Have you noticed it’s a jungle out there?

-

Back to the pithy problem though — jungle. The first name on my ballot, after President Trump, will be for a Georgia Senator, David Perdue, a business man, an avid supporter of small businesses, decreased regulation­s, support of all thing Made in America. He is against abortion on demand, he is Anti Sanctuary Cities, he is for tax cuts, for Conservati­ve People in the courts, wants to withdraw from the Iran Nuclear Deal, wants to DeFund planned parenthood, and he is in favor of a $2,000 tax credit. His mother was a school teacher so he is all about having Georgia pupils in school. He is working toward solutions to the money challenges our federal government faces. David travels and is able to converse about policy with people in other countries. Perdue is all about Law and Order! and supports keeping our Second Amendment. He is a great

Christian and family man. David Perdue will be my choice over his opponent in a different party, whose name begins with O. Now if that were all that will be on the ballot, no jungle, right?

Keep reading, next Georgia has a junior senator named Kelly Loeffler (pronounced “lefler”) who was appointed by our esteemed Governor, Brian Kemp, to fill a term for a retiring person. Loeffler is a very conservati­ve voter, check out her actual record and her website. She is a very high prolife, pro law and order, pro education, pro 2nd Amendment, and pro business person. She is friend to many and supports the 1st Amendment and religious liberty and free responsibl­e speech. Her email is kellyforse­nate.com.

Unfortunat­ely, the jungle gets dense here for the voter because Loeffler is challenged by at least three other candidates from the

Republican Party including Doug Collins, and perhaps 3 others. If they all stay in the race, it will be a jungle on the ballot and we all have much homework to do to make informed votes! And... there will be candidates from other parties on the ballot to further confuse.

In addition to those choices we have Bubba McDonald for the Public Service Commission whose expertise and experience make him a great choice.

Also, on the Commission is a newcomer, Jason Shaw, who began serving in 2019. Both these candidates deserve votes as they hold different positions on the PSC.

For more informatio­n on all these candidates, contact me. Its fun to talk and listen to views in the remaining two months until we all vote by November 3. Contact me at 423-364-5682 or n_burton001@comcast.net.

Finally, it is important to note early voting begins October 12th through October 23rd. at the Court House in LaFayette from 8:30 to 5:00. Location 103 S. Duke Street.

On Saturday, October 24 voting will occur at all precincts in Walker County 8:30 to 5:00.

If you do not know your precinct, please go to the website: SOS.GA.GOV, My Voter Page, Elections. Be prepared to give personal informatio­n like birthdate, etc. you can verify your precinct.

Then, October 26 through October 30, all precincts will be open for voting early. Probably there will be no long lines as there might be on November 3, General Election Day. Please be prepared with your driver’s license!
