NRA Endorses Governor Kemp for Re-election

Published on

Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp joined former congressman and current National Rifle Association (NRA) board member Bob Barr, NRA State Director Art Thomm, and other 2nd Amendment advocates on Monday in Atlanta as the NRA Political Victory Fund announced its endorsement of Governor Kemp in the GOP primary for governor.

“Brian Kemp has been a steadfast supporter of our constitutional right to keep and bear arms for nearly two decades,” said Jason Ouimet, chairman, NRA Political Victory Fund. “Governor Kemp has never wavered in the fight to expand and protect the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding Georgians. The NRA is proud to endorse Governor Brian Kemp and encourages all NRA members, gun owners, hunters and sportsmen to vote for Brian Kemp in the upcoming Republican Primary election.”

“Whether it was when we took action during the pandemic to ensure gun owners wouldn’t lose their license as a result of government red tape, or this year when myself and members of the General Assembly joined together to fulfill my promise to make Constitutional Carry the law of the land in our state, the NRA stood with us every step of the way,” said Governor Kemp. “As Georgia’s Governor, I’ve been grateful for their support and partnership, and as a gun-owner and lifelong member, I’m proud to receive their endorsement as we continue to fight every day for the Constitutional rights of all Georgians.”

In 2018’s gubernatorial primary, the NRA endorsed then-Lieutenant Governor Casey Cagle.

Sheriffs Get Involved in Kemp-Perdue Spat Over Georgia State Patrol

Published on

Georgia Sheriffs are among those now involved in the spat between Governor Brian Kemp and David Perdue over the Georgia State Patrol.

Last week, Republican challenger David Perdue said in an interview that he would prioritize returning the state patrol to “an elite level.”

“We’ve got to get our Georgia State Patrol back to the elite level that it always was. Somehow it’s been let to deteriorate by a lack of leadership from the Governor’s Office over the last three years, in my opinion,” he said.

The statement was met with opposition from former GSP employees and gubernatorial candidates alike.

Republican candidate for Governor Kandiss Taylor said:

Kemp said he wouldn’t allow attacks on the “elite men and women” who have “served our state admirably” and ;ate last week, a coalition of Georgia sheriffs and state lawmakers condemned Perdue’s comments.

The coalition released the following statement:

“As sheriffs and leaders in local law enforcement, we are disappointed in former Senator Perdue’s disparaging comments about our partners in the Georgia State Patrol. Every day, we work alongside the Department of Public Safety to keep our communities and state safe, and today we stand shoulder to shoulder with the men and women who wear the blue and gray. In these uncertain and dangerous times for law enforcement, we appreciate the strong support Governor Kemp and his family have given to the dedicated Georgians who wear the uniform.”

Sheriff James Hale – Oconee County
Sheriff Stephen Tinsley – Clinch County
Sheriff Stacy Jarrard – Lumpkin County
Sheriff Clark Millsap – Bartow County
Sheriff Jeff Johnson – Dawson County
Sheriff Mike Jolley – Harris County
Sheriff Lenn Wood – Coweta County
Sheriff Rick Kelley – White County
Sheriff Neil Jump – Glynn County
Sheriff Jud Smith – Barrow County
Sheriff Robert Markley – Morgan County
Sheriff Dan Kilgore – Upson County
Sheriff Jim Proctor – Camden County
Sheriff Charles “Nick” Norton – Lanier County
Sheriff Chad Nichols – Rabun County
Sheriff Clay Whittle – Columbia County
Sheriff Steve Thomas – Franklin County
Sheriff Ashley Paulk – Lowndes County
Sheriff Joe Chapman – Walton County
Sheriff Jeff Watson – Taylor County
Sheriff Shane Tondee – Schley County

“Former Senator Perdue’s comments regarding the Georgia State Patrol are extremely disrespectful and show a blatant disregard for the distinguished service of our state law enforcement. The General Assembly and Governor Kemp have always made public safety and supporting our men and women in uniform a top priority. In addition to the $5,000 raise for state law enforcement included in this year’s budget, numerous additional trooper schools over the years, and appropriations for the new Department of Public Safety headquarters, we have worked hard to give these heroes the tools – and strong support – they need to protect our families, communities, and state. Specifically, personnel within the Department deserve enormous credit for their significant progress through the Crime Suppression Unit in Atlanta and other metro areas around the state. We stand with our Republican colleagues in the House and Senate, along with Governor Kemp and his family, in backing the blue!”

  • Sen. John Albers – Chairman, Georgia Senate Public Safety Committee
  • Rep. J Collins – Chairman, Georgia House Public Safety and Homeland Security Committee
  • Rep. Bill Hitchens – Chairman, Georgia House Appropriations Subcommittee on Public Safety, former Commissioner of the Georgia Department of Public Safety, and 28-year veteran of the Georgia State Patrol

Perdue later doubled down, saying:

8 Questions to Appear on GOP Primary Election Ballot

Published on

8 Questions will appear on the GOP primary election ballot for voters on May 24.

The State Executive Committee of the Georgia Republican Party has voted to ask the following advisory questions on the Republican Primary Ballot:

  1. The Biden administration has stopped building the border wall and illegal border crossings have dramatically increased. Should securing our border be a national priority? 
  2. Education is the largest line item in the state budget. Should education dollars follow the student to the school that best fits their need, whether it is public, private, magnet, charter, virtual, or homeschool? 
  3. Florida has passed a law to stop social media platforms from influencing political campaigns by censoring candidates. Should Georgia pass such a law to protect free speech in political campaigns? 
  4. Two of the three current federal work visa programs are lottery based. Should issuance of federal work visas instead be based on job skills? 
  5. Biological males who identify as females have begun competing in female sports. Should schools in Georgia allow biological males to compete in female sports?
  6. To prevent ballot tampering, state law prohibits political operatives from handling absentee ballots once they have been marked by a voter. To protect the integrity of our elections, should the enforcement of laws against ballot tampering be a priority?
  7. Absentee drop boxes are vulnerable to illegal ballot trafficking. Should absentee ballot drop boxes be eliminated? 
  8. Crime has dramatically increased throughout the country including in our capital city of Atlanta. Should the citizens of residential areas like the Buckhead community of Atlanta be allowed to vote to create their own city governments and police departments

Suggested advisory questions were solicited from members of the State Committee and then approved by the State Executive Committee. 

The questions and answers won’t be binding for state law, but will provide lawmakers with guidance on future legislative initiatives.

Cowen Running for Georgia Attorney General on the Libertarian Ticket

Published on
Martin Cowen appears in front of the Georgia flag in a headshot for his candidacy for Georgia Attorney General

Martin Cowen is running for Georgia Attorney General on the Libertarian ticket.

He is one of the many Libertarian candidates who will appear on the ballot in 2022, though he’s no stranger to politics. A lawyer by trade, Cowen began practicing law in 1975 and the State Bar of Georgia shows him as an active member in good standing. He’s a member of the Board of Governors of the State Bar of Georgia, a member of the Georgia Association of Criminal Defense Lawyers, and a graduate of UGA Law School (1975).

Cowen also has a lengthy history with the Libertarian Party. In 2013, Clayton County voters elected Cowen to serve as an associate probate judge and in the years following, he ran as a write-in candidate for Congress, thanks to Georgia’s stifling ballot access laws. More notably, Cowen was party to the 2017 lawsuit in which four individuals and the Libertarian Party of Georgia sued the state over its ballot access laws which limit who can seek public office when not a member of the Republican or Democratic parties. 

Race for Attorney General

During the January 2022 Libertarian Party convention, delegates nominated Cowen as the candidate for Attorney General. He joins Republican Chris Carr, the incumbent, and Democrat Jen Jordan, a current state senator, in the race for the state’s top legal position.

According to his website, which has a subheader that reads ‘Don’t hurt people. Don’t take their stuff,’ Cowen has four goals for the campaign trail and for elected office:

  1. To follow the law;
  2. To be ethical:
  3. To be professional; and,
  4. To be nice.

In terms of advocacy and ideology, Cowen lists:

  1. Advocating an end to qualified immunity for government agents who kill or injure innocent civilians by accident or otherwise.
  2. Advocating an end to no-knock warrants.
  3. Advocating an end to civil asset forfeiture without trial and conviction, without due process.
  4. Advocating an end to the War on Drugs.
  5. Protecting Georgia medical doctors from persecution by pharmaceutical companies and their government agents for practicing medicine with informed patient consent consistent with their own well-earned professional judgment.
  6. Defending Georgia citizens from the imposition of vaccine mandates and passports.
  7. Ensuring that all adults have the right to make their own health care decisions free from government interference.

And, in a disclaimer of sorts, Cowen says:

Also, it must be understood, that the powers of the Georgia Attorney General are limited by the law and the Constitutions of Georgia and the United States. When I make a policy claim during the campaign understand that I am aware that the Office of the Georgia Attorney General has very limited powers and, despite what I may claim aspirationally during the campaign, no policy outside the power of the Office of the Georgia Attorney General will be proposed or implemented once I am in office.

General Election

Qualifying for all races begins March 7. If Carr and Jordan qualify for the office without any primary challengers, each will run unopposed in the May election. Cowen will continue campaigning independently for Georgia Attorney General on the Libertarian ticket before squaring off against the other two on November 6, 2022. 

He’s penned a number of articles on the LPGeorgia website if you’d like to learn more about his ideology.
