GA GOP Delegates Demand Hearing After Raffensperger Violates Law to Approve Illegal Qualification

April 9, 2026 by Georgia Republican Assembly in Campaign / Election / Issues

Atlanta, GA – Today Brandyn James and Harvey Wysong filed a “Writ of Mandamus “ petitioning Fulton County Superior Court to compel Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger to hold a hearing for their electoral challenge to the qualification of Brad Raffensperger as a gubernatorial candidate in the Republican primary. This case is unique in that Raffensperger is both the candidate in question and the elected official responsible to facilitate electoral challenges whenever a voter asserts a candidate did not meet the legal requirements to qualify for a specific office.

The motion claims that Brad Raffensperger violated state law ( O.C.G.A. §21-2-5) when his office “refused to perform its duties in referring a challenge to the qualifications of a candidate for governor to an administrative law judge.”

The Secretary of State (SoS) office replied by letter on March 30th stating that there was no legal challenge and no action would be taken. State law does not give the SoS the authority to summarily dismiss a candidate challenge without a hearing.

The challenge asserts that the qualification of Brad Raffensperger by the Republican Party was illegal and an abuse of authority since the party administrators who conducted the qualification had been strictly forbidden by the highest authority in the GAGOP – the state convention – to qualify Brad Raffensperger as a Republican candidate due to his anti-Republican record.

“Raffensperger’s record is inexcusable!” said Brandyn James.

Wysong and James believe the GA GOP had good reason to ban Raffensperger from the Republican ballot. They cite examples of him trusting leftist Democrat non-profits to provide voting machines and elections softwar e.

Also they point to an Amicus Brief the SoS filed opposing election integrity advocates’ effort to examine Fulton County ballots that appeared to be counterfeit, and other “basic, common sense election integrity efforts” to which the SoS has been hostile.

“If someone repeatedly plays Benedict Arnold and betrays his own party and the party’s commitment to fair, honest elections, the party shouldn’t be expected to accept his candidacy for the next election—and we didn’t,” said Wysong and James in an online fundraiser campaign for their legal battle.

They further expose that “Brad Raffensperger was responsible for allowing $45 Million from a Zuckerberg funded Democrat non-profit (called “Zuckerbucks”) to influence Georgia elections.”

“Fool me once, shame on you,” said Brandyn James. “Fool me twice, shame on me… We had to do something!”

*Ted Metz speaking at the 2026 State GRA Endorsement Convention*

Interestingly, when Garret Ashley filed a similar candidate challenge last month against Ted Metz, a candidate for Secretary of State, claiming he was affiliated with the Libertarian Party, not the Republican Party, Ashley received a hearing without question. Metz defended himself and the challenge was not sustained, and Metz officially qualified as a Republican candidate. However, Ashley’s case received a hearing even though there was not nearly as strong a case for his challenge as there is here against Raffensperger’s candidacy. There was no documented majority vote by hundreds of Republican Party delegates banning Metz from qualifying as a Republican for any office, as there was with Raffensperger. Why the double standard? It seems obvious.

Some have claimed the motion passed by the GA GOP Convention banning Raffensperger was illegal and therefore the party had no responsibility to enforce it. However, constitutional rights, like the right to Freedom of Association, supercede state law.

“If their view of the law is correct and the directive illegal,” said GRA 1st Vice President Nick Cooper, “then that resolution kicking Geoff Duncan out of the Republican Party was completely meaningless — meaning that Geoff has some kind of ‘right’ to run as a Republican! If she wanted, Stacey Abrams could show up and qualify to run as a Republican, and there would be no legal means for the party itself to stop her!”

This is, of course, absurd. There is no “right” to run as a Republican anymore than there is a “right” to be a pastor of a specific church when the church doesn’t want you and voted to ban you. The government cannot force a political party to accept candidates who do not represent their ideology.

Fox News reported this week that the Ohio Supreme Court blocked a RINO candidate who was “caught publicly admitting that his candidacy was part of a calculated strategy to run Democrats as Republicans in “deep red districts” to “get a foot in the door.””

In North Carolina, a candidate named Kate Barr ran as a Republican but stated: “I’m not a real Republican… I’m running as a progressive in a Republican primary.” This kind of contradiction naturally infuriates real Republicans, who believe in the principles of the party and the timeless truths that shaped the party platform.

Why do some Georgia Republicans continue to ignore this problem and oppose accountability in the party? Political parties in other countries – countries with far less freedom – like Indi a and the U K are not at all ashamed to expect ideological adherence from candidates representing their party, and remove those who deviate from the stated ideology of the party. This is a fundamental and we contend a necessary aspect of what it means to be a political party.

“This discussion is over the idea of whether someone has a right to run as a Republican — not whether they want to run at all,” said Cooper. “It would be perfectly fine for Brad Raffensperger to run as an Independent.”

Brandyn James and Harvey Wysong have courageously stepped up to take on this legal battle, but they cannot do it by themselves. They need their fellow Georgia patriots to support them.

They Qualified Raffensperger Anyway: “Here’s Your Receipt!”

March 5, 2026 by Alex Johnson in Issues

According to the Secretary of State’s website, the Georgia Republican Party’s elected leadership decided to disregard, disrespect, and betray Georgia Republican voters yesterday by qualifying Brad Raffensperger as a Republican for Governor, despite the Georgia Republican Party (“GRP”) convention delegates, representing all Georgia Republicans, passing a motion prohibiting the party from doing so.

If you want your opinion heard on this, or want to be on record in your opposition: click here.

This so-called “leadership” apparently decided that it is perfectly fine for the Republican Party to falsely advertise Brad Raffensperger as a Republican, and to disregard the delegates that represent all of Georgia’s Republican voters who had decided that Raffensperger should not get to hurt our party’s name and brand by falsely associating with us.

As stated in our last message, the point of the Republican Party is to enact its platform, something Brad Raffensperger has proven in the past he will not do. Our current party “leadership”, however, appears to be silent and complicit in allowing our platform to be disregarded by people like Raffensperger, and happy to disregard our resolutions themselves.

Keep track of anyone silent about this, or claiming that the party is powerless, and make sure they don’t get elected or re-elected to party office.

If it weren’t so appalling, the justification(s) being made by the loud sycophants to the paid political industry would be comical. They state that “resolutions aren’t binding”, which proves that the paid political industry sycophants are incapable of reading.

Roberts Rules of Order (12th ed.) which governs the party according to our by-laws, states in sections 4:4 and 10:13 that a resolution is simply a written motion. Motions that direct action are obviously binding on the body that passes them, while those that simply state an opinion are not. This resolution directed the party to not qualify him, yet they did so anyway.

A few others claim that “state law” is a reason to allow the government to violate the First Amendment, ignoring the copious Supreme Court and 11th Circuit Federal cases that state the obvious: state law doesn’t beat the U.S. Constitution. One small clip from the ongoing Catoosa County case (the entire 11th circuit interlocutory decision attached), which also shows either the paid political industry’s stupidity or maliciousness in making this argument:

“That state law may prevent the Catoosa GOP from excluding primary candidates for ideological reasons, though, simply shows that its right to freedom of association has been burdened. It does not negate the right. After all, a political party’s constitutional right to exclude, “central to its freedom of association,” is not derived from state law. Wash. State Grange v. Wash. State Republican Party, 552 U.S. 442, 445, 128 S. Ct. 1184, 170 L. Ed. 2d 151 (2008).”

This leaves no room for interpretation: current party leadership wants you, and therefore the party, to be and stay powerless. They want you to support whoever buys the primary election, even if those people are repugnant to your values, and are making the party look bad and causing Republicans to lose votes.

The only way we are going to fix this problem is by ensuring that party leadership actually believes in, supports, and will fight for your voice being heard. Ensuring that if you, and other representatives of the Republican Party determine that a politician isn’t upholding the platform, that they don’t get to undermine the brand by stealing your hard work in the Republican Party and by falsely claiming to be like you.

While some are apparently contemplating legal action against the GRP leadership for this betrayal, this would likely not advance the main goal: getting our platform enacted.

Therefore, we must do two things: (1) ensure the best candidates are our nominees on the November ballot, such as through the GRA which is holding an endorsing convention; and (2) figure out who else is infuriated by this betrayal or, at the very least, believes that the Republican Party’s members have an obligation to define the platform and ensure that only candidates who will advance it are on the ballot, so we can work together to strengthen the party

The Republican Party: Principles not Politicians

March 1, 2026 by Alex Johnson in Issues

What is the Republican Party for?

Not just “getting Republicans elected.” That’s a means, not the mission.
The mission is bigger — and simpler: to enact a party platform that strengthens our constitutional Republic. Elections are one of the tools we use to get there.

When we forget the mission, the label gets hijacked.

For years, we’ve been sold a toxic idea:

“A Republican is whoever wins a Republican primary.”

That lie turns the principled party into a ballot-access method and reduces grassroots volunteers to cheerleaders for a word, instead of guardians of a platform.

But people don’t join the GOP to worship a label. They join because they believe certain principles, like those reflected in historic GOP platforms and advocated by the Georgia Republican Assembly (https://www.georgiara.com/), are best for Georgia and America.

A party must define its standards and brand or someone else will. You’ll often hear the Establishment lie that the party needs to be “neutral” before the primaries to “help the party” and not take a side. You are one of the ones that pay attention to the politicians, and have been involved in the party: you need to take a side and to lead.

The only reason the Establishment wants you to remain neutral/silent is because they know that you and the party can counteract their money and expenditures when you take the side of principle. The political industry doesn’t lie and demand your neutrality to help the party: they do it because they are afraid of the party actually standing for its platform.

Political parties exist to stand for something. Candidates are not entitled to use the party’s reputation if they won’t honor the party’s principles once in office or support the party between elections to educate the public on the platform.

When the party refuses to set standards and to lead, here’s what happens:
    •    Primaries become shopping malls for ambition and money.
    •    Consultants and vendors (part of the “Paid Political Industry“) profit from bigger fields and bigger spending.
    •    Wealthy interests buy influence — and voters get stuck “supporting the nominee” (“the lesser of two evils“) no matter what.

That’s not unity. That’s surrender.

Georgia can prove a point: the party can draw lines.

Georgia Republicans have taken formal steps to say: you don’t get to attack the party and still wear its jersey.
• The Georgia Republican Party’s State Executive Committee adopted a resolution expelling former Lt. Gov. Geoff Duncan (Jan. 6, 2025). He’s then started running as a Democrat.
• Delegates at the 2025 Georgia GOP convention adopted a resolution prohibiting the GAGOP from qualifying Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger under the GOP banner going forward.

Whether so-called “leaders” are afraid of litigation is a separate question but the principle is correct: the Republican name should not be “for rent” by those who don’t believe in our platform.
The grassroots should define the platform and defend it. We gain more voters by getting others to understand and believe in the platform.

The platform is supposed to be written by Republican citizens, through conventions. The platform should not be by donors, not by lobbyists, not by consultants, and not by backroom pressure.

And once that platform is set, the party should have the courage to say:
    •    If you support it, run with us.
    •    If you won’t, run as an Independent or under another label — but don’t mislead voters by stealing ours.
What you can do right now
    1    Read the principles of the Georgia Republican Assembly and applying to join: www.GeorgiaRA.com
    2    Share this message with friends who care about politics and the party’s future
    3    Get involved in the convention process next year: that’s where the platform is created and protected.

The party exists to serve the people — not politicians, not the political industry, and not the highest bidder. We need the party to stand for basic Republican principles and the politicians work to get those principles enacted.

Let’s make it happen.

If you agree the Republican label should mean something, please forward this to one principled friend today.

Raffensperger Attempts To Whitewash His Record by Persecuting GRA President

February 28, 2026 by Georgia Republican Assembly in Government / Issues

Just one week before candidate qualifying, where Brad Raffensperger must appear before the Georgia Republican Party and should legally be denied a place on the Republican primary ballot, due to his unethical, un-Republican record of governance, the Secretary of State, now candidate for Governor, has published false and misleading accusations against the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) President Nathaniel Darnell as well as a hefty fine in relation to the sudden collapse of First Liberty Building and Loan.

The order makes no mention of the fact that Nathaniel’s family are victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme awaiting restitution from the appointed Receiver.

“Nathaniel really believed in First Liberty and we all trusted the Frosts,” said Patricia Darnell, Nathaniel’s Mother. “When we lost our investment, that was Nathaniel’s inheritance. He wouldn’t have intentionally lost his own inheritance if he had known what they were doing.”

“I can’t tell you how it breaks a mothers heart to see her son falsely accused like this.”

Alex Johnson, GRA Chairman says this fact “is conveniently ignored by Raffensperger’s office’s independent and misleading attacks on Mr. Darnell with unproven claims in Raffensperger’s filings/correspondence.”

Nathaniel was unaware that First Liberty was allegedly operating a Ponzi scheme at the time he innocently made referrals to his clients who he in good faith believed could be well served and benefited by their loan agreements. This is why he trusted First Liberty enough to recommend them to his own family members. For years, he saw First Liberty faithfully pay their interest payments on time, just like previous customers had testified to Nathaniel they had for them.

*One of the emails ignored in the order*

Raffensperger has in his possession numerous emails and texts from First Liberty employees to Nathaniel showing — in writing — that Nathaniel was misled and deceived about their loan agreements, yet Raffensperger chooses to ignore this evidence of Nathaniel’s innocence.

“Since at least 2021, the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) has been opposed to Mr. Raffensperger lying to voters by attempting to qualify for elected office as a Republican,” said Johnson. “Last year, GRA members and other good Republicans successfully supported a motion within the GA GOP that prohibits the Republican Party from qualifying him as a Republican.”

“I have massive respect for Nathaniel Darnell,” wrote Ray Blankenship, a Republican volunteer activist in Northwest Georgia. “We all know that Nathaniel had been working for years to bring attention to Raffy’s Democrat tendencies and his Resolution was passed in the STATE CONVENTION to keep Raffy from having our most beloved ‘R’ by his name. I guess when you get a target on your back, you must be over the target yourself. Praying for Nathaniel’s sweet family.”

The GRA has been openly critical of Raffensperger’s record since 2020 and Nathaniel is not only a representative of the organization, but was one of the delegates at the microphone urging the passage of the resolution to ban Raffensperger at the 2025 Georgia GOP Convention. He even made the motion on the floor to adopt the resolution. Secretary Raffensperger has an inherent conflict of interest in his relationship to the GRA President, a conflict that Nathaniel’s attorney Doug Gilfillan formally objected to in December.

“The administration of the law . . . should, like Caesar’s wife, be above suspicion, and should be free from all temptation, bias, or prejudice . . . .” Nichols v. State, 17 Ga. App. 593, 87 S.E. 817, 821 (1916). The involvement in state action by a public official laboring under a personal conflict of interest like Secretary Raffensperger’s conflict here is improper. As a result, Secretary Raffensperger should have recused himself in this matter from any activity, participation, and decisions under O.C.G.A. § 10-5-71, pursuant to which his office is conducting this investigation.

Article I, Section II, Paragraph I of the Georgia Constitution (1983) provides that, “[a]ll government, of right, originates with the people, is founded upon their will only, and is instituted solely for the good of the whole. Public officers are the trustees and servants of the people and are at all times amenable to them.” See https://sos.ga.gov/sites/default/files/2022-02/state_constitution.pdf. The Supreme Court of Georgia has held that this provision enshrines the principle that “[a]ll public officers, within whatever branch and at whatever level of our government, and whatever be their private vocations, are trustees of the people, and do accordingly labor under every disability and prohibition imposed by law upon trustees relative to the making of personal financial gain from the discharge of their trusts.” Crozer v. Reichert, 275 Ga. 118, 121 (2002) (quoting Georgia Dep’t of Hum. Res. v. Sistrunk, 249 Ga. 543, 547 (1982)). Georgia courts have applied this provision to disqualify public officials where a public official is alleged to have even an indirect financial benefit. See Vickers v. Coffee County, 255 Ga. 659 (1986) (commissioners’ selection among alternative tracts of land for sale to county invalidated because selection of a different site might affect adversely value of property owned by voting commissioner); Wyman v. Popham, 252 Ga. 247 (1984) (allegations of indirect financial interest on the part of two commissioners required hearing to determine validity of commissioners’ vote); Olley Valley Ests., Inc. v. Fussell, 232 Ga. 779, 784 (1974) (“The question the superior court must answer is whether, under all the evidence, Commissioner Smith had a direct or indirect financial interest in the outcome of the zoning vote-an interest which was not shared by the public generally, and which was more than remote or speculative.”). There is a financial connection between the Secretary’s political activities, his campaign for Governor as a Republican (both of which clearly implicate his personal financial interests), and the First Liberty matter.

Attorneys are questioning the constitutionality of the Secretary’s order for attempting to impose a significant fine when there has been no jury trial. Brad Raffensperger has acted as both judge and jury in this matter.

False Accusations Against Nathaniel

Raffensperger falsely claims Nathaniel was “preying on investors,” but if someone in good-faith believed First Liberty was a legitimate business, as many people clearly did over the last 30+ years, offering a legitimate loan generating real interest that would benefit the investor, how could that be described as “predatory”?

*Former Insurance Commissioner Ralph Hudgens was one of many who recommended First Liberty to Nathaniel.*

Nathaniel believed he was acting in the best interests of his clients with the information he had at the time, and there was good faith basis for his beliefs, since First Liberty had been in business for about 30 years, and had been recommended to him by numerous people, including a CPA, businessmen, previous elected officials, ministry and church leaders, and even the past Insurance Commissioner of Georgia Ralph Hudgens. WSB radio host Erick Erickson even publicly advertised for them.

Raffensperger’s order implies that Nathaniel took in excessive pay. However, the rate offered by First Liberty was within the average for the financial services industry: 2 percent or less paid by First Liberty. It didn’t raise eyebrows and would not have incentivized anyone to knowingly participate in a fraudulent scheme. Nathaniel sought to follow his firm’s guidance by disclosing to them that he had started an outside business to raise capital, and to work with other businesses that were raising capital, for a real estate venture. All funds from First Liberty went to that business, which finally raised enough to build their family’s first active rental property.

*Archived screenshot from First Liberty’s old web site*

Raffensperger reveals his bias and his conflict of interest in this severe order that ignores facts and evidence that prove Nathaniel is one of the many deceived victims of the alleged Ponzi scheme. Furthermore there are numerous people who were more closely involved with First Liberty than Nathaniel, such as employees of the business, who have not yet received any punishment from Raffensperger at all. Brad Raffensperger refuses to accept the possibility that there were any honest or innocent explanations for Nathaniel’s actions.

This situation raises questions, such as:

(1) Since First Liberty advertised broadly on public radio and on their website for years, how did the Secretary of State’s office not discover the problems with First Liberty sooner?

(2) If Raffensperger, the SEC, and the IRS all were clueless about anything being amiss at First Liberty, how do they expect Nathaniel to have known?

These false accusations against the GRA President issued the week before candidate qualifying seem to be a pathetic attempt to help Raffensperger regain the respect of Republican voters who have seen his failures and lack of interest in election integrity.

UPDATE: Now you can help support Nathaniel’s legal defense at GiveSendGo!

Now It’s Raffensperger’s Turn

Now all eyes are watching to see what will happen when Brad Raffensperger shows up to try and qualify to run as a Republican candidate for Governor. The resolution passed at the 2025 convention stated: “the Georgia Republican Party shall not qualify, allow to be qualified, or take any action to allow Brad Raffensperger to qualify as a Republican or run for any elected office unless and until a GAGOP convention removes this restriction…”

Politicians are threatened by parties exercising their freedom of association rights. It is therefore likely that the exorbitant fine and penalties Raffensperger’s office is attempting to impose on Nathaniel was carefully timed to discredit the GRA, and to make GOP volunteers too scared to follow through on the directive of the convention body.

“We hope that all victims of the alleged ponzi scheme receive justice and are fully compensated, while the political industry opportunists like Mr. Raffensperger cease trying to trick voters into thinking they are entitled to Republican votes, support, or ballot access,” said GRA Chairman Alex Johnson.

GRA Chairman Calls Out Brad Raffensperger’s Misleading Attacks Against GRA President

February 26, 2026 by Alex Johnson in Government / Issues

“Since at least 2021, the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) has been opposed to Mr. Raffensperger lying to voters by attempting to qualify for elected office as a Republican. Last year, GRA members and other good Republicans successfully supported a motion within the GAGOP that prohibits the Republican Party from qualifying him as a Republican.

“It is my understanding that Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA) President Nathaniel Darnell’s own family was victimized by the alleged ponzi scheme by First Liberty, which is conveniently ignored by Raffensperger’s office’s independent and misleading attacks on Mr. Darnell with unproven claims in Raffensperger’s filings/correspondence.

Did YOUR district GOP leadership just choose Raffensperger over the GOP platform?

February 17, 2026 by Alex Johnson in Issues

As you can see in the image above, the people wishing to destroy the GAGOP and lead us into irrelevance are finally revealing themselves, as they know they are losing control.

Four district parties are deciding to support the philosophy that helps Brad Raffensperger and others like him controlling your state and ruining our Republican Party.

In our last e-mai l, we made it clear the recent action by the GAGOP in allowing the RNC to potentially support a candidate for governor showed the clear and logical philosophy that the Republican Party’s number one goal must be to get its platform enacted into law, and to do so by getting candidates elected who will actually enact the platform.

The GAGOP actually taking a stand regarding candidates is extremely similar to the GAGOP’s past action in b anning Geoff Duncan from running as a Republican (leading him to run as a Democrat this time), and the vote to ban Raffensperger from running as a Republican this year (which would be a logical extension of the party allowing RNC support for Burt Jones in Georgia).

In essence, the Republican Party/GAGOP is making it clear we are not a tool to be bought and sold by the political industry or whatever candidate thinks they can pay enough money, to trick enough voters, to get ballot access in November. The GAGOP must set the platform and standard, to maintain the brand, and ensure that our nominee in November is going to actually enact the party’s platform when elected. Which includes allowing the RNC to support a favored candidate. Or blocking Raffensperger from the primary ba llot as the delegates demanded.

In response to this positive philosophical decision, the 8t h, 10t h, and 12th distric t Republican party leadership decided to reject the grassroots and publicly declare their support for Brad Raffensperger with resolutions demanding that the party always maintain neutrality and “follow the primary voters”. As this was being drafted, the 9th distric t passed a similar resolution as well.

At least one of the resolutions falsely claims that “maintaining strict institutional neutrality in contested primaries protects grassroots participation”, even though, ironically, many of these people were opposed to Trump, opposed to the GRA, wanted to drive off the scores of people involved due to election integrity, and refuse to have the party do anything different to regain relevance.

They passed these misleading resolutions while falsely claiming to suddenly go from being politicians’ sycophants to being “grassroots”, knowing fully well that almost all primary voters do not even know the GAGOP exists, that almost all primary voters do not know how to be involved with the GAGOP, and that almost all primary voters falsely believe that the GAGOP has more requirements to run for office as a Republican than simply falsely claiming to be a Republican and paying some money.

A Record of Moral Courage – How Colton Moore Won the Loyalty of the Grassroots

February 14, 2026 by Abigail Darnell in Election / Government / Issues

Over the last several weeks people have been amazed by the overwhelming organic groundswell of support behind Colton Moore’s race for Congress in the 14th District. Some are at a loss to explain the army of unpaid volunteers willing to knock thousands of doors across a massive district that ranges from the Tennessee border to the suburbs of Atlanta.

With 15 Republican options, why is there so much overwhelming enthusiasm for Colton Moore?

I believe it is due to his consistent record of moral courage — a rare quality in politics. A brief examination of recent history and his voting record as a State Senator makes this clear.

While serving in the Georgia legislature Colton Moore:

• Voted “No” to Georgia’s crony bloated state budget that included corporate welfare.

• Sponsored SB 303 to establish election integrity by implementing paper ballots for Georgia elections.

• Was the only Republican Senator to vote “No” to a bill (SB144) giving pesticide makers (like Monsanto) legal immunity if their product harmed consumers.

• Stood up for the lives of babies conceived via IVF, and was the only Republican to vote “No” to the unethical In Vitro Fertilization (IVF) bill that gave IVF companies a “right” to commodify the lives of innocent children without any pro-life ethical boundaries.

• Was the only Republican Senator to vote “No” to HB 268, an outrageous bill that included massive government overreach into the lives of public school students.

• Sponsored a Second Amendment bill, SB 204, this year and was the lead sponsor of the Second Amendment Preservation Act (SB 67 in 2023) and fought hard to protect the rights of gun owners.

When Fani Willis was unjustly persecuting President Trump and the alternate electors, and when most of Georgia’s elected officials remained silent, Colton Moore called for a special session to investigate her and defund her office for its unjust politically motivated law-fare.

Moore’s defense of Trump as a State Senator drew national attention and attracted the praise of the President.

“Highly respected Georgia Senator Colton Moore deserves thanks and congratulations for having the courage and conviction to fight the radical left lunatics,” said Trump.

Moore sponsored legislation called the “Stop Political Persecutions Act” to reform Georgia’s RICO law to make sure it could no longer be abused against one’s political opponents.

These efforts led to his being featured on the Charlie Kirk podcast.

*Click to listen to State Sen. Colton Moore on the Charlie Kirk Show.*

Charlie Kirk, who last year was assassinated for speaking truth on college campuses, said to Colton on his show, “Colton, you have courage, and we appreciate you!”

In 2020, when Northwest Georgia exploded with the second amendment sanctuary movement, where local activists worked with local municipalities to pass resolutions supporting the second amendment and resolving to protect the gun rights of citizens, even if the federal government attempted to strip them away, Colton Moore was right there supporting his constituents. He attended and spoke at the second amendment sanctuary rally in Armuchee in February 2020 as then Representative Moore giving moral support and legitimacy to the activists’ cause.

When Roe v Wade was overturned in 2022, and pro-life advocates in Georgia were clamoring for immediate action to protect innocent pre-born children from abortion, Colton Moore was one of the few legislators that participated in the series of pro-life rallies hosted by the Georgians Ending Abortion coalition. Most legislators avoided the issue and acted like it was business as usual – nothing to see here, despite the corpses of roughly 30,000 dead Georgia babies accumulating each year and the Dobbs decision giving individual states the green light to abolish abortion if they chose. Colton Moore stood out.

When there appeared to be evidence of fraud in the 2020 election, and Georgia officials failed to investigate, certifying the election in spite of valid concerns of fraud, on Dec 4th 2020 Colton Moore called the election “a national embarrassment.”

Like many Republicans, Colton was outraged by the inaction of the Governor and Secretary of State. After 2020 a movement was launched to ditch dominion voting machines and return to paper ballots, hand-counted at the precinct level to deter cheating, and ensure there was a paper trail that could be followed and audited in the event a future election was ever questioned. Sen. Colton Moore was responsive to this grassroots movement, drafting legislation (SB 303) to implement paper ballots. In September 2023 he was one of the very few legislators who participated in an election integrity rally held at Liberty Plaza outside the Capitol, publicly affirming the concerns about fraudulent elections.

In 2024, when 300 or so activists at the 14th Congressional District GOP convention passed a resolution calling for ethical boundaries for In Vitro Fertilization (IVF), Colton Moore listened. The next year a bill came to the State Senate that enshrined a “right to IVF” and Senator Colton Moore was the only Republican in the legislature to vote “no” in accordance with the expressed will of hundreds of his constituents on that issue.

In March 2024 when the Catoosa GOP began exercising their right to freedom of association by denying fake Republican commissioners a place on the “R” primary ballot, resulting in a lawsuit and a fierce onslaught of negative publicity, Colton Moore supported them with statements affirming their legal and constitutional right.

When Americans everywhere were concerned about open borders during the Biden administration and the outrageous numbers of illegal migrants in the U.S., Colton helped to expose the issue at the Atlanta airport, and was a staunch voice calling for a secure border.

While the Washington elite and the “powers that be” in Atlanta often seem out of touch and deaf to the concerns of the grassroots, Colton listens. He cares about the issues that matter to normal Republican families, and champions those issues for them.

In 2025 Colton sponsored the Anti-Corruption Act SB 378 which would end the use of taxpayer dollars to fund lobbying for government agencies, a shocking practice that left many taxpayers stunned that such a thing was ever legal and occurring under our noses.

Moore has served as Vice Chairman of the Georgia Freedom Caucus, the leading voice for sanity and real Republican policies at the Gold Dome.

The Georgia Republican Assembly endorsed Colton Moore by a vote of 90% at an endorsement convention of our members.

While individual GRA members may all have a specific pet issue on which Colton Moore earned their trust and respect, the common thread in his record is his ability to say “No” to the lobbyists, and to the RINO Republican caucus, so he can say “Yes” to his political principles and the people he serves.

Many Republicans agree that Congress needs a lot more people with a backbone – more Dave Ramsey and less spending and debt. More loyalty to constituents than lobbyists and foreign interests. More moral courage in the face of pressure and manipulation.

“Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.”
– Robert Kennedy

If moral courage is the need of the hour, Colton Moore fits the bill, and the enthusiasm of his grassroots supporters for the March 10th special election is not at all surprising.

If you live in Whitfield, Catoosa, Chattooga, Dade, Floyd, Murray, Walker, Paulding, Polk, or the northwest part of Cobb county, consider joining us in supporting Colton Moore in the March 10th Special Election to replace Marjorie Greene. Early voting begins Monday February 16th.

F.B.I. Presents Warrant & Seizes Evidence from 2020 Elections in Fulton

Union City, GA – In a surprising shake up on Wednesday, the FBI executed a search warrant at the Fulton County elections warehouse at 5600 Campbellton Fairburn Road in Union City, Georgia. They reportedly seized approximately 700 boxes of election materials associated with the 2020 General Election.

GRA-member Salleigh Grubbs appeared on the scene with fellow Georgia State Board of Elections member Dr. Janice Johnston to observe the investigation, but were denied access by Fulton officials.

“We are very thankful to see the FBI here,” said Salleigh Grubbs. “They’ve had a forklift going in and out and now they have brought in what appears to be a mobile command center for the FBI.”

“All we want is fair elections,” said Grubbs. “That’s all we are asking for. This is a non-partisan issue. This is about free and fair elections in the United States of America.”

The warehouse containing the election records is massive, roughly 600,000 square feet.

“The best I know, the documents are contained in about 700 boxes,” said Dr. Johnston. “We have no other choice than to recommend that all 700 boxes be removed and taken out of the hands of Fulton County so that we can look for the documents that we’ve been looking for for years and have been unable to get Fulton County to provide or produce or even try to find.”

Johnston has requested a subpoena from Fulton County for the records back in October 2024, a request that has been met with repeated obstruction until now.

“We are looking for those tabulator tapes, we are looking for numbered voter lists, we would like to know who was eligible to vote for the 2020 election. We are looking for documents to prove that actual ballot boxes – that they claimed produced thousands of votes – were actually real ballot boxes,” said Johnston.

“The whole purpose of this is to look for areas of inconsistency and irregularities, to understand what happened, if it did happen, so it will not happen in future elections. That is the point of the State Election Board’s investigation and participation in this.”

GRA Election Integrity Action Group Chairman Jason Frazier, who recently produced a viral video exposing thousands of voter irregularities in Fulton county, was also at the scene along with Garland Favorito of VoterGA, who sued Fulton County back in 2021 and has long-awaited this day.

“We just want clean voter rolls, clean elections, and whoever wins wins,” said Frazier. “They don’t want us to see the ballots, they don’t want us to see the ballot envelopes, they don’t want us to see who voted, they don’t want us to see the voter rolls: they don’t want us to see anything!”

The lack of cooperation from Fulton officials has only heightened suspicions. If everything was fair and honest, why not allow an inspection of the ballots? What do they have to hide?

This is a huge victory for the dedicated grass-roots volunteer citizens across Georgia who have been calling for election integrity reform in the state, including Garland Favorito, Jason Frazier, and Phillip Davis and many others.

On Thursday, State Senator Greg Dolezal (R-Forsyth) took to the well of the Senate to address this shocking development. “Let’s stop this charade of ‘the most perfect, most secure election in history,'” he said. “It’s darn near past time for Fulton County to clean up their voter rolls!”

The DOJ sued Fulton County last month seeking access to ballots related to the 2020 election. The county is fighting the lawsuit, saying the DOJ has not made a valid argument for accessing them.

“Under Georgia law, ballots are typically destroyed after two years,” said GRA-member and former GA GOP Chairman David Shafer. Shafer was subjected to “law-fare” for years after the 2020 election as an alternate elector. “But thanks to a lawsuit filed by Garland Favorito, Caroline Jeffords and others, the Fulton County ballots from 2020 were preserved. It appears that we will finally get answers.”

Joseph Rossi and Kevin Moncla also deserve special appreciation due to their relentless contributions to the investigation. Under the Biden administration, the FBI persecuted Moncla in late 2023 for daring to question Georgia’s 2020 election. According to Moncla, “Fulton County unlawfully failed to preserve the ballot images for all in-person voting.” Despite Republicans being in power in Georgia, no one in the state would cooperate with Johnston’s subpoena so Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon with the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice sued for the same records on October 30, 2025.

“It’s a uni-party. The Republican establishment and the Democrat establishment work together,” said Garland Favarito.

The GRA exists to combat the uni-party, because RINO governance and public policy is equally as harmful to Georgia families as Democrat governance.

“We still have challenges in obtaining cooperation from the Secretary of State’s office,” said Dr. Johnston.

Rossi’s presentation at the January 21, 2026 State Election Board meeting was eye-opening. His presentation cited longstanding discrepancies documented in the complaint and argued that unresolved issues from SEB2021-181 and subsequent investigations could undermine public confidence if left unexamined.

Notably, in spring 2022 Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger admitted Fulton County scanned ballots twice.

GRA members are delighted by this move on the part of federal investigators and are hopeful that the public will finally get answers to their lingering suspicions about what really happened in Fulton County in 2020.

GRA members are encouraged that their efforts have not been in vain. The many hours spent attending long meetings of the State Election Board, the election integrity rallies, the press conferences, the hours spent examining election processes and voter rolls, the GOP conventions that passed election integrity resolutions, the citizen advocacy at the Capitol – all of these efforts combined to create the public awareness of Georgia’s election integrity problems and finally attracted the attention of federal authorities who are willing to investigate.

We are no longer a small voice crying in the wilderness. Election integrity activists finally feel heard, and the vindication is sweet. GRA members continue to organize and collaborate together to bring about constructive reform to Georgia government, knowing that we are stronger together when like-minded patriots are connected across the state. We are indeed the “Republican wing of the Republican party” and we look forward to watching this investigation unfold.

Transparency + Accountability Win Elections!

December 19, 2025 by Alex Johnson in Issues

We’re disappointed to see Democrats win races we should never be losing — but we’re also grateful for the Republican victories that were secured.

Here’s the honest takeaway:

When grassroots conservatives show up early, organize locally, and stay involved between elections, we win.
When we don’t, the Left fills the vacuum — and we all pay the price.

So no doom-and-gloom today. Just determination.

Below are FOUR important updates (a quick read), plus simple action steps to take right now.

THE GA GOP “SURVEY” LINK WAS PULLED, RE-POSTED — AND RESULTS WERE RELEASED WITHOUT THE REAL SUBSTANCE

In response to our last email, the “advisory committee” that published the survey took it down and replaced it with a new link.

Initially, I believed the purpose of the survey was to gather information to help the elected State Committee do its job between conventions, so issues could be debated at multiple business meetings with full discussion.

But the survey was taken down to avoid hearing your thoughts/opinions. And results were later released WITHOUT the written commentary that actually explains WHY ideas are good or bad (here is the link to the “results”), and what the real impacts/drawbacks would be (such as those described, partially, in the last e-mail). Even worse, the last State Committee business meeting appeared to be shut down in a way that avoided discussion of issues State Committee members were trying to raise.

If we want better outcomes, we have to insist on transparent process — and refuse to be managed by “feedback” that’s reduced to first impressions and stripped of context.

GA GOP ENDORSED BY PUTTING OUT A MAILER SUPPORTING A CANDIDATE IN A CONTESTED FULTON COUNTY MUNICIPAL RACE — WITHOUT A VOTE — AND THAT’S A PROBLEM

Recently, the Georgia Republican Party endorsed in a contested Fulton County municipal race where multiple Republicans were running. This mailer from the Georgia Republican Party states:

“The Georgia Republican Party is encouraging citizens to support its endorsed candidates for statewide office, including the Public Service Commission, and to stay in engaged in local city elections… Make a plan to get out and vote to reelect John Bradberry.”

That’s the exact opposite of how you keep volunteers energized.

Compare that with the Georgia Republican Assembly (GRA):
• Members vote on endorsements.
• A 2/3 vote at an endorsement convention is required to earn endorsement.
• The process is driven by active grassroots conservatives — not backroom decisions.

When endorsements happen without buy-in, you alienate the very volunteers who knock doors, make calls, give money, and deliver margins — and that helps us lose elections.

2026 STATEWIDE PRIMARIES ARE ALREADY TAKING SHAPE — SLOW DOWN AND CHOOSE WISELY

Statewide primary races for next year have begun.

Good news: the GA GOP Executive Committee voted to ban Geoff Duncan from qualifying as a Republican — and he is now campaigning as a Democrat (where he belongs).

At the same time, Brad Raffensperger — despite a State Convention vote to ban him from qualifying as a Republican — is attempting to campaign as a Republican. Hopefully the GAGOP carries through and stands up for your rights by keeping him off the ballot.

Bottom line: don’t let anyone pressure you into early endorsements. Do your homework. Wait for proven, principled Republicans.

One of the best tools for cutting through the noise is seeing who GRA members vote to endorse at our endorsement convention early next year. If you want a vote in that process, and want to be a part of the only Republican group the liberals at the AJC *and* the GAGOP Establishment are continuously attacking, apply to join the Georgia Republican Assembly now:

GAGOP ASSISTANT SECRETARY RESIGNED — AND THE REPLACEMENT PROCESS NEEDS SUNLIGHT

GAGOP Assistant Secretary Ja’quon Stembridge resigned:

That position is being filled by a vote of the GAGOP Executive Committee later this month. We are told the top three finalists are being chosen TODAY, Friday, December 19, 2025, with voting beginning at 5:00 PM and ending at 9:00 PM.

Because there does not appear to be a clearly published, transparent process, you should immediately contact your Executive Committee members and tell them:
• if you want to run (and ask how to submit your name), and/or
• who you want them to vote for.

(As of December 17, the list we’ve seen of declared candidates is attached to this email here.)

ACTION STEPS (DO THESE ASAP)

Commit to doing your homework before the 2026 primaries — and don’t let insiders rush you.

If you’re tired of politics being done TO you instead of WITH you, then you already know what time it is.

Let’s organize. Let’s grow. Let’s win — and let’s earn it the right way.

GRA State Convention Passes Two Resolutions: Supporting Midwifery & Opposing Assisted Suicide

December 6, 2025 by Georgia Republican Assembly in events / Issues

Tunnel Hill, GA – Saturday the GRA State Convention overwhelmingly passed two resolutions. The first one opposed the concept of Physician Assisted Suicide which State Rep. Sharon Cooper (R-Cobb) considered in a hearing for her Public Health Committee earlier this year. This new program called “Medical Aid in Dying” would involve a patient receiving a lethal prescription from his or her physician. This is morally abhorrent and a slippery slope to non-voluntary lethal prescriptions, also known as euthanasia. Public campaign disclosures show that Rep. Cooper receives a good deal of financing from Big Pharma.

You can see the final version of the resolution, which the GRA membership passed here:

*Garland & Tamara Favorito speak at the convention.*

The second resolution passed affirmed support for the decriminalization of midwifery in Georgia. It stated: “GRA principles include support for free enterprise and the elimination of ‘intrusive government intervention in the marketplace’… and it is not the proper role of government to interfere or restrict a woman’s liberty to make decisions regarding where she gives birth or with whom she contracts to assist her in the birth of her baby[.]”

Many other states allow for midwives to practice freely, as they have successfully for the vast majority of human history all over the world, but in Georgia state law makes it very burdensome for midwives to be able to serve expectant mothers who wish to give birth at home rather than in a hospital. Once again, Big Pharma appears to want to maintain a corporate monopoly over this medical practice.
