Today, Gwinnett County Commissioner Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson (D) endorsed current Georgia’s 7th District Congresswoman Carolyn Bourdeaux for reelection. Chairwoman Hendrickson has worked closely with Congresswoman Bourdeaux throughout the COVID-19 pandemic to address the needs of Gwinnett County.

Gwinnett County Board of Commissioners Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson said, “Congresswoman Bourdeaux has worked hand-in-hand with Gwinnett County to protect our community during the COVID-19 pandemic and set us up for success. I have seen her attention to detail and keen policy focus firsthand, and I know I can trust her to deliver for Gwinnett. We are all fortunate to have her fighting for us in Washington.”

Congresswoman Carolyn Bourdeaux said, “I greatly appreciate Chairwoman Nicole Love Hendrickson’s endorsement for Georgia’s 7th Congressional District. Nicole and I have worked closely to revitalize local abandoned malls, support our transit needs, organize vaccine drives and so much more. Together we'll continue fighting and delivering for our community.”
