We’ve had a busy several weeks on the campaign trail! As we continue to approach Election Day, I want to give a brief update on the campaign, including a list of upcoming events and ways you can get involved.
Check it out below!
An Update on the Trail

Last week after our campaign breakfast at The Rose (more on that below), I was honored to participate on a panel at the Georgia Chamber of Commerce’s annual Congressional Luncheon in Athens, where more than 2,500 people from across the state gathered here in the 10th District.
Earlier in the week, I toured Caterpillar’s Athens plant and recently visited Jackson EMC headquarters. I also attended the groundbreaking for St. Mary’s new facility at Lake Oconee, and we've been making many other stops across the district in between. One of the most meaningful moments was spending time with the young leaders at Frontline Policy. I was especially honored when they took time to pray over our team. I’m truly thankful for the next generation of young people who are stepping up, getting involved, and committed to making a difference.
We are now just about eight weeks away from early voting, and there is no slowing down. Over the coming weeks, I’ll be continuing to travel across the district—meeting folks, attending events, and listening to the priorities that matter most to the people I’m running to represent. Our team is hitting the ground hard, too. We’re knocking on doors, recruiting new volunteers, and building the grassroots organization we’ll need for the final stretch.
There is plenty of work ahead, but I’m encouraged by the momentum we’re building and the growing number of people joining our team. With 80 days until Election Day, our focus is simple: keep showing up, keep working hard, and keep building a strong organization across all 20 counties as we head toward early voting and Election Day.

Breakfast at the Rose
We had a PACKED house at the Rose Downtown in Athens for our breakfast fundraiser last week! Thank you to everyone who joined us for this great event. I'm especially grateful to the many statewide and local elected officials and candidates who attended, along with nearly 150 friends and supporters. We had a great conversation about the stakes in November and the importance of electing conservatives up and down the ballot.
If you missed it, we’d love to have you join us for our General Election Kickoff in Athens on August 31st - click HERE to RSVP
