Why Doug Collins Needs to Win the Georgia Senate Race

As is well known, Georgia senator Johnny Isakson resigned in December due to health issues. He never should have run for re-election in 2016, but that's another matter. He had three years left in his term, and Governor Brian Kemp solicited applications from Georgians to fill his seat for 2020. Kemp received hundreds of applications, one of which was from Representative Doug Collins, of my congressional district — the Georgia 9th. Collins was President Trump's choice to replace Isakson. The president reportedly asked Governor Kemp on several occasions to appoint Collins to the Senate, but Kemp bucked the president and chose political outsider and multimillionaire businesswoman Kelly Loeffler, co-owner of the WNBA team the Atlanta Dream.

Loeffler will serve as senator during 2020, and then there will be a special election this November in which the voters will choose who will serve the last two years of Isakson's term. Georgia has a strange way of electing replacements to Congress when there's an opening mid-term. All of the qualifying candidates will be on the ballot in November — Democrats, Republicans, and independents — a "jungle" election. If no one receives a majority of the votes, the top two will face a runoff in January to decide the winner. Some of our state legislators attempted to pass legislation to enact a primary and avoid the jungle vote so the parties could unite behind their one candidate, but Governor Kemp threatened to veto the measure. The change would likely have favored Collins instead of Kemp's pick, Loeffler. As of today, there are five declared Rpublicans in the race (Collins and Loeffler are the most notable), five Democrats, and one independent.

Lets just get down to brass tacks. Kemp sold Isaksons seat to Loeffler. The price was Perdue Agra buying out a failing agri business that Kemp had guaranteed a half million dollar loan for. Then another agri business controlled by Loefflers husband bought out the debt from Perdue Agra. Blago style. And thats how you buy a Senate seat boys and girls.

Vote for Doug Collins. Loeffler is David Perdue in a skirt.
