## Summary

Georgia’s Bentley Hudgins, who identifies as nonbinary, says their election to the state House shows that “Woke 3.0” has begun. Hudgins’s comments followed online criticism of their claims to be the first openly nonbinary or trans person elected to a state legislature in the Deep South and the first Japanese-American elected in Georgia.

Hudgins, 33, will represent the 90th District in metro Atlanta after winning more than 92% of the vote, or 27,921 votes. The phrase “Woke 3.0” has been used by left-wing commentators to describe a new progressive political period following Democratic gains in elections on 3 November; the article links it to remarks by Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and streamer Hasan Piker.
