Very unusually, *Georgia* will hold statewide races this fall—a pair of elections for the 5-member Public Service Commission, which regulates utilities. The panel is all-GOP right now, but Republicans are worried about losing, reports @bluestein.bsky.social at the @ajc.com.
Excited to see John Williams make the decision to run for a public office.
John, who has been active in the Osborne community for years has decided to run for Georgia State Senate District 35 in the special election on November 18th.
Early morning trip to attend Stan Watson's Community Breakfast in Dekalb County. Always great seeing former Rep Howard Mosby, Rep Dar'shun Nicole Kendrick and Rep Billy Mitchell.
Cobb County Schools start August 4th. So that means the Powder Springs Community Taskforce is having their annual Back 2 School Bash. Great seeing our local area PTAs and the South Cobb Council PTA at the Ron Anderson Center.
Thank you to the all the volunteers for continuing to make a difference!
Cobb County parents have the right to be heard when it comes to the education of their children. The Cobb School Board decided in a 4 to 3 vote to stop broadcasting public comments made at school board meetings. That is why I and other legislators are speaking out. #supportcobbparents.
Communities are already seeing the negative impact of the loss of federal funds and it is only going to get worse.
Congratulations to Cobb County on hosting a successful All-Star game.
Cobb County Police & Sheriff's Office did an excellent job & you could tell they worked hard to make sure visitors were able to have fun & be safe at the same time.
Cobb County stepped up to the plate and hit a grand slam!
Republicans are working for their corporate friends & special interest groups instead of Georgia families who want safe schools, a thriving economy & affordable housing.
It's more important than ever that we have real leadership at the state. Please donate today. Link👇
Congratulations to all the players in the HBCU Swingman Classic. Part of MLB All Star Week, the game featured 50 top players from across the country. Of course my Aggies represented!
Breakfast in Milledgeville at The Local Yolkal Cafe. Highly recommend.
Nothing like a Saturday morning with @cobbcountydems.bsky.social.
Millions could lose health insurance as the Trump administration and GOP-controlled Congress weigh major changes to the Affordable Care Act and Medicaid. "The effects could be catastrophic," one policy analyst predicts.
Enjoyed chatting with Canadian Consul General Rosaline Kwan. Important that we continue to build our relationships with our friends to the north.

There it is. Rep. Mike Collins (R-GA) says Republicans’ next goal is to kick seniors off Social Security: “Get off of Social Security. Get back into the workforce.”
It sounds like that could have happened to a lot of Republicans.
Making history - Austell Police Department Chief Shameta Jones-Harrell is the first female chief in Cobb County.
She wouldn’t have voted for the bill if she read it????

Thank you Cobb Tax Commissioner Carla Jackson and her team for the estimator!
“This clown show we are about to witness,” said Democratic state Rep. David Wilkerson, “is a result of the extreme partisan gerrymandering that has caused the election of extreme politicians who only care about sound bites and not actually helping families.”
Sometimes they let the truth slip out. Extreme partisan gerrymandering results in extremely partisan elected officials. thehill.com/homenews/sen...

Largest single gathering of Cobb Legislators listening to & taking questions from the public at the forum hosted by the Senior Citizens Council of Cobb County & Cobb County Senior Services.
Thank you to our hosts, seniors who attended & my State House & Senate colleagues for an engaging event.
Cobb Legislators will be issuing a statement at Cobb County courthouse at 5:30pm today regarding arrests of Greene town hall attendees.
This week Georgia Republicans passed legislation that would allow adults to visually inspect your daughters who want to play girls sports. Without you as a parent being present.

Pete Hegseth’s disclosure of battle plans on a chat app came during an unsteady first two months as defense secretary. While he has experienced some expected challenges in his high-profile role, but he has also stumbled trying to get ahead of his boss, President Trump.
First meeting at 8. So time to enjoy some coffee before heading to the Capitol.
It’s 3 am and our little weather forecaster is trying to tell me it is about to start storming.
