Georgia gov candidate David Perdue on @Xtra1063 on the Ukraine invasion: “Russia has got to be stopped. This is nothing but a bully — Putin — taking advantage of a weak president. This wouldn’t have happened with Donald Trump as president.” #gapol
Senate Republican candidate @GaryBlackForGA: “President Biden has projected a vacuum of leadership and Putin is filling it with cruelty and dreams of a new USSR. Biden’s weakness has significant real-world implications as Ukrainians now, sadly, feel intimately." #gapol #gasen Image
GOP Senate candidate @LathamSaddler, an ex-WH official, on Trump’s praise for Putin amid Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. “I can promise you during my time there our enemies feared us and Putin knew better than to invade any sovereign countries and therefore didn’t.” #gapol #gasen Image

Awash in revenue, @GovKemp gives Georgia lawmakers his expensive 2022 wish list in his State of the State speech #gapol ajc.com/politics/awash…
@GovKemp Record tax collections allowed Kemp on Thursday to reel off a series of voter-pleasing proposals, including pay raises, tax refunds and increased spending in key areas such as education, law enforcement and health care. #gapol ajc.com/politics/awash…

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
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…

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

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…
