THE GEORGIA HOUR — Today is Georgia 101

  • Today is Geor­gia 101
  • Thurs­day will be the State of the State address where Gov Kemp will lay out his agen­da for the upcom­ing leg­isla­tive ses­sion. The Lt Gov Burt Jones who was endorsed by Don­ald Trump it is under­stood that he and Kemp are not the clos­est of friends. There is some fric­tion there. In 2026 is our elec­tion cycle. Burt Jones is going to put in a bid for gov­er­nor and Chris Carr has already put his hat in for gov­er­nor. Bri­an Kemp has asked for peo­ple to get through this leg­isla­tive ses­sion before cam­paign­ing. 
  • The state of GA repub­li­can house and sen­ate used to have a super­ma­jor­i­ty. Mean­ing that if Kemp doesn’t want it to make it into law, they don’t have the option to force the bill into law. We elect our state house and sen­ate mem­bers every 2 years, it has shrunk every­time. Democ­rats con­tin­ue to dilute the repub­li­can major­i­ty. 
  • All our con­sti­tu­tion­al offi­cers are on the bal­lot in 2026. They will start ban­ter­ing back and forth on leg­is­la­tion. Kemp is termed out and can­not run again. He may step out and run for US Sen­ate against Ossoff. This will open the door for open pri­maries for many con­sti­tu­tion­al offices. This may be the largest elec­tion in GA. In GA we have a monar­chy. Bri­an Kemp was appoint­ed to the Sec­re­tary of State office. Chris Carr was appoint­ed Attor­ney Gen­er­al. John King was appoint­ed to this office. Kemp will appoint a new Com­mis­sion­er of Labor, we are wait­ing on who he will appoint. 
  • Our state sen­ate is the clos­est we come to be con­ser­v­a­tive. We have some indi­vid­u­als that will stand up and fight some bat­tles but the prob­lem is they have to nego­ti­ate down to pass bills that the lib­er­al house will pass. In the House the 180 mem­bers do not push back on the speak­er. Jon Burns, the speak­er of the house, is not a con­ser­v­a­tive
  • We are prob­a­bly the only state that has a dual gov­er­nor­ship. Mar­ty Kemp plays a large role in the gov­er­nor’s office. There is a lot of spec­u­la­tion that she wants to run for office. Mar­ty is in the list of admin­is­tra­tion. Remem­ber Bri­an Kemp is the chair of the Repub­li­can Gov­er­nors Asso­ci­a­tion. 
  • Review­ing the Geor­gia Gen­er­al Assem­bly web­site. Today there will be a lot of back slap­ping and for­mal­i­ties.
