Based
on recent reports, it appears that Donald Trump has not yet endorsed a
candidate for Governor of Georgia in the 2026 election cycle, which includes
the upcoming year 2025.
However,
several individuals are actively seeking to align themselves with Trump to gain
his support:
· Lieutenant Governor
Burt Jones, who officially entered the race on July 8, 2025, has publicly
emphasized his long-standing ties to Trump and efforts to deliver Trump's
agenda in Georgia. He is considered a close ally of the former President and is
likely to angle for his endorsement. Jones also notably participated in the
attempt to certify Georgia's 2020 election results for Trump as a state
senator.

We remain in the house we bought in 1983. We like our house. We totally upgraded it ourselves. We are not that far from our kids, grandkids and great grandkids. We like the weather. We usually get enough rain in the Summer to avoid having to use our sprinkler system.
Our weather treaty with Alabama requires that the tornados break up at the Alabama border. In exchange, we give Alabama some of our Chattahoochee River water.
The estimated drop in Georgia’s Nominal GDP is expected to be revised upward if the Fed cuts the Interest Rates.
The Georgia Legislature needs to repeal “Regionalism Laws” that were used to implement UN Agenda 21.
