Dive into Georgia’s high-stakes 2025 elec­tions: Pub­lic Ser­vice Com­mis­sion races could spark a Demo­c­ra­t­ic fundrais­ing fren­zy to flip House and Sen­ate seats. The Sec­re­tary of State race heats up with Gabe Sterling’s res­ig­na­tion, Jor­dan Fuchs no longer in office, Raf­fensperg­er mak­ing his rounds. Ful­ton County’s com­mis­sion board faces legal bat­tles over the refusal to appoint the Repub­li­can nom­i­nees Jason Fra­zier and Julie Adams. While Ful­ton Coun­ty is gear­ing up for a spe­cial elec­tion to be held Tues­day with sev­en can­di­dates, includ­ing three Repub­li­cans self-fund­ing $726,000, vie for Bran­don Beach’s Sen­ate Dis­trict 21 seat. JD Vance’s Atlanta vis­it high­lights Trump-Kemp ten­sions, with Bri­an Doo­ley lever­ag­ing Kemp’s endorse­ment to chal­lenge Jon Ossoff, and Mike Collins get­ting the nod in intro­duc­tions. Stay updat­ed on Georgia’s polit­i­cal pow­er plays!

  • We have two Pub­lic Ser­vice races that are tak­ing place in Novem­ber. If the democ­rats win one or two of these seats the democ­rats will act as though they won the super bowl around the nation. It will ener­gize them to get out the vote and to pour mon­ey into Geor­gia and not just for Jon Ossoff. They will pour mon­ey into races you don’t expect to pick up House seats and Sen­ate seats. It will be as though they have won a decade of Super Bowls. 
  • We have a Sec­re­tary of State’s race hap­pen­ing, we have the state board of elec­tions where the state leg­is­la­ture has tried to pull them away from the sec­re­tary of state’s office and the sec­re­tary of state is pulling hard to pull them back into the office. We have sev­er­al SOS announced can­di­dates. We have Tim Flem­ing who is the chair of the blue rib­bon pan­el on elec­tions. He has been told that he should get on board with Trump’s mail in bal­lot agen­da. 
  • Gabe Sterling,COO, has resigned from the Sec­re­tary of State’s office for pri­vate prac­tice? Now he has to resign from the office to run for office. Now con­sti­tu­tion­al offi­cers do not have to resign to run for office. You have to resign your lead­er­ship posi­tions but not your office. And if you are an employ­ee of the state to run for office you have to resign. Gabe’s busi­ness is Ster­ling Inno­v­a­tive Solu­tions which was cre­at­ed in 2015. Why did Gabe cre­ate this LLC? Because he want­ed to have mon­ey dumped in when he would do con­sult­ing work. Ster­ling Inno­v­a­tive Solu­tions is the com­pa­ny that Domin­ion paid when Gabe was the 2020 imple­men­ta­tion man­ag­er offi­cer statewide as a sub­con­trac­tor to Domin­ion. That is why we can­not see how much mon­ey Domin­ion gave Gabe Ster­ling. Remem­ber when we were wait­ing for updates on the elec­tion he was stand­ing behind the state seal when he was a sub­con­trac­tor. Look for his announce­ment that he is run­ning for Sec­re­tary of State. Him resign­ing means there will be moves in the office. 
  • If you go to the Sec­re­tary of State’s office you will see the Senior Lead­er­ship of the office. Matthew Tyser is the Deputy Sec­re­tary of State. Jor­dan Fuchs was the Deputy SOS. Jor­dan has left the inner office, sources are that she has left to work on the Raf­fensperg­er or the Ster­ling cam­paign. They are gear­ing up for the next move. Raf­fensperg­er is doing the same cam­paign mod­el as he did for his SOS cam­paign. Going to the busi­ness and com­mu­ni­ty lead­ers at cham­ber meet­ings across the state. Watch for the devel­op­ments. 
  • Ful­ton Coun­ty is on Trump’s radar. The RNC is pay­ing the legal bills for the Ful­ton Coun­ty Repub­li­can par­ty. This case will open up every­thing we have talked about on the show. Brid­get Throne has said that she has already talked to law­mak­ers about clean­ing up the lan­guage of the law for appoint­ments to the board of elec­tions. We have coun­ties all around the state that have had dif­fi­cul­ty to get the repub­li­can nom­i­nees on the board of elec­tions and reg­is­tra­tion. Almost every coun­ty com­mis­sion out there they can read from dif­fer­ent rule books when it comes to the nom­i­nees and appoint­ments to their coun­ty elec­tions. And when there is a prob­lem, the Supe­ri­or court will make a rul­ing on the rules in that coun­ty. We have to go to our leg­is­la­ture to clean up appoint­ments to elec­tion boards statewide. It has to hap­pen this time. Ful­ton Coun­ty accord­ing to their rules and laws they have to put Jason Fraiz­er and Julie Adams on the board. They are mak­ing the argu­ments to change the laws. They are rush­ing into court today for an emer­gency rul­ing. Ful­ton Coun­ty board of com­mis­sion­ers were sup­posed to abide by the court orders and were direct­ed at their next meet­ing they are sup­posed to appoint these two to the board. Is the court going to hold the whole com­mis­sion in con­tempt or exclude the two repub­li­cans because they vot­ed to appoint. They had a quo­rum on Wednes­day to make the appoint­ment but the vote failed. 
  • Bran­don Beach got an office job and a phone in DC. There are sev­en can­di­dates that are replac­ing Beach. Beach is a mod­er­ate at best, he is not con­ser­v­a­tive. The Sev­en can­di­dates have raised a com­bined $1.1 mil­lion as they vie to become Georgia’s next state sen­a­tor — much of it from their own pock­et­books. The three repub­li­cans have lent their cam­paigns a com­bined $726,00 ahead of next week’s spe­cial elec­tion in Sen­ate Dis­trict 21, which cov­ers part of Ful­ton and Chero­kee coun­ties. There are six repub­li­cans and one demo­c­rat vying to replace Beach. Lance Calvert loaned him­self $125,000. Jason Dick­er­son loaned him­self $500,000. Bri­an Will loaned him­self $101,000. This is only a 30 day elec­tion. This will go into a run off. Why would they loan their cam­paigns their own mon­ey for an $18,000 a year job? Keep in mind they can loan them­selves mon­ey and pay it back with a per­cent­age. If he wins it is actu­al­ly a prof­it for him as it gets paid back. Won­der if they are wait­ing on any lob­by­ist and won­der how the cam­paign pay­back will be. Return on Invest­ment should nev­er be in pol­i­tics. 
  • JD Vance was in Atlanta. All three can­di­dates for US Sen­ate were there and gave their pre­view speech. We have no true out­ward men­tion of the endorse­ments from the white house but Mike Collins got the Great Mike Collins. Don’t for­get Doo­ley is endorsed by Kemp. He made his first real pub­lic appear­ances yes­ter­day. He has had sev­er­al safe zone inter­views the past sev­er­al weeks. Then he has had some round­table set ups where his team has set it up and they have watched the films from his plays. He is doing these lit­tle videos about how his days are and play­ing the Trump card. He is try­ing to con­vince you that he is the best bal­anced can­di­date to beat Jon Ossoff and he will sup­port Trump. Most peo­ple do not pay atten­tion to pol­i­tics right now. Mon­ey can con­vince you with the mass­es of the mail­ers on the kitchen table. So don’t count the guy out. 
  • Trump comes to Atlanta, Bri­an Kemp does not meet him at the air­port. Mar­ty Kemp does not like Trump or Burt Jones. But they like JD Vance and Peter Thiele and his mon­ey. JD Vance is the polit­i­cal off­spring of Peter Tielh. Trump comes to Atlanta and he is upset that Kemp didn’t meet him in Atlanta and Trump goes off on Kemp. Then there is a hur­ri­cane. JD Vance is the guy that bro­kered the deal to get the W in Geor­gia. Bri­an Kemp said a lot of pos­i­tive words about JD Vance. There are a lot of things in the works. Pay atten­tion. 
  • Raf­fensperg­er releas­es a state­ment slam­ming the Ful­ton Coun­ty com­mis­sion­ers for open­ly defy­ing a court order and their refusal to seat two repub­li­can nom­i­nees on the Ful­ton Coun­ty Elec­tions board. Pay atten­tion how this will pay out.
