More jolt: Democratic state Sen. @elenaparent is considering a run for lieutenant governor. Two other state legislators - both from the House - are already in the race. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
More jolt: The curious case of the little known down-ticket candidate who reported raising $318k in contributions — and said virtually all of it was raised by small dollar contributions he doesn’t have to itemize. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
“That would seem improbable this early in a primary — during a pandemic — when many events are sparsely attended,” @SarahRiggsAmico told me.

Rep. Greene: “I have made a mistake and it’s really bothered me for a couple of weeks now. And so I definitely want to own it ... The Holocaust is — there’s nothing comparable to it. It happened and, you know, over 6 million Jewish people were murdered.”
Backstory: Greene’s Holocaust comparisons draw rebuke from GOP leaders #gapol ajc.com/politics/green…
Contrast her remarks today with what she said at a town hall in Dalton on May 28 when she expressed no contrition and continued the comparison.
“You know, Nazis were the National Socialist Party,” she said. “Just like the Democrats are now a National Socialist Party.” #gapol

‘The time for mandates is over.' @GovKemp to restrict Georgia’s public schools from requiring masks #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
@GovKemp “This is nothing more than a political stunt at a time when Georgians deserve real leadership to help us emerge from the pandemic,” said @jasonesteves, chair of the @apsupdate school board. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

A sign of @GovKemp’s solidifying standing with the GOP grassroots: He’s greeted by a rousing standing ovation at the Cobb GOP, after the crowd boos MLB for pulling All-Star game. “If there was ever a time for us to reengage, unite and fight the good fight it is right now.” #gapol
Down the street, Attorney General @ChrisCarr_Ga stands at a local seafood place to say: “Major League Baseball made a major league mistake.”
“What does this false narrative lead to? It leads to real harm.” #gapol
.@GovKemp warns of the “trickle down effect” from MLB’s decision. “I believe we are on the right side of helping the little guy on this — they’ve got hit by COVID-19 and now they’re getting hit by this.” #gapol
