PLUS: We get a post-primary checkup on the Democrats’ slate in Georgia from Atlanta-based strategist & Mike Collins will have a hard time beating Ossoff when he’s unliked within GOP ranks
Now that we’re clear of the primary calendar (checks to make sure it’s impossible there’s any. more. run-offs) it’s time to get to know some of the Democratic candidates throughout the state running for state and federal offices.
Numerically, why not start in Georgia’s 1st Congressional? Amanda Hollowell is the party’s nominee; a well-known political strategist and the Chief of Campaigns at Color Of Change, the country’s largest online racial justice organization. I got to spend a lot of time learning about her, what’s shaped her mindset and how her professional background and her raising a son who chimes in with his and his friends’ views makes her a sharpened candidate to flip GA 1. – – –
Atlanta-based political strategist/consultant Andrew Heaton popped on a call for a post-primary check-up of the Georgia Democratic Party’s November slate, and to look at what the GOP counter candidacy looks like, too.
One issue that may hobble Mike Collins is that he’s unlikable even among prominent conservatives in the state, and the improprieties within his campaign and Congressional office may dog him throughout the general election cycle.
