Romancing the Runoff
Romancing the Runoff was a charity auction held in 2020, supporting voter organizations in the U.S. state of Georgia. It supported the Democratic Party's Senate candidates participating in the 2020–21 [United States Senate election in Georgia] and the 2020–21 [United States Senate special election in Georgia] runoff elections.
Organized by romance authors Alyssa Cole, Courtney Milan and Kit Rocha, and inspired by Stacey Abrams' involvement in favor of the Democrats in Georgia, the auction raised $498,000 for the Georgia voter organizations Fair Fight Action, the New Georgia Project, and Black Voters Matter. Items auctioned were romance-related things and events, including signed copies of novels by Tessa Dare and Stacey Abrams, and a writing mentorship with Ann Aguirre.
