BRACK: How Forum will help readers learn about candidates

By Elliott Brack  | With the Georgia primary now scheduled to be held on June 19, it gives GwinnettForum a little more time to make contact with candidates who have opposition in the Georgia primary. Actually, we’ve made pretty good progress this year, having talked to 73 candidates so far, in order to get to know them.

BRACK: Census forms coming soon; Beware of Census scams

By Elliott Brack  | In a few days, between March 12-20, each household in the United States will receive a letter from the U.S. Census, asking all households to participate in the official head count as of  April 1, 2020. The count will let us know how many people live in each city, county and state in the country. This Census, done every10 years since 1790, forms the basis to determine how many representatives each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives, and also is used for drawing up Georgia Senate and House districts, plus county commission and school board districts.

BRACK: Georgia’s impact on presidential race getting less likely

By Elliott Brack  | Watching the Democrats wrangle for the nomination for president is much like watching a sporting event. Except that is long and drawn out, not so much like a fast-paced basketball game as it is an ever-so-boring, several-day cricket match. Add to this that the political commentators have a field day of putting out new views daily based on the sketchiest of information, the little matters that doesn’t amount to much.

BRACK: In Gwinnett, few Republicans may run for local offices

By Elliott Brack  | Have you noticed?  The Gwinnett Republican Party has so far about vanished in the run-up to this political season. The once-strong and dominant party is having difficulty finding candidates to run for local political offices, that is, compared to the Gwinnett Democratic Party. If anything, the Democrats are awash with candidates.
