BRACK: Isakson announcement turns Georgia political world topsy-turvy

By Elliott Brack  | The political world in Georgia got thrown topsy-turvy for the coming year’s election, when Sen. Johnny Isakson announced that he would resign from the Senate at the end of the year. The senior senator has served with distinction for 14 years, and has been re-elected rather easily two times. He was not so much the Republican party man, as he was more moderate in his decisions, reflecting many Georgian’s views.

BRACK: Could political history in Gwinnett repeat in a different way in 2020?

By Elliott Brack | Is the Gwinnett political year shaping up similar to what happened in 1984? Could history repeat itself….in a slightly different way?

Those of you not living here then may not realize how pivotal 1984 was for political parties in Gwinnett. Up until that time, there were a few Republican office holders in Gwinnett. Louise Radloff was the first, having been elected as a Republican in 1973.

BRACK: We hate to predict, but statewide politics may not be over Tuesday

By Elliott Brack  | Here’s what we’ll predict: if the political polls are as accurate as the pollsters hope they will be in the 2018 election, politics in Georgia won’t be over today. We predict we’ll have a runoff in the governor’s race, and at least two other statewide races.

10/16: GwinnettForum’s 2018 endorsement issue

By Elliott Brack, editor and publisher | After nearly a full year of people campaigning for election in 2018, the end is near. On November 6, Georgians will vote in the General Election, picking the people to lead our nation in Congress, our state government and our local governments for the short-term future.

Despite all the rhetoric and commercials about the election, we can only hope that our voters will see through the smokescreens and innuendos, and decide for themselves which of the many candidates to support.

GwinnettForum again this year has interviewed state and local candidates—-88 so far—to learn about them so it can select the candidates most worthy of the Gwinnett voter’s choice. What follows is our endorsement of the candidates we think will best serve our area in the coming years.  It was a delight to see so many good candidates offer for office.

BRACK: Slight possibility Georgia’s political season could extend to December

By Elliott Brack  | Competitive election races may stir interest in politics, but you can also bet that it can also turn off people — with the continued barrage of political advertising, some of it hard-hitting. They may end up voting while pinching their nose.
