Why would a GA Dem leader endorse Dem v Dem races? Plus, "the Jasons" unite

Question: why is Rep. Nikema Williams (D) unveiling a slate of endorsements for municipal races in her district when most of the races are Democrat v Democrat? Is this a slate of debts owed for her ascendancy into the Congressional seat when the late Rep. John Lewis passed? Otherwise, what's the sense in this? It's a bad look - particularly for the former Georgia Democratic Party chair.
