Georgians are facing record inflation, growing costs at the grocery store, and high prices at the pump, all due to a complete failure of leadership in Washington.

Our families deserve better, that's why I'm extending the suspension of the state gas tax.

In Georgia, it’s easy to vote and hard to cheat. That’s why we already have record turnout for this election! #gapol

He was also a champion for the history of this state as a longtime advocate for the Georgia Historical Society. I was proud to call him a friend and am saddened by his passing. My sympathy goes to his wife, Barbara, and their family. (2/2) @universityofga @UGAAthletics

Coach Vince Dooley was a leader who cared deeply about this state and its future. He spent his career building up young men of character to go onto greatness — both on and off the field. (1/2)

The Gang Prosecution Unit we created with the legislature this year is delivering quick and strong results. @Georgia_AG and his hardworking team are taking the fight to these criminals, and I look forward to more announcements like this under his leadership.

We have to be for something, and I'm for continuing to provide families relief from 40-year-high inflation and creating economic opportunities for ALL Georgians. #gapol #GAGovDebate

[Brian Kemp @BrianKempGA]

While we can't fix everything Washington has broken, I have taken action to deliver relief for hardworking Georgians:

✅ Suspended the state gas tax
✅ Returned $1 billion to taxpayers
✅ Signed the LARGEST income tax cut in state history
