Gary Chambers

I TOLD Y’ALL. The Deep South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment. Listen to how many votes I said he needed and look at how many he got. Damn near on the money. I said it on @joyannreid . I said it on @richlessonspodcast. I said it to the DNC chair. And I built Civics For The People to help organize communities across Louisiana. You can support that work through the link in my bio. Now Scott Colom has been declared the winner in Mississippi, according to CNN. Congratulations to Scott and the people of Mississippi. The people made this possible. The South has always been the prize. The people have shown their power. Now we’ll see what the Democratic Party does with that reality. The 2028 road to the White House now leads through the Deep South. Louisiana, we got next… Let’s go to work. Share if you care. 🦾

The South isn’t unwinnable. It’s underfunded. Jon Ossoff had $100 million in Georgia. Jamie Davis raised $7 million in Louisiana. What could Black candidates across the South accomplish with even half that investment? Georgia is proof of the results that become possible with investment. We’ve shown what’s possible with less. Imagine what we could do with more. My conversation with @joyreidofficial. Support Civics for the People as we build political power from the ground up. Share if you care. 🦾

A year ago, I said Mississippi and Louisiana could be competitive with real investment. Turns out, I was right. Now the country is talking about @scott_colom in Mississippi, while @jamieforlouisiana came within 25,000 votes in Louisiana. I made the case directly to DNC Chair Ken Martin in April, after raising the same concerns on @joyannreid. The Deep South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment. Maybe it’s time national leadership started listening to Black folks on the ground who know what they’re talking about. Support Civics for the People through the link in my bio. We’re building political power with or without them. Share if you care. 🦾

Too radical. Too boring. Too country. Which flavor of Black is good enough to get funded? Every time a Black candidate runs statewide in Louisiana, somebody has an excuse for why they can’t win. Meanwhile, the grassroots are doing the work while the people with the resources sit on the sidelines. @jamieforlouisiana showed Louisiana what’s possible without the support he deserved. Imagine what could happen if we invested in the South before Election Day instead of making excuses afterward. I told @joyannreid, we don’t have to wait on the Democratic Party. We have to organize, invest, and hold our own leadership accountable. The South doesn’t lack voters. It lacks investment. Share if you care. 🦾

All in traffic energy moving people to go vote! Polls are open until 8p. Go vote! Screen shot my ballot and vote the whole ballot.

Now Hillar Moore is blaming New Orleans for the crime in East Baton Rouge parish. He is full of excuses and lacks results of making our community safer. Send a loud message that our community can be safe with new leadership. Vote for @ryankeiththompson before 8p today.

Villa Del Rey, Melrose, and Park Forest — I’m watching these voting numbers! 👀 As of this afternoon, here’s how many registered voters still haven’t voted: 📍 Villa Del Rey: 561 in one precinct, 389 in another. 📍 Melrose: 621 in one precinct, 1,008 in another. 📍 Park Forest Elementary: 739 voters. That’s 3,318 registered voters across these precincts who still have an opportunity to cast their ballots. Some of y’all moved out the hood, bought a little land, and forgot voting was part of the assignment. 😂 If you live in these neighborhoods, check your voting status. If you know somebody who does, ask them if they’ve voted. Voting is a group project. Share if you care. 🦾

If you rock with me, I’m asking you to screen shot this ballot and take it in the booth with you. Share it with your friends and family and vote the whole ballot. Text somebody you haven’t text in a while and ask them did they go vote. Tag me in your stories after you got it done today. It’s a show your work kind of day. Share if you care 🦾

Today is the day Louisiana. It’s time for us to tag some new leaders into office. Polls are open and if you go vote today in record numbers change is coming. Help elect @ryankeiththompson, @jamieforlouisiana, @taneshia.flowers, @elziealford4judge, and @iamchaunabanks for Congress. Let’s go to work. Screen shot the full ballot at the end.

The Justice Department is sending election monitors to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, and Lafayette tomorrow. 180,000 Black voters have already voted early, with 752,000 still eligible to vote on Election Day. Don’t let anybody intimidate you at the polls. Stay in line, we got time. And if the feds are watching, be fresh as hell when you show up. Share if you care. 🦾

Hillar Moore Explains Who Deserves His Time After refusing multiple debates and community forums, Hillar Moore finally showed up to speak with @rolandsmartin on the last day of early voting. He said he came because he respected Roland’s platform. But what about WBRZ, Delta Sigma Theta, the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, the Power Coalition, and the other local organizations that tried to give voters an opportunity to hear from both candidates? Do their voices not deserve the same respect? After 18 years in office, Hillar Moore says his record speaks for itself. Apparently, he believes that’s enough. You can’t improve a community you won’t engage. Watch his explanation and decide for yourself whether the people of East Baton Rouge Parish deserved better. Election Day is November 3. Share if you care. 🦾

In 2020, Jace Boyd killed an unarmed Danny Buckley in broad daylight outside Trader Joe’s in Baton Rouge. District Attorney Hillar Moore was on the scene. Boyd was allowed to go home, and days passed before he was arrested following public outrage. Now body camera footage raises serious questions about what Moore knew that day and how this case was handled. Watch the footage and judge for yourself. Tomorrow, November 3, East Baton Rouge Parish voters have an opportunity to choose @RKeithThompson as their next District Attorney. Go vote. Tell somebody else to vote. Share if you care. 🦾

Politico reports that Black voter turnout is reshaping the midterm elections across the South. Share this if you are Black in the South and want to send a message. Help ensure we don’t get drowned out. We have to ensure that Black political power translate into Black political representation be engaging our people today’s Each of these candidates can win on Tuesday if Black voters show up in big numbers. Georgia: Keisha Lance Bottoms, Governor @keishabottoms South Carolina: Jermaine Johnson, Governor @drjermainejohnson Florida: Angie Nixon, U.S. Senate @angieforfl Mississippi: Scott Colom, U.S. Senate @scott_colom Louisiana: Jamie Davis, U.S. Senate @jamieforlouisiana These races raise a bigger question: Who benefits from the surge in Black voter participation? We cannot trust that other communities will support Black candidates so we have to turnout at a higher number to ensure they win too. Their winning will equal more investment in our communities, which is not happening at the levels it should because we only hold a few of these positions of power. November 3 is Election Day. Know your ballot and make your voice heard. I need you engaging the people in your network. Outvote the racism. Share if you care. 🦾

48 hours to go, and we’re still in the streets of East Baton Rouge Parish. We’re pushing until the bell rings. Pull up Monday at 3 PM at 700 N. 10th Street and bring a friend. We’re working to turn out voters for @ryankeiththompson, @elziealford4judge, @taneshia.flowers and @jamieforlouisiana. Baton Rouge deserves leadership that engages the community. We’ve seen what 18 years of the same leadership looks like. Now voters have a choice about what comes next. Nobody will outwork us. These last two days matter. Text 10 more people. Share my ballot. Knock some doors. Whatever extra looks like for you, do extra. Voting is a group project, and everybody has a part to play. I need you to play your part. I’m counting on you. G- Share if you care. 🦾

Early voting is over, but we ain’t done working. We’re knocking doors TODAY from 3–6 PM to get folks ready for Election Day, November 3. 📍 700 N. 10th Street, Baton Rouge 📞 225-205-4561 if we’ve already rolled out. We’re getting out the vote for Jamie Davis, Ryan Thompson, Elzie Alford, and Taneshia Flowers, who’s on the ballot twice. We won’t be outworked. Pull up on us. Share if you care. 🦾

Hillar Moore says East Baton Rouge is safer after 18 years as District Attorney. But when asked about Baton Rouge surpassing New Orleans in homicides, he admitted he’d never seen that before. In 2009, when Moore took office, EBR recorded 95 homicides. In 2025, there were 106. If Sharon Weston Broome was held responsible for violent crime as mayor, why shouldn’t the District Attorney face questions about his record? Experience matters, but so do results. Watch the video, examine the numbers, and decide for yourself. They keep texting out attacks on Ryan, so text the truth about Hillar. Election Day is Tuesday, November 3. Vote for @ryankeiththompson. Share if you care. 🦾

Caddo Parish, listen to former Louisiana Supreme Court Justice Scott Crichton, a Republican, recount allegations involving State Senator Alan Seabaugh and a past racial slur. Seabaugh is now running for District Attorney. Voters deserve to know about these allegations before November 3rd. Watch and share if you care. 🦾

You can criticize me, disagree with my approach, or not like my tone. But one thing you can’t say is that I’m not doing the work. For over a decade, I’ve consistently shown up for our communities, and I’m going to keep showing up because building Black political power matters more than being liked. I’ve raised hundreds of thousands of dollars for families, employed dozens of Black consultants, taught Civics for the People as a free class to help folks understand their government and their power, and made sacrifices to speak truth to power. And I’m still outside, even when my name isn’t on the ballot. This isn’t a trend for me. It’s a commitment. We also have to recognize when people don’t take our communities seriously and hold them accountable. You can’t improve a community you won’t engage. Black political power starts with showing up. Shoutout to @rolandsmartin for coming to Baton Rouge and creating a space where Hillar Moore finally showed up to answer questions from Black voters. Share if you care 🦾

Louisiana, today is the LAST DAY of early voting! As of Monday, 433,000 people have voted early, including 148,000 Black voters and 186,000 Democrats.

Polls close at 6 PM TODAY. If you don’t make it today, Election Day is November 3. Voting is a group project. Let’s finish strong. Share if you care.
