Tracey Stamper never identified as a Democrat , even as she campaigned to win the Democratic primary.

State election rules don’t allow the political parties to pick and choose who runs under their banner on the ticket.

The district was redrawn after the 2020 census to make it more conservative, meaning any Democrat is unlikely to win.

But local Democrats are rallying behind Verhoeven , a single mother of a 7-year-old son.

The Democratic Party of Georgia says Verhoeven is the only candidate in this race to embrace the party’s ideals.

She filled out the necessary paperwork to be certified as a write-in candidate so that votes for her count on Election Day .

She says she has had a "lovely reception" from people who support her.
