Rep. Jody Hice announced Monday that he is running for Georgia Secretary of State, challenging fellow Republican Brad Raffensperger.
Hice released a statement as part of his announcement, which read:
"Free and fair elections are the foundation of our country. What Brad Raffensperger did was create cracks in the integrity of our elections, which I wholeheartedly believe individuals took advantage of in 2020. Though I am encouraged to see the General Assembly taking it upon themselves to address some of the glaring issues in our elections, Georgia deserves a Secretary of State who will own the responsibilities of the office. If elected, I will instill confidence in our election process by upholding the Georgia Constitution, enforcing meaningful reform and aggressively pursuing those who commit voter fraud.
Every Georgian, in fact every American, has the right to be outraged by the actions and, simultaneously, the inaction of our Secretary of State. Our state deserves a leader who steers clear of scandals and focuses on the incredibly important duties of the office. If elected, my top priority will be ensuring every Georgian's legally cast ballot is counted in future elections. I am excited about our campaign and I know together we can renew integrity!"

Jody Hice is solid. I’ll be sad to lose him as my Rep. He’ll win.
Raffensberger is one of the most culpable of the Bush League Republicans who cooperated with Democrats to steal GA.

Go Trump!.....Go Hice!
Good to hear.
I like Hice. He is my rep and has always been responsive to phone calls or messages. He has weekly conference calls with his constituents. He was outspoken with regards to the election fraud in Georgia. I think he will win and do a good job as SOS. Who will replace him in the House?
What you said. Raffensberger is filthy dirty.
I have voted for Jody for Congress in the past. He will be a stellar replacement for Ratburger.
Where can a Georgian at heart send a donation.
He's a solid advocate for Trump.
That wasn’t enough for him either, he then set him up to be prosecuted for trying to steal an election. Raffensberger just sat there while Trump took the arrows for a crime he did not committ. Some of the R’s are way worse than the D’s.

Amen
It appears to be a step down but it’s necessary. We just might have been caught off guard in allowing all the state atty generals to go blue. thanks to that holocaust survivor/cooperator.
Hard to believe that Raffensberger will even run again
“Hard to believe that Raffensberger will even run again”
One would think he’d never make it through the primary, but Georgia is an open primary. Stacey and her gang will pull out all the stops to defeat Hice so a Democrat will face Raffensberger in the general.
Stacy is smarter than us. We can make a statement in the primary by showing up in big numbers. Put the scare in them for November. Won’t happen.
