Rep. Shelly Hutchinson
Georgia State House, District 107
ABOUT SHELLY HUTCHINSON:
Representative Shelly Hutchinson has served as a member of the Georgia House of Representatives since 2019, representing District 107. She has been a strong advocate for expanding voting rights and ballot access, as well as other issues that impact communities of color. We’re excited to support Rep. Hutchinson in her reelection campaign because we believe that Rep. Hutchinson will continue to fight for a more inclusive Georgia for all.
WHY WE’RE ENDORSING SHELLY:
Shelly Hutchinson was born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. She attained a Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice from LSU. After moving to Atlanta, she went on to earn a Master’s in Social Work from UGA. She worked for the Fulton County Department of Family & Children Services, and later founded a mental health treatment center in 2002. Since 2019, Hutchinson has proudly represented District 107 at the Georgia State House.
As a Clinical Social Worker, Rep. Hutchinson advocates for providing community members with adequate resources, like mental health, education, and healthcare services as they contribute to the well-being of Georgians. Rep. Hutchinson understands how the inaccessibility to quality mental health services and healthcare are hurtful and can disproportionately impact communities of color. She believes that providing support for families in times of difficulty can strengthen Georgia communities and families.
Rep. Hutchinson is a strong advocate for racial and criminal justice. In the State House, Rep. Hutchinson has co-sponsored progressive criminal justice bills, like HB 1255 for standards for use of force by law enforcement. Moreover, she is strongly against providing police protections; rather, she is vocal about the need for stronger accountability measures amongst police.
We believe Representative Shelly Hutchinson will continue to advocate for marginalized communities and all Georgians after her re-election. The Asian American Advocacy Fund is proud to endorse Rep. Shelly Hutchinson for House District 107!
