Jon Ossoff has released two ads in the GA-6 congressional runoff election over the last week. They both push cutting wasteful spending and prioritizing high-tech and bio-tech research. Table Ossoff states in this ad that both parties in Congress are wasting money and the deficits are holding back the economy. He lays out his three-point

Karen Handel has released a new ad entitled “Home.” She states in the ad that she has been involved in Georgia’s 6th District for almost 25 years, during which time she served as Fulton County Commission Chair, Chamber President, and Georgia Secretary of State. She states that it would be a privilege to serve the

Former US Attorney General Sally Yates crushed Georgia Democrats’ hearts saying she won’t run for governor.  The full text of the interview will be published in next week’s issue of The New Yorker, but she left a crack in the door to possibly serve as an elected official in the future.

If you live in Senate District 32, it’s Election Day! Again! Make sure to vote in the special election runoff. The big deal this morning. ETA at 8:20 – John Dingell said it best – “Oh hell what now“ Paul Ryan stumped for Handel last night and nobody really wanted to talk about Lord Voldem

This week’s Courier Herald column. You may find the previous parts of this series by following this link. In this fourth installment of a series explaining the regions that make up Georgia’s statewide geographic political factions, we’re going to explore the newfound statewide power broker.

Happy Monday, everyone! State Speaker Ryan is hosting an event with Karen Handel today. Momma always said, “if you ain’t got nothing nice to say, then keep your mouth shut.” How much does Google impact Atlanta’s economy? Hipster trash rejoice: Tiny homes are kind of allowed in Atlanta. We survived. National Trump altered the trajectory

This is the last part (but not least!) in a series of responses from each of the candidates for GAGOP Chairman. Today’s response is from Mike Welsh. You can see my previous posts with responses from Alex Johnson, Michael McNeely, and John Watson. Nathan Smith (GeorgiaPol.com): Tell me a little about yourself. (e.g., where you

The opening of the northbound half of I-85 a mere six weeks after its collapse merits a word or two of praise. I’ve held the engineering staff of the Georgia Department of Transportation in high regard, an impression I first formed more than 10 years ago. I spent many days covering the construction of the crazy
