(CNN) Stacey Abrams has decided against running for the Senate from Georgia in 2020, according to a video she posted on Twitter Tuesday morning.

"The Senate provides a singular platform from which to address the issues of access to justice, economic security, health care and restoring the integrity of our nation's democracy," Abrams said in the video. "However, I am announcing today that I will not be a candidate for the United States Senate."

I am grateful for all the encouragement I received to run for U.S. Senate, and I'm committed to doing everything I can to help elect a Democrat to that seat next year. #gapol pic.twitter.com/5o14BqgqwO — Stacey Abrams (@staceyabrams) April 30, 2019

Abrams met with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer on Monday to inform him of her plans.

A Democratic official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Abrams will focus on her voting rights project. She has not decided whether to seek any other office at this time.

Abrams is considered a rising star in Democratic politics. A former Georgia state House minority leader, Abrams rose to national prominence last year during a closely fought gubernatorial bid. Abrams, who would have been the first African American woman ever elected governor, narrowly lost the race in the reliably red state.
