Partisan primary elections will be conducted through May 19th to nominate our candidates for Senate, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Attorney General, Secretary of State, and State School Superintendent. Whichever candidates win the primary will compete against the Democrats' nominees in November for the general election.

We asked our statewide candidates to answer the following question: "This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting where 49 gay and lesbian Americans were murdered by an Islamic fundamentalist. In the intervening decade, similar attacks have occured all around the world. Our community continues to be disproportionately targeted for discrimination and violence, especially at the hands of migrants whom the Biden administration allowed into the United States. In the aftermath of the Pulse shooting, President Trump promised: 'As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBT citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.' If elected, how would you support President Trump's efforts in this regard?"

We received responses from the following candidates:

Brian Strickland for Attorney General: "As Attorney General, I will fight to protect all Georgians from violence.  This includes making certain that anyone that targets LGBT citizens is fully prosecuted and that we speak out against this type of violence.  The Attorney General is charged with concurrent jurisdiction over certain areas of organized crime but is also tasked with making certain that locally elected District Attorneys prosecute crimes like this.  I will stand ready to assist with these types of cases and will speak up if violence like this is not directly addressed."

Dr. Takosha Swan for Lieutenant Governor: "Thank you for your question. That was a horrific event and we are glad that the President addressed it. It was a National Security Concern and as the President, he should have definitely spoken to the protection of citizens in the LGBTQ community. As Dr. Swan is a statewide candidate, we do not deal with National Security concerns. However, we will not tolerate violence and/or oppression of a hateful foreign ideology against any group of Georgians."

No matter which ballot you choose (Republican, Democrat, or non-partisan), all voters will choose judges for the Georgia Supreme Court and Court of Appeals. These races are non-partisan, and the final election will be on May 19th with no subsequent election in November. That means that whoever wins on May 19th wins the entire election. Although the races are non-partisan, there are clear ideological differences between the candidates. 

The contested statewide judicial elections are:

For the Supreme Court of Georgia, incumbent Charles “Charlie” Bethel versus Miracle Rankin. Charlie Bethel is the conservative choice. 

For the Supreme Court of Georgia, incumbent Sarah Hawkins Warren versus Jen Auer Jordan. Sarah Hawkins Warren is the conservative choice. 

For the Court of Appeals, incumbent Trenton "Trent" Brown versus Will Wooten. Trent Brown is the conservative choice.

For the Court of Appeals, incumbent Elizabeth Gobeil versus Fatima Harris Felton. Elizabeth Gobeil is the conservative choice.

Do not forget to vote in these judicial races on your ballot! The Democrats are trying to take over the courts with far-left radicals who would try to impose their agenda from the bench. Jen Jordan is a former Democrat State Senator. Vote for Bethel, Warren, Brown, and Gobeil to protect the integrity of our courts!

We asked all Congressional candidates to answer the following question: "This year marks the 10th anniversary of the Pulse nightclub shooting where 49 gay and lesbian Americans were murdered by an Islamic fundamentalist. Our community continues to be disproportionately targeted for discrimination and violence by migrants who have recently arrived in the United States. In the aftermath of the Pulse shooting, President Trump promised, 'As your president, I will do everything in my power to protect our LGBT citizens from the violence and oppression of a hateful foreign ideology.' If elected to Congress, how would you support President Trump's efforts to protect the gay and lesbian community both at home and abroad?" We received the following answers:

Justin Pinker, Candidate for the 6th District: "First off let me say, it does not feel like 10 years since the Pulse nightclub shooting. It was a tragedy then, and still is now. And the sad part is, hate crimes are rising. Especially against our LGBT citizens. As a Representative, I will be committed to working with President Trump, as well as all future Presidents to end this plague of hate crimes. How to solve it: I believe every individual who has the ability to own a gun legally, and who is responsible, should own one for their protection and the protection of others. In a world where hate is growing, we need good people to start standing up and being vocal about protecting others. I will support bills, that make prosecuting hate crimes easier. Right now, it is extremely difficult to prove hate is the only motive. Lowering that bar to ‘it was a contributing factor’ means prosecutions go up, and we get repeat offenders off the streets. We have to start punishing offenders like we care about the people they are hurting. We cannot let them keep getting away with a slap on the wrist. You are too valuable to have to be living in fear just because of who you are. 

Kevin Martin, Candidate for the 6th District: "As a conservative Christian, I believe in the protection of any U.S. citizens, home or abroad. I may not agree with the lifestyle that certain U.S. citizens live, but they have the right to live under the protection of the Constitution and to pursue life, liberty, and happiness. I do and would support President Donald J. Trump and any other president in all efforts to protect all U.S. citizens. However, I would also advise all citizens of the dangers of visiting certain countries and educate them on the foreign countries views and values, so that as a citizen of U.S., we show the respect of other nations and their laws and avoid any conflict of interests and ideology." 

Ryan Millsap, Candidate for the 10th District: "The Pulse nightclub attack was a horrific act of terrorism, and every American deserves to live in safety without fear. I support President Trump’s focus on defeating radical Islamic extremism and securing our border, because protecting American Individual Liberty must always come first. Securing Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness is the primary purpose of government for all American citizens."

Chris Mora, Candidate for the 11th District: "Ten years after the horrific Pulse nightclub attack that claimed 49 innocent lives, we still mourn those lost and remain committed to ensuring no American community, gay, straight, or any other, ever face events like this again. President Trump was right then and he is right now. We must protect every single American from the violence and oppression of hateful foreign ideologies. If elected to Congress, I will support his efforts by defending the God-given rights of all Americans in Georgia’s district under the full protections of the U.S. Constitution. That starts with a MORA-Torium on immigration until we regain total control of our borders. A nation without secure borders is a nation without safety. I will fight for the strongest possible border security measures, treat illegal mass entry as the national security threat and invasion that it is, and immediately deport any criminal or illegal aliens currently in the United States illegally. I stand with ICE and our frontline law enforcement heroes who enforce our immigration laws every single day. I will also defend the First Amendment so that every American, regardless of who they love, can speak freely without fear of government censorship or radical ideology silencing them. I will protect the Second Amendment so law-abiding citizens, including members of the LGBT community, have the fundamental right to defend themselves and their loved ones when government fails to do so. These are not special protections for any one group. They are the same constitutional rights that belong to every American. By securing our borders, enforcing a moratorium on uncontrolled immigration, deporting criminal and illegal aliens, standing with ICE, and rebuilding American military strength through 'Peace Through Strength,' we keep radical foreign ideologies and the violence they export far from our shores, both at home and by projecting power abroad so that regimes like Iran can no longer throw gays off buildings with impunity. President Trump delivered on his promises before with a Republican Congress, we will deliver again. I will always put all Georgians and all Americans first, under the Constitution, with secure borders, and with the full force of American strength."
