Rep.-elect Lucia “Lucy” McBath, who won her race for Congress in Georgia’s 6th District earlier this month, marked the day her teenage son was fatally shot six years later on Twitter.

McBath, a Democrat, declared victory in Georgia after defeating GOP incumbent Karen Handel in the tight midterm race in the state’s Republican-leaning congressional district.

On Friday, McBath shared a powerful message noting the day her son was killed on Nov. 23, 2012, and being thrust into the title of a “reluctant activist.”

“My son was murdered exactly six years ago to date,” she wrote. “Every year, I am reminded that the title ‘reluctant activist’ is painfully accurate.”

My son was murdered exactly six years ago to date. Every year, I am reminded that the title “reluctant activist” is painfully accurate.



This year, today comes just two months before I will fight for my son’s legacy in Congress - but it does not make the pain any less.

Davis, 17, was killed on a Black Friday in 2012 after he and his friends were confronted by Michael Dunn over loud music in their vehicle at a gas station in Jacksonville, Florida.

Prosecutors say Dunn, then 45, fired 10 times into the vehicle, killing Davis. He was convicted of first-degree murder in a retrial and sentenced to life in prison without parole in October 2014.

Making headlines as the “loud music murder,” Dunn, who is white, claimed self-defense in the killing that sparked nationwide calls for justice regarding gun control laws. It also gave rise to continued national conversation on the dangers of racism and racial bias.

McBath has remained in the national spotlight for her work as a gun control advocate since her son’s death. She served as a spokesperson for Everytown Gun Safety and for Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense, among other advocacy-related roles.

I know that I have been called to fight for change.



Because on the very same day I lost my son, there were 95 OTHER families in this country learning they, too, lost a loved one to gun violence.

On the day after I lost my son to gun violence, 96 families learned what I did the day before - they, too, lost a loved one to gun violence.



And since my son’s murder, almost 220,000 families have lost a loved one to gun violence.

This is why my work is not over, but just beginning. My life’s work will only end when American families have the basic security of safety.



Until then, I will always be a mother on a mission.

On her campaign site, McBath advocated for “common sense gun violence protection” noting that after the Parkland school shooting, she could “no longer sit on the sidelines.”

The Rep.-elect concluded her Twitter thread adding that she “will always be a mother on a mission.”

“This is why my work is not over, but just beginning,” she wrote. “My life’s work will only end when American families have the basic security of safety. Until then, I will always be a mother on a mission.”

Never thought I would be here. This is for you, Jordan. And for every single family impacted by gun violence in this country - let’s get to work. #GA06 pic.twitter.com/2lwgmrL0vI — Lucy McBath (@LucyWins2018) November 18, 2018
