🏛️ ALL EYES ON SINE DIE – APRIL 4: ELECTION INTEGRITY FRONT AND CENTER
As we enter the final countdown of Georgia’s legislative session, Sine Die marks a defining moment for conservative leadership. While key priorities like school safety, parental rights, and tax relief are all on the table, election integrity remains at the heart of the fight—in Georgia and across the nation.
That’s why I proudly support President Trump’s Executive Order: Preserving and Protecting the Integrity of American Elections, which calls for secure, transparent, and voter-first election systems that restore confidence and eliminate vulnerabilities. And Georgia is answering that call!
House Bill 397 is moving through the legislature with strong momentum—empowering the State Election Board, enhancing transparency, deepening the security of drop boxes, and withdrawing Georgia from ERIC. This progress is thanks to the leadership of Lt. Governor Burt Jones, Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch, Speaker Jon Burns, and conservative champions like Rep. Tim Fleming, Rep. Victor Anderson, Sen. Sam Watson, Sen. Max Burns, and Sen. Rick Williams. Special thanks to Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones and Brad Carver, Chairman of the GAGOP Election Confidence Task Force, for their relentless commitment.
Support SB 214 (formerly SB 303) – Unplug Georgia’s Dominion Voting Systems
In full alignment with President Trump’s EO, SB 214 would transition Georgia away from Dominion Voting Systems and toward a simpler, more transparent, and secure paper-based system.
This is Georgia’s opportunity to set the national standard for election integrity. Let’s raise that standard—loudly, clearly, and unapologetically
