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 over the past week for this action, but ultimately Trump admitted he had “this Russia thing” on his mind when

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 to speak out against Trump. How can you criticize someone who raised $750,000 for your campaign? After waiting a full

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.

Last night’s results were a huge victory for the volunteers, voters and donors that supported Ossoff. The

Ossoff stays above attack ads

Jon Ossoff is still pulling ahead of his Republican rivals as early voting for the 6th District continues, and Democrats are still outnumbering Republicans in early voting for the April 18 Special Election. While support for Ossoff mounts, the cracks are showing in Republican groups. A radio station had to edit a lie out of an NRA ad attacking Ossoff. The ad claimed Ossoff grew up in Washington D.C, when he grew up right here in

Ossoff dominating polls in 6th district race

Early voting for the April 18 special election has begun, which features the formidable Jon Ossoff running to replace U.S. Rep Tom Price in Georgia’s 6th district. Ossoff dominated an 11Alive poll conducted this week, winning over 43 percent of likely voters. The closest candidate after Ossoff was Republican Karen Handel at just 15 percent. Though things are boding well for Ossoff, we can’t let our guard down now. Voters have to bring this energy
