https://www.gpbnews.org/post/kelly-loeffler-georgia-s-next-senatorGov. Brian Kemp on Wednesday named Atlanta businesswoman Kelly Loeffler as Georgias next U.S. Senator as the Republican party in Georgia seeks to maintain control of two Senate seats, the state House and its presidential vote heading into the 2020 election cycle.
Loeffler will be the second-ever woman to represent Georgia in the Senate, and, if she wins a special election next fall, she will be the first Georgia woman elected to the Senate. In her remarks, she acknowledged that it will take work for her become known to voters in Georgia.
But heres what folks are gonna find out about me: Im a lifelong conservative, pro-Second Amendment, pro-military, pro-wall and pro-Trump, she said. And I make no apologies for my conservative values, and will proudly support President Trumps conservative judges.
Its been three months since Johnny Isakson announced he would step down from office at the end of 2019 due to health concerns. In that time, Kemp asked for input from interested parties through a public application portal and sought to develop a shortlist of applicants that would reflect his commitment to appointing people of diverse and non-traditional backgrounds to government posts.

piss off over the orange bloat's attempts to ram Doug Collins down his throat. Rump is going to deffo retaliate somehow, as he saw Collins in the Senate s being his chief attack dog during the trial.

I thought Senators don't get to do or say shite during the "trial"; they're jurors.
On camera, outside the Senate chamber? Sure, but Trump's got Lindsey the Situational Ethicist to do that.
Collins is more help where he is.

House
