Maybe some insider information?
Of the candidates can you rate the Republicans by how conservative they are?
Eighteen candidates filed to run in the race. They are as follows:
Judson Hill (R) (former state senator)
Mohammad Ali Bhuiyan (R) (Cobb County economist, Muslim)
Bob Gray (R) (Former Johns Creek Councilman)
Dan Moody (R) (former state senator)
Karen Handel (R) (former Secretary of State and Susan G. Komen For the Cure executive who engineered a ban on funding for Planned Parenthood in 2012.)
Bruce LeVell (R) (head of Trump’s diversity coalition, once led the Gwinnett GOP)
David Abroms (R) (business executive and former Congressional aide.)
Keith Grawert (R) (A U.S. Air Force pilot and Dunwoody resident who wants to ‘return public service to Washington.’)
Amy Kremer (R) (A Republican Tea Party activist)
William Llop (R) (A Sandy Springs accountant who said he will run as a “financial expert” who can help reduce the federal debt.)
Kurt Wilson (R) (A Roswell small business owner)
(democrats)
Ron Slotin (D)
Jon Ossoff (D)
Ragin Edwards (D)
Richard Keatley (D)
Rebecca Quigg (D)
(independents)
Alexander Hernandez (I)
Andre Pollard (I)
Notes: while president Trump may have had a narrow victory there, Tom Price (R), the incumbent, beat the Democrat by 61.7% to 38.3%.
The candidates are from four different counties, so I think anyone would be hard pressed to know where all are at, politically, just from the standpoint that people live in different areas of the district and follow different people, issues.
My fear is that the many Republican candidates so split the vote that we wind up with two Dems in the runoff. We need to unite before the April special election behind a Republican candidate.
I am not sure this is possible.
The one thing we have going for us is that Republicans traditionally have better turnout for off year elections and such, and this is like an off-off year election.
