Sitting beside Willis is her attorney, former Democratic Gov. Roy Barnes. Behind her is state Sen. Colton Moore, a Republican running to succeed Marjorie Taylor Greene who had pushed for a special legislative session to impeach Willis while the case was still pending. #gapol

The GOP-controlled committee is scrutinizing DA Willis’ handling of the election interference case. But she’s sending her own message. She tells lawmakers the state salary for staff prosecutors is a “joke.” And she praises her office’s diversity efforts.

Interesting. Republican state Sen. Greg Dolezal, an LG candidate and close ally of Lt. Gov. Burt Jones, is chairing this committee. Sen. Bill Cowsert has been leading this charge and this committee for months, but is not at this hearing.

Kemp pushes to end US Senate standoff over Georgia general’s appointment

For years, nail-biting runoffs have been the norm in Georgia statewide elections. But that may change in 2026. #gapol

Libertarians are not guaranteed a spot on next year's ballot, reducing the chances for runoffs in Georgia. Think about how much that could change next year’s midterm, when U.S. Sen. Jon Ossoff is on the ballot and other statewide offices are up for grabs.
