Being a district chairman, that automatically makes me a member of the #RINOEstablishment, so I might as well claim the title and say that I was generally happy with the results of our Georgia Republican primary. We avoided conspiracy and cupcakes in the US Senate race, and I’m glad to see three of Georgia’s most
Tuesday’s party primaries largely set the table for the November elections, with a few races remaining to be decided in July runoffs. With inter=party races settled, it’s time to take aim at the other party, and Georgia GOP and Democratic party leaders didn’t waste any time. Georgia Republican Party Chairman John Padgett issued this statement
The question of the night in GA-12 seemed to be who exactly is Patricia “Trisha” McCracken, the newly selected Democratic challenger set to face Rep. Rick Allen in GA-12 in November.

The time has drawn nigh for the closing of the polls across Georgia. It is time for political geeks and nerds to get excited about the results that will most definitely be painstakingly slow in coming in. Browsers will be refreshed. Races will be predicted and called all across Twitter and Facebook by numerous political pundits
I think it’s pretty much a guarantee that there sill be an issue with voting, ballots, or a precinct that mars Election Day for some number of voters.

Atlanta has been awarded the Super Bowl for 2019. Congrats. I’ll have a bit more to say about this later. For now, here’s your reminder that both the State of Georgia taxpayers and the City of Atlanta are unambiguously better off for the win. (Click here for the explainer) I now return you back to
No, I’m not going to try to run down every contested Georgia House race. It’s difficult enough to even try to pretend from Atlanta I have a true understanding of far flung races.
