Democratic State Representative Vernon Jones has an interesting political career. I won’t recount the interesting past of Jones in DeKalb politics–George Chidi has a number of articles that you can find here on GeorgiaPol if you want background. In fact, he’s been a source of writing material for #gapol over the years. Representative Jones has
Senator Kelly Loeffler and Congressman Doug Collins have released their quarterly fundraising numbers. Loeffler leads in cash on hand due loans to her campaign, while Collins took the lead for the quarter in overall contributions. Their press releases are as follows, in alphabetical order. Collins Blows Past Loeffler in Fundraising— “Raises $400k More Than Sitting
I will admit I’ve been pretty harsh on Senator Kelly Loeffler. Although, let’s be honest, she’s suffered from self-inflicted damage. And her latest stupid controversy is yet another example that qua Senator, Kelly Loeffler is the anti-Midas (everything she touches turns to s). Loeffler’s comments only make sense when taken into consideration that she fundamentally
From a press release: Continuing the comedy routine that is her congressional campaign, Marjorie Taylor Greene published a letter on Wednesday that confirms she refused to use E-Verify at her company from 2003-2010 when she was listed in state documents as CFO.

The poll was conducted by Public Policy Polling (538 rating: B) for End Citizens United. In the presidential matchup it’s Biden’s 49% to Trump’s 45. The
These days it seems there are no stupid questions, just stupid times. And what a time to be alive! Attention is finally turning to this cluster of an election season we’re having, as a dwindling political press corps can’t seem to handle 20 person primaries – especially when most candidates these days have no track
Congressman Doug Collins made a not-all-together incorrect statement that an Independent District Attorney should be appointed in the killing of Rayshard Brooks. After being forced into a runoff, Atlanta DA Paul Howard chose to make political hay from Brooks’ death. The connection Collins draws with Brooks and Ahmaud Arbery seems a bit specious, however. In
A few thoughts that stand out from yesterday’s election: How swift and broad Gwinnett’s seachange is continues to astound me.
