BREAKING: David Perdue plans to run for governor in 2022 #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
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
Yeah, “scorched earth” might be an understatement. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
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. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…
That sound you hear is Georgia Democrats pinching themselves in delight and bewilderment #gapol
“Mess” seems quaint now … #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
Happier times #gapol
“This is jaw-dropping news — the entire landscape of 2022 just changed.” The @GeorgiaDemocrat fundraising appeal off of the Perdue news. #gapol
@GeorgiaDemocrat What we know -- and what we don't -- about the brutal infighting to come in the GOP race for Georgia governor. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

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. #gapol ajc.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. #gapol vimeo.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?” #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

BREAKING: Stacey Abrams is running for Georgia governor in 2022 #gapol ajc.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.” #gapol ajc.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

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. #gapol ajc.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
