That's what I saw when I looked her up. I saw nothing about her being anti-Trump. I have no idea where the others are getting that idea.

Also, GA is in the Eastern Time Zone. All of it. Even that part of Georgia that is south and west of Atlanta.

Sounds like an ideal candidate on the issues.
Hopefully, she will come around and support President Trump in Congress.
