The Georgia Hour, episode 78: David Cross for GA GOP Chairman: Election Integrity, Transparency, and Party Unification in 2026

David Cross, a ded­i­cat­ed advo­cate for elec­tion integri­ty, is run­ning for Geor­gia GOP Chair­man against incum­bent Josh McK­oon to lead the par­ty into the crit­i­cal 2026 elec­tions. With Don­ald Trump absent from the bal­lot, Cross empha­sizes a strate­gic plan to ener­gize vot­ers and rebuild the frac­tured GA GOP. Hav­ing cam­paigned for 2nd Vice Chair in 2023 and State Com­mit­tee­man in 2024, Cross con­tin­ues his mis­sion to enhance elec­tion secu­ri­ty and trans­paren­cy. He pro­pos­es a robust busi­ness plan for the GA GOP, includ­ing a sus­tain­able bud­get, full finan­cial rec­on­cil­i­a­tion, and trans­par­ent process­es to restore trust. Cross aims to uni­fy par­ty fac­tions, end inter­nal divi­sions, and focus on defeat­ing Democ­rats through grass­roots out­reach and “fence­line pol­i­tics.” His vision includes month­ly exec­u­tive board meet­ings, quar­ter­ly state com­mit­tee ses­sions, and acces­si­ble lead­er­ship via phone or email. Inspired by Trump’s suc­cess in expand­ing the par­ty, Cross pledges to “swamp the vote” by engag­ing every vot­er, par­tic­u­lar­ly in under­served areas. With a com­mit­ment to account­abil­i­ty and vot­er mobi­liza­tion, Cross seeks to for­ti­fy the GA GOP for long-term suc­cess in 2026 and beyond. Sup­port David Cross for a trans­par­ent, unit­ed, and vic­to­ri­ous Geor­gia Repub­li­can Par­ty.

A con­ver­sa­tion with David Cross, can­di­date for GOP chair­man

• Trump is not on the bal­lot in 2026. It will take a plan to get the vot­ers ener­gized to get them back to the bal­lot box in 2026. There will be huge chal­lenges com­ing. The GOP has an elec­tion for chair­man that will over­see the 2026 elec­tion. David Cross is run­ning for chair­man against the incum­bent Josh McK­oon. 
• David ran for 2nd Vice Chair in 2023 to advance his mes­sage on elec­tion integri­ty and get law­mak­ers to lis­ten to his find­ings. He ran for State Com­mit­tee­man for the same rea­son in 2024. And is run­ning for chair­man for the same rea­son to advance elec­tion secu­ri­ty. 
• The GA GOP has been burnt down and needs to be rebuilt. There needs to be a busi­ness plan for the GA GOP. Cur­rent­ly there is not a bud­get for the par­ty. David will build the par­ty to be sus­tain­able for years to come. 
• There are fac­tions in the par­ty that have to end. David Cross vows to uni­fy the fac­tions to work togeth­er in defeat­ing the democ­rats.
• Month­ly meet­ings, third Tues­day of each month, the exec­u­tive board and dis­trict chairs. Then quar­ter meet­ings for the state com­mit­tee. A full finan­cial rec­on­cil­i­a­tion for the books, full trans­paren­cy. Peo­ple don’t trust the GA GOP because there is not any trans­paren­cy. Any­one that is serv­ing on the exec­u­tive com­mit­tee and board are reach­able by either phone or email. 
• Don­ald Trump did an amaz­ing job in grow­ing the par­ty and tap­ping into those areas that need to be uti­lized. We have to swamp the vote in 2026 and be suc­cess­ful in out­reach to get every vot­er to the bal­lot box. We have to have that fence­line pol­i­tics.
