I didn’t get to spend much time with Jon in person outside of politics, but we built a friendship through what we do starting out at the old homestead and now over here at GeorgiaPol. Living in the northwest corner of the state makes it a little difficult to make all of the events in
Senator Michael Williams (R-Cumming) was one of the, if not *the*, first elected officials to hitch his wagon to the #TrumpTrain. His loyalty hasn’t earned him a cabinet position, but perhaps he’s banking that the #TrumpTrain will have a stop somewhere over on West Paces Ferry Road. Earlier this week, Mike Hassinger mentioned how Duane

Today, the AJC reports that an official with direct knowledge of the matter says that Secretary Kemp will run. Although it’s not “official” yet and has declined to comment on it, Secretary Kemp has been dropping hints
As most folks know, the GAGOP convention cycle is here. Counties with over 80,000 in population have already held their precinct mass meetings, and the bulk of counties will hold their conventions next weekend.
