Michelle Nunn and Max Cleland

Today, Michelle Nunn, CEO of Points of Light and daughter of Georgia Senator Sam Nunn, announced her bid for U.S. Senate. Georgians deserve an honest campaign, focused on the issues.

At Better Georgia, we’re preparing to fight, and today, we’re asking you to join us. If you agree that Gov. Deal and

Survey shocker: Sen. Jason Carter polls ahead of Gov. Nathan Deal

If Gov. Nathan Deal wants to keep his seat in the governor’s office, he may want to start thinking about leading on issues that have an impact on people outside of his donor list. In a statewide survey of voters, Better Georgia found no strong support for Gov. Deal, primarily because of voter perceptions of cronyism and corruption along with a lack of leadership on key issues. The big surprise in our polling, however, is
