Folks, we get it. There’s a lot of information out there about different candidates, so we’re going to clear some things up. Here are 10 reasons why you should vote AGAINST Brian Kemp.
1: Brian Kemp’s refusal to expand Medicaid has decimated our health care system. georgiademocrat.org/kemp-doubles-d…
“Herschel Walker has lied about everything...His own staff says he lies like he’s breathing. The job of a U.S. senator demands honesty and it is clear on that requirement, my opponent falls far short”

“He has said he served in law enforcement. He has not. He claimed to own a business with 800 employees. It had eight. He said he started a charity for veterans…It wasn’t a charity. It was a for-profit hospital chain that paid Herschel Walker and preyed on our veterans.”

This week, Columbus voters held a press conference highlighting Herschel Walker’s pattern of lies and disturbing behavior — all while the GOP Senate candidate refuses to answer basic questions about his record. Thread:
“The whole point of serving in the Senate is to protect people — but it’s clear that Walker is a violent man who has continued lying to Georgians about every aspect of his life instead of taking responsibility for his behavior.” said Carolyn Hugley, House Rep. and Columbus mom.

Folks, we know you’re hearing a lot right now from a lot of candidates. So we wanted to cut through the noise. Here are 10 reasons you need to vote AGAINST Herschel Walker.
1: Herschel Walker has a long record of lies, scams, and disturbing behavior that makes him completely unqualified to serve in the Senate.
Today, Macon voters held a press conference highlighting Herschel Walker’s pattern of lies and disturbing behavior, including the latest report of another woman being threatened by Walker. Thread:
“Walker has a long history of disturbing conduct that he’s never taken accountability for — and Georgians deserve to know all of the facts before they make their decision,” said Rep. James Beverly, Georgia House Minority Leader. (@drjbev)

.@HerschelWalker delivered remarks on democracy this evening, but he's already shown where he stands.
Today, Augusta voters spoke out against Herschel Walker’s pattern of lies and disturbing behavior. Thread:
State Rep. Gloria Frazier: “Just this morning, another of Walker’s ex-girlfriends said she felt ‘threatened’ by Walker. His pattern of conduct is disturbing, and above all, disqualifying. This man has a long history of disturbing conduct that he’s never taken accountability for.”

37,500 voters' eligibility were challenged in Gwinnett County, Georgia — the state's most diverse county.
A Trump-backed group, has been challenging thousands of voters' registrations just before Election Day.
Local leaders are calling out the effort to disrupt our democracy.⬇️
The challenges were dismissed by the Gwinnett County elections board, but @SamforGeorgia notes local leaders are "gravely concerned" and that Gov. Brian Kemp and Sec. of State Brad Raffensperger have enabled GOP extremists to attack Georgians' freedom to vote.

In 2020 and 2021, Georgia Democrats made history and permanently changed the trajectory of this country. These victories were neither a fluke nor demographic destiny. They were the result of years of work. Today we released our 2020 Victory Report showing how we did it. (Thread) 1. ORGANIZING YEAR-ROUND, STATEWIDE
We built a strong, year-round field operation. We recruited record numbers of candidates across the state. We didn't wait until months before the election to start — and we aren’t waiting now, either. Here's what our 2019 looked like.

Georgia is ground zero for Democrats, but if we really want to take back power in our state, there is a critical piece we must talk about: our State Legislature. #gapol (thread) [1/9]
We only need to flip 16 seats to win the State House and get to work for everyday Georgians. Republicans have failed Georgians for decades on health care, women’s rights, education, and a just economy. [2/9]

As complications from COVID-19 become new pre-existing conditions, Trump is pushing a lawsuit to eliminate protections for them. With Pence in Atlanta today trying to spin Trump's record, he should start by answering these questions: (thread) #gapolgeorgiademocrat.org/5-questions-fo…1. Trump is fighting to repeal the ACA, which would strip coverage away from 1.8 million Georgians with pre-existing conditions. Why hasn’t Trump delivered on his promise to “come up with a plan that’s far better and far less money” in the midst of a global health crisis?

As we launch our new DCDoug.com website, here's a collection of times he put special interests before Georgians' health care. #DCDoug#gasen#gapol#DCDoug has repeatedly gone out of his way to call for an end to the Affordable Care Act, which would stop critical protections for 1.8 million people with pre-existing conditions.
