JOHNS CREEK, GA — Ashwin Ramaswami’s campaign for Georgia State Senate has continued to gain momentum in his race against incumbent Shawn Still, who has been indicted alongside Donald Trump in Georgia for trying to overturn the 2020 election results. As of the latest public campaign finance report on June 30, Ashwin has raised over $412,000 and has $297,000 cash on hand. He has outraised his opponent Shawn Still 100x in the latest filing period from May 1 to June 30 – while Ashwin raised over $129,000, Still only raised $1,000.
“While the money is drying up for Shawn, our campaign’s momentum shows how voters want leadership that focuses on the most pressing issues facing Georgia families: ending Georgia’s abortion ban, preparing us for the jobs and technology of the future, and protecting the right to vote,” said Ramaswami.
After working in election security in the federal government, Ashwin began his campaign against indicted fake elector Shawn Still. This district is the most competitive seat in the Georgia Senate and top pickup opportunity for Georgia Democrats: it went 48-52 Biden-Trump in 2020 and was won by Warnock 51-49 in the 2022 runoffs. Ramaswami’s campaign has been endorsed by Senator Jon Ossoff and Congresswoman Lucy McBath of Georgia’s 7th congressional district. Ramaswami is also one of four Georgians to serve on the 2024 Democratic National Convention’s credentials committee.
Ashwin is a Johns Creek native and son of immigrants dedicated to public service and advocacy. As a civil servant, Ramaswami worked at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure
Security Agency (CISA) on cybersecurity and election security, working with state and local election offices to secure the 2020 and 2022 elections. Ashwin would break barriers as the first Indian American in the Georgia state legislature. He would be the first Gen Z State Senator in Georgia and the only Georgia state legislator with a computer science and a law degree.
