Kemp’s campaign spox @CodyHallGA responds:
“Governor Kemp has a proven track record of fighting the radical left to put hardworking Georgians first, while Perdue is best known for ducking debates, padding his stock portfolio during a pandemic, and losing winnable races.” #gapol
Perdue’s decision is expected to be delivered Monday and comes days after Abrams announced she would run for governor for a second time. Perdue has told allies he was motivated to join the race because he fears Kemp can’t defeat the Democrat again. #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
That sound you hear is Georgia Democrats pinching themselves in delight and bewilderment #gapol
Ok, more later. Back to my regularly scheduled Girl Scouts meeting. My daughter just did a rendering of what I’ll look like after this election cycle. #gapol
With a pledge to unite fractured Republicans, former Sen. David Perdue launched a primary challenge against Gov. Brian Kemp that will shape the GOP’s direction in Georgia and define the extent of Donald Trump’s influence across the nation. #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
In his announcement video, Perdue says he likes Kemp but it "isn’t personal -- it’s simple. He’s failed us and cannot win in November.” He casts himself as a GOP savior who can defeat Abrams. #gapolvimeo.com/653702789
“It’s time for a change. If our governor was ever going to fight for us, wouldn’t he have done it already?” #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
The Democrat announced her campaign with a video that highlighted her work since her narrow 2018 defeat to Kemp, along with a message that “opportunity and success in Georgia shouldn’t be determined by your ZIP code, background or access to power.” #gapolajc.com/politics/polit…
.@GovKemp responds: "I’m in the fight against Stacey Abrams, the failed Biden agenda, and their woke allies to keep Georgia the best place to live, work, and raise a family." #gapol
State Rep. @ddreyer opens for Dickens: “We can show the rest of the country what Atlanta stands for. We stand for equity. We stand for not leaving anyone behind.” #atlpol#gapol
Flanked by two Atlanta mayors — and side by side with his mom — Mayor-elect Andre Dickens savors his victory. “I’m beyond humbled,” he says. #gapol#atlpol
No scrolling screens of election results here at @andreforatlanta election night party. The Bachelorette is on and the crowd is lively as early returns show him with a solid lead over Felicia Moore in the race for Atlanta mayor. #gapol#atlpol
“The momentum seems to be continuing but we know there are results that are still coming in.” — Atlanta Mayor @KeishaBottoms at Dickens’ campaign party. She says “we’ve got some Black Boy joy” in the city of Atlanta. #gapol
The polls are closed in Georgia and Game Six of the World Series is about to start. An epic day in Atlanta as baseball and politics collide once again. #gapol
Here’s the Republican-led Georgia House’s map of state House legislative districts to be considered during the special legislative session that starts tomorrow. #gapol
I'm told the Georgia House's version of congressional maps are expected later during the special session -- not today. But we won't be shocked if the new lines make re-election harder for Georgia's north metro suburban Democrats. #gapolajc.com/politics/how-g…
Close up on north metro state House districts, where some Democrats who flipped legislative seats over the past two cycles could be in trouble in 2022. #gapol
