Axios reports that the next biography from Pulitzer Prize winner Jon Meacham will be about Congressman John Lewis. Set to be released in the fall, “His Truth is Marching On” will have an afterword from Cong. Lewis. From the post: Meacham calls it “an appreciative account of the major moments of Lewis’ life in the movement,
In 2018 the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee supported Carolyn Bourdeaux with the organization’s Red to Blue program. On Thursday, the DCCC announced it would do so again. I suppose coming up less than 500 votes short the first time around makes for a compelling second-time campaign.
In Sunday’s New York Times there was a bit of clarity in the Veepstakes: it remains muddy as ever. There does seem to be a greater push for Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms. According to the Times, how Mayor bottoms handled the Covid-19 outbreak and civil unrest in Atlanta has elevated her profile. Bottoms and
A few thoughts that stand out from yesterday’s election: How swift and broad Gwinnett’s seachange is continues to astound me. By now I’m sure everyone’s seen that there were some 30,000 more votes cast in the Democratic Presidential Primary than Republican. And Georgia’s longest-serving school board member is likely going to lose her reelection bid.
Among the flood of Stacey-Abrams-Veepstakes articles, two this week caught my attention. First was Marc Thiessen’s column in The Washington Post comparing Abrams to Sarah Palin. No one doubts that Georgia House Minority Leader to VP is a big jump. But it’s hard to compare a ticketmate who’s greatest was the sheerest of veneers hiding
I have to say: she’s enthusiastic. And Sarah Riggs Amico might want to dial back some of the enthusiasm. The 60-second ad is below and as her campaign said in a press release: “The spot reminds voters that, unlike [Sen. David] Perdue, Amico has been a jobs creator who spent her career putting working families
Former POTUS hopeful Pete Buttigieg announced the first slate of endorsements from his new PAC, Win the Era. Congresswoman Lucy McBath was the only candidate from Georgia to earn Buttigieg’s endorsement. Buttigieg said in a press release announcing the 22-person slate: “In a time of national crisis, there is more need than ever for leaders
This is your last chance to get on the Stacey Abrams for VP bandwagon before you become a bandwagoner (“I was with her before she sold out”). In a wide-ranging feature in Elle magazine, Abrams explicitly makes her case: I would be an excellent running mate. I have the capacity to attract voters by motivating
Yes, it’s a good thing to raise more money than your opponent. Especially when your opponent is an incumbent U.S. Senator. Reverend Warnock did just that in Q1: his $1.5 million to $1.1 million each for Sen. Loeffler and Rep. Collins. It’s not hard to imagine that if Sen. Loeffler could avoid a spirited primary
Rep. Vernon Jones (D-Slimeball) has carried a cloud of controversy over Georgia politics for 20 years with no signs of letting up. Today he endorsed President Trump (R-Slimeball) perhaps for all their similarities: ALLEGED sexual assault, being unfit for public office, rampant attention whoring..
