Union workers ARE hardworking Georgians.
Why attack hard working mothers and fathers from joining together to ensure they are getting a fair share and enough to provide for their families?
I’m proud to join Republican governors in opposing UAW’s latest anti-job unionization push.
In Georgia, we’ll continue fighting for hardworking Georgians and job creators!

Hey Cody, the great people of Athens deserve the attention of the Governor for more than just 5 Saturday afternoons a year.
Cheer on the Dawgs but also cheer on the 11,000 UGA employees who run that University and the 130,000 people who call the Classic City home.
Really astute politics here. Holding a rally in Athens during the Georgia game… that’s in South Carolina.

Demanding peace and human rights for all, including Palestinians, is not antisemitic it is justice.

My name is Tim Denson, and I endorse this plan.
Desperate polls call for desperate measures: Dems consider forgiving trillions in student loans. Other bribe suggestions: Forgive auto loans? Forgive credit card debt? Forgive mortgages? And put a wealth tax on the super-rich to pay for it all. What could possibly go wrong?

Spending $60,000/hour on flyovers over empty football stadiums while we have US Vets sleeping on the streets is unpatriotic.
I love a flyover but It was odd to see one over a mostly empty stadium but I am an unwavering patriot that loves this country, has always respected our flag, supported the men and women in the armed forces as well as those in uniform who serve & protect and for anyone to suggest

There are only 3 reasons one wouldn't support these maps:
- They want to split East Athens in half
- They want to specifically attack & remove myself, Link, Edwards
- They want to intentionally disrupt the election process & add burdens onto Tax payers & Election staff
Commission voted 8-2 in favor of Frye’s map but needed unanimous support due to legislative delegation’s rules. Hamby and Wright voted no; Thornton voted yes but then wanted to changed her vote.

Jody Hice is unfit to be Georgia Secretary of State just as he has shown he is unfit to serve in Congress by constantly not delivering for the people of the GA-10. We need a Secretary of State & Representative who are loyal to the people, not loyal to a disgraced former President
