DEBATE: Kemp Secures an Election Day Win

October 31, 2022

In tonight’s final Georgia gubernatorial debate, Governor Brian Kemp secured another term to serve Georgia families. While Kemp committed to continue fully supporting Georgia law enforcement, Abrams spent the debate deflecting from her record of supporting the radical defund the police movement.

Watch the highlights here…

 

Kemp: “We have the lowest unemployment rate in the history of the state. We have the most people ever working in the history of our state and we’re seeing economic opportunity in all parts of our state. People have opportunity in Georgia no matter their neighborhood or their zip code. We’ve been focused on strengthening rural Georgia. We’ve also fully funded our schools and given a well deserved, historic teacher pay raise.” 
Kemp: “But the point here is Ms. Abrams has said that she wants to defund the police, she wants to eliminate cash bail and have get out of jail free cards, she continues to serve on the boards of organizations like the Marguerite Casey Foundation that actually raises money and gives grants to organizations that support and promote the defund the police movement. There are 107 sheriffs across this state that are supporting my campaign because they know I will have their back.”

Kemp: “Ms. Abrams doesn’t want you to have a choice. She wanted to mandate the vaccines, she wanted to mandate masks. She sided with the national teacher’s union over you of getting your child back in the classroom. I have been fighting for you.”

Kemp: “She’s benefited personally from that running around and scaring people about suppressive votes and suppressive legislation. She filed suit, her group did file suit, four years ago, cost Georgia taxpayers six million dollars to defend senate bill 202 which an Obama appointed judge threw out on every single count. In 2018 when I was elected, we had the largest African American turnout in the country in our state and we’re seeing just now in the May primary we had record turnout for Republicans and Democrats and we’re certainly seeing that during early voting. Ms. Abrams pressure on major league baseball and woke corporate CEOs cost us the all-star game.”
