Over the weekend, the Hall County GOP held a debate between the candidates for the 9th congressional district seat held by Rep. Doug Collins. Collins faces primary challenges from former 10th district congressman Paul Broun, retired educator Roger Fitzpatrick, retired National Guard General Bernie Fontaine, and Lanier Tea Party Patriots founder Mike Scupin. Debate topics
The Hall County Republican Party hosted a debate between the five candidates for the 9th District Congressional nomination on Saturday. Candidates Paul Broun, Roger Fitzpatrick, Bernie Fontaine and Mike Scupin took on incumbent Doug Collins in the two hour debate, which covered topics as diverse as foreign policy and national security, taxes, the federal budget,
The Department of Justice indicted David Bowser, the former chief of staff for then-Representative Paul Broun, with one count of obstruction of proceedings, one count theft of government property, one count of concealment of material facts, and five counts of making false statements in connection to the congressional ethics investigation into Broun’s misuse of taxpayer
On Monday, Governor Nathan Deal vetoed HB 757. Just now, I’ve received my third email from Mike Crane’s congressional campaign on the matter. Two of the three were direct fundraising emails.

Broun, a Congressman from Athens in the 10th Congressional district, now claims Clarkesville as home. But no matter. He’s
He’s back. Former DeKalb County CEO and Democratic Senate candidate Vernon Jones has qualified to run in House District 91, currently occupied by Dee Dawkins Haigler, who in turn is running for Senate District 43, which JaNice Van Ness won in a special election last year.

While “The Outsider” is not new to politics, reading it invokes memories of Senator David Perdue’s 2014 primary election.
