Holly McCormack, pro-choice Democrat, is running against Greene. Check her out and tell everyone you know. Marcus Flowers is also running against Greene and getting more press than Holly. I don’t know his politics. But I’m putting my money (literally) on Holly.

As far as I can tell, Flowers is the only one who has been posting state-wide ads and expressly calling Greene out. I don't know anything about McCormack. Flowers is African-American, a veteran, family man, ticks a lot of boxes for Democrats. However, I question if that very conservative region of the state--just to our west--is ready to vote for a Black representative (they elected Greene, after all, nota bene...), but we'll see. Greene still has a comfortable lead. Nobody there seems able to mount a solid opposition campaign against her. Here, we have our own extremist, Andrew Clyde, who is frequently allied with Greene on the wacko-meter (his campaign posters have an AK-47 under his name, as he's a gun dealer). I believe that this year's re-districting has put him in the district next to us--down toward Athens--but I'm not sure. Anyway, I voted last week, straight Democratic ticket!
So did I, Bruce. I was both happy and amazed to see how many women were on the Columbia County ballot. For so many years, there have been offices with no one but the incumbent (usually a man) running. Not that there’s anything wrong with men on the ballot, but the good ol’ boy quotient runs high here. When that happens in the general election, and it’s a solitary R on the ballot, I’ve been known to write in the name of one of my cats. 😂🐈
Glad you voted Democratic all the way. I’m a monthly supporter of McCormack. I get her emails. She’s proactive, but she may have trouble raising money because Flowers has been getting all the press. I think the media generally pays more attention to men of color running than a white woman but frankly, I’d prefer to vote for a pro-choice woman. Too bad the lawsuit against Greene to prevent her from running didn’t go anywhere.
