‘She is our future’: A Democratic rising star seeks to make history in Georgia’s secretary of state race

Nguyen, the daughter of Vietnamese refugees, has risen swiftly in the state’s Democratic politics. The founder of an youth-focused nonprofit was first elected in late 2017 to fill the Atlanta-area state House seat then held by Stacey Abrams, who was seeking the governorship at the time. Abrams, the 2018 Democratic nominee for governor, is making her second consecutive bid for the office this year.
