BRACK: Reviewing the 2022 Georgia primary winners and losers 

By Elliott Brack  |  Today let’s review the 2022 primary.  First, let us thank the candidates, the winners and losers, for we cannot vote in our democracy without candidates. They allow it to work.

The most satisfying and surprising turn of this primary was that Lisamarie Bristol ousted Solicitor General Bryan Whiteside, and by a good margin.

BRACK: GwinnettForum’s endorsements for the May 24 primary

By Elliott Brack |  Today the entire issue of GwinnettForum will reveal our  selection of the statewide and Gwinnett candidates who we feel will be the best nominees in current races of each of the political parties on May 24. We do this after talking and getting to know 75 candidates individually, and evaluating their backgrounds and their platforms. If candidates have no opposition in the primary, we do not list an endorsement, since they automatically become the nominee of that party for that office.

By Elliott Brack  |  This year is going to be a hot season in Gwinnett politically, as 117 persons are candidates for local office. Wow.  So many! Lots of offices have several candidates.  Out of all the many seats open, four legislative candidates have no opposition at all, meaning they’ll be back for the 2023 General Assembly without having to pound the pavement for votes.
