Every economic development announcement gets more political fanfare in an election campaign. But the rollout of a $5B new electric vehicle plant is sure to get supersized treatment from Gov. Kemp ahead of the 2022 vote. #gapol ajc.com/politics/kemp-…
Kemp will have to contend with backlash from some local residents who don’t want one of the nation’s largest automotive plants in their backyard. I’ve received several of these emails in the last hour: #gapol
We reported more on the excitement, anxiousness and fear of residents in the rural area where the Rivian plant is set to locate this past weekend. #gapol

We also taped a special edition of the @politicallyga podcast to explore the ins and outs of a massive development that could boost Georgia’s reputation as a new hub for green energy manufacturing. #gapol ajc.com/politics/polit…

Herschel Walker’s campaign has falsely claimed he graduated from college, repeating something that’s proliferated in online bios, at a political rally, and even when the Senate GOP candidate was introduced for a congressional hearing. #gapol #gasen ajc.com/politics/polit…
Here’s a sampling of where the false claim has showed up, starting with the now-deleted reference on Walker’s campaign website. #gapol #gasen ImageImageImageImage
In a statement to the @ajc, Walker acknowledged that he didn’t graduate from UGA despite claims otherwise.
“After playing with the New Jersey Generals, I returned to Athens to complete my degree, but life and football got in the way.” #gapol #gasen 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: 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…

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
