Lucy McBath, the mother of Jordan Davis who was killed over loud music, has won a Georgia Congressional seat.
The gun control and racial justice activist won a very close election decided Thursday morning, reports NY Times.
Lucy McBath Georgia Congressional defeated the Republican incumbent Karen Handel
Though Ms. Handel did not concede the race until Thursday morning, Ms. McBath claimed victory in a statement released Wednesday.

“Six years ago I went from a Marietta mom to a mother on a mission,” she said, referencing her teenage son’s death.
Jordan Davis, Ms. McBath’s son, was 17 when he was shot and killed by a white man at a gas station after refusing to turn down the volume of the rap music playing in his car.
