Friend, it’s been a busy week, and it’s been a while since I’ve sent an email like this.

The Georgia General Assembly ended its special session yesterday. I’ve been back on the road today, and I wanted to share some thoughts on recent news. 

Chat GPT vs Ivy League Presidents

I’m sure you’ve seen a clip from this week’s disgraceful testimony by the presidents of Harvard, MIT, and Penn. 

If you haven’t, let’s just say they disgraced themselves and their universities. 

I asked ChatGPT the same question they were asked — if calling for genocide of Jews is considered harassment or bullying — and got a more humane answer than any of these elites offered. 

Georgia’s Rebound

President Biden wants to take credit for the few bright spots in our economy, like Georgia’s rebound from COVID. 

This week, the AJC sent him reinforcements, saying our state bounced back because of the federal wrong. What a ridiculous take. 

I called them on it — see more here.

County Governments

Spent this morning with the Association County Commissioners of Georgia, talking about our work to confront problems, solve them, and put consumers first. 

I recorded a quick video after our conversation that you can watch here or above.

One More Thing:

If you’re reading this, you probably got an email from me asking for money before the special session. 

I don’t like sending them, and I’m sure you don’t like reading them, but the fact of the matter is that campaign season never stops and the same goes for fundraising. 

We’re getting closer and closer to our overall fundraising goal for 2023, but obviously the window is closing.

If you can give at this time, I’d really appreciate it.

Thanks for your continued support!

John King

Georgia Insurance Commissioner

Commissioner John King got his start as a beat cop with the Atlanta Police Department. He worked various assignments, including Red Dog and Organized Crime, before joining the Doraville Police Department. Before becoming Chief of Police, he served as a Detective and Deputy Chief.

During his 17 years as Police Chief, Commissioner King tackled corruption, implemented community policing in at-risk neighborhoods, and cracked down on gang violence through early intervention programs at local schools.

In addition to his career in law enforcement, Commissioner King spent four decades serving in the U.S. Army National Guard — enlisting as a private and retiring as a major general.  

He deployed to Bosnia, Iraq, and Afghanistan  — earning the Bronze Star Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, El Salvador gold medal for achievement, meritorious service medals, and a NATO award along the way. Commissioner King retired from active duty in 2023.

As Georgia’s Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner, Commissioner King has disrupted the status quo, put Georgia families first, and held the powerful accountable. He was appointed by Governor Brian Kemp in 2019 and elected to a full term in 2022, making him Georgia’s first Hispanic statewide elected official.
