We’re winning

Thanks to you, Georgia’s reputation as “the reddest of red states” is in jeopardy. That’s right. Together, we’ve worked hard, and now, I have great news to share with you. We’re winning. During early voting, we’ve turned out in unprecedented numbers to vote for a brighter future for our state.

Nathan Deal’s 10 biggest education failures

Nathan Deal is an abomination for Georgia schools. He’s devastated public education with billions in budget cuts and gutted the HOPE scholarship.  Here are Nathan Deal’s 10 biggest education failures: 1.

Why did Gov. Deal’s campaign hijack this press conference?

Gov. Nathan Deal continues to hide behind his lawyers when it comes to any questions about his auto salvage business and the company — his $20,000 per month tenant — that owes the state $74 million in back taxes.
