Elliott Brack’s Perspective
BRACK: Gwinnett Republican Party mighty silent on upcoming transit vote
By Elliott Brack | Is the Gwinnett Republican Party vital in this county any more? Have they given up?
Since 1984, no matter where you stand, you have to give the Republican Party good grades for helping its candidates win office. In many instances, the Republicans recruited potential candidates and readied them for service. As a result, the party kept seeing their candidates win races. They were ready to serve. Many of those that the party brought along are still serving in political offices of the county today.
BRACK: Do you turn off the “lights” when you leave a room?
By Elliott Brack | Most of us have everyday habits, some good, some bad.
Some of those habits go back to childhood, and can be beneficial to us now.
For instance, back in the late 1930s, when the Rural Electrification Administration was beginning to loan the funds for the wiring of rural America, many of those first homes merely had “lights,” to provide illumination for a single room.
BRACK: An open letter to Sen. Renee Unterman
By Elliott Brack | FEB. 22, 2019 — Now, Renee. Don’t run for the Seventh District seat in Congress.

BRACK: Surprise announcement by Woodall may foretell good for Democrats
By Elliott Brack | It was surprising to read that U.S. Congressman Rob Woodall, representing the Seventh District which includes much of Gwinnett, will not seek another term in Congress. After all, he had just won re-election to another term. But what was even more surprising was that this announcement came a little more than a month after Rep. Woodall was into his fifth term serving in Washington.
BRACK: Go for it, Jeff Bezos; Take on the slimy National Enquirer
FEB. 12, 2019 | When you think of the higher elements of our American democracy, terms harking back to the Declaration of Independence easily come to mind: “Freedom,” “Liberty” and the “Pursuit of happiness.” With these thoughts extended, you soon remember many positive aspects, such as “The American way,” “Getting the job done,” and our “Can-do attitude.”
