FOCUS: Statement from Carolyn Bourdeaux on recent primary

From Carolyn Bourdeaux: Tuesday’s primary did not go the way we had hoped, so my journey in politics is coming to an end for now, but please know that I deeply appreciate your support both during this race and over the many years as we worked to flip Georgia’s 7th district. The friendships and community we have built has been one of the great joys of this experience.

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: Congress is sole judge of who should be seated in both houses

BRACK: Congress is sole judge of who should be seated in both houses

By Elliott Brack | The hullabaloo over voter fraud all across the country, we suspect, is much ado about not much. Yet here in Georgia, we’ve heard of some who say they were, in one way or another, blocked from voting. Most election officials are upright citizens, and wouldn’t stand for it if they suspected fraud.
