta with her partner and son.
