Dar'shun Nicole Kendrick[1] (born August 28, 1982 in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American politician and a member of the Georgia House of Representatives, representing the 93rd district; she previously represented the 94th district. She is a member of the Democratic Party.

Personal life and education

Kendrick was born in Atlanta, Georgia, to lifelong Dekalb County, Georgia residents. She graduated from Towers High School in Decatur, Georgia in 2000, and graduated cum laude from Oglethorpe University in 2004. She double-majored in political science and communications, and served as student body president her senior year. In 2007, Kendrick graduated from the University of Georgia School of Law.[2] Kendrick received an MBA from Kennesaw State University in 2011.[3]

Kendrick interned for Congresswomen Cynthia McKinney and Denise Majette, as well as State Representative George Maddox.[2] She is a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated.

Career

Kendrick is a member of the Interstate Cooperation, Judiciary Non-Civil, Juvenile Justice, and Small Business Development committees.[4]

Kendrick also runs Kendrick Law Practice in Lithonia, Georgia and has a non-profit, Minority Access to Capital, Inc. In 2017, she started Kendrick Advisory and Advocacy Group, LLC, dedicated to advisory and advocacy services in the area of economic justice.[2]

She became a member of Alpha Kappa Alpha sorority on November 15, 2015, through the Upsilon Alpha Omega chapter.

Controversy

In February 2015, Kendrick posted a Facebook message jokingly "...I'm going to slap Stacey Dash if I see her...that wasn't nice. Forgive me God. I'm going to pray she stops talking..ok. that's better." After Dash replied to Kendrick, mockingly telling her she was "Such a role model for young black women," there were allegations Kendrick deleted the message which turned out to be false.[5]

In March 2019, Kendrick introduced a bill that would, among other things, require Georgia men who wanted to obtain a prescription for Viagra to first obtain permission from their significant other, ban vasectomies in Georgia, and classify unprotected sex as aggravated assault. She acknowledged the bill has little chance of passing the Georgia House of Representatives, but stated that she introduced it to highlight what she considers the absurdity of the pro-life bill HB 481. She stated that she introduced her bill to "bring awareness to the fact that if you’re going to legislate our bodies, then we have every right to propose legislation to regulate yours.”[6]
