Karen Handel doubles down on anti-gay adoption views

June 19, 2017 By Brandon Hanick 1 Comment

Karen Handel, the Republican candidate who is trailing Democrat Jon Ossoff in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District race, has doubled down on her deep-seated beliefs that gay people should not be allowed to adopt children. When asked by a Republican voter about the 2010 video of Handel citing her faith as the reason she believes that gay… [Read More]

#VoteYourOssoff June 20

Georgia’s 6th Congressional District Special Election, which takes place on Tuesday, June 20, is one of the biggest elections in Georgia’s history. Thanks to the work of thousands of volunteers like these folks, Ossoff is leading the polls and is on track to #FlipThe6th and score an upset victory for progressives. Now, it all comes… [Read More]

Ossoff dominates early voting

Ossoff dominates early voting

Early voting is in full force, and the numbers bode well for Jon Ossoff. As of Tuesday morning, more than 102,000 people have voted in Georgia’s 6th Congressional District, according to the Secretary of State’s office. This is double that amount of early voters from the April election. With the many Trump scandals over the… [Read More]

The company Karen Handel keeps

Early voting in the Congressional District 6 race — between Jon Ossoff and Karen Handel — is underway. A gaggle of high profile Republicans with questionable judgement are rallying conservatives both locally and nationally to back Handel. Over the weekend, Greg Gianforte, the Republican who recently body slammed a reporter and won another highly watched… [Read More]

Karen Handel, fiscally responsible?

Karen Handel, fiscally responsible?

Karen Handel continues to boast about her fiscal responsibility, but her track record shows otherwise. In the early 2000’s when Handel was serving as Gov. Deal’s deputy of chief of staff, she suggested spending between $15,000 and $18,000 of tax dollars on new office chairs. It’s no wonder that as Chairwoman of the Fulton County… [Read More]

The dumbest political ads you’ll ever see

The dumbest political ads you’ll ever see

As Ossoff continues to lead in the polls, conservatives continue to make absurd, fact-free ads attacking him. The two most recent attack ads against Ossoff have become increasingly ridiculous, one of which is leading to a cease-and-desist request from the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency for superimposing an Ossoff ad on a San Francisco cable car… [Read More]

Handel silent on Trump’s scandals

Handel silent on Trump’s scandals

Trump is a dumpster fire. And Karen Handel is standing idly by while this country burns. Just over the course of the past two weeks, Trump has been the source of multiple scandals. Last Monday, Trump fired FBI Director James Comey who was heading up the investigation into Trump’s Russia ties. Trump has cited conflicting reasons… [Read More]

Handel refuses to criticize Trump’s Comey firing

Yesterday, Trump abruptly fired the director of the F.B.I., James B. Comey, who was in the middle of leading a criminal investigation into whether Trump’s advisers and the Russian government worked together during the presidential election to ensure Trump’s victory. Trump’s actions are a blatant attack on democracy, but 6th Congressional District candidate Karen Handel refuses… [Read More]

Ossoff and Handel in dead heat

Ossoff and Handel in dead heat

As the special election for the Georgia’s 6th Congressional District continues, Jon Ossoff continues to perform well in the polls — despite the support Trump and Gov. Nathan Deal are funneling toward Ossoff’s opponent Karen Handel. In a recent poll conducted by Anzalone Listz Grove Research, Ossoff is leading over Handel by one point at 48-47. Though… [Read More]

Jon Ossoff and supporters make history

The results are in — Jon Ossoff finished first in the special election. Though he barely missed the 50 percent mark to win outright, we sent a message last night. During this historic election, Georgians rallied around Ossoff to show the whole country that progressives are ready to stand up and push back against the… [Read More]
