John,

I hope this note finds you and your family doing well and returning to some level of normalcy as our state and nation reopens.  The past three months have brought personal and financial devastation for so many, and our hearts go out to those who are have lost a loved one or are struggling.  We’ve also seen the very best of America – love of neighbor, resolve, innovation, and a strength of spirit that has always driven our nation’s exceptionalism.

Seeing the resiliency of our community has motivated me more than ever to be your fighter in Congress.  So, with the primary just around the corner on June 9, let me give you a quick update on the campaign.

Momentum continues as conservative leaders unite behind my candidacy.  The grassroots and get-out-the-vote efforts grow every day.  And, it’s all laying the foundation for a win on June 9 and winning in November.

“Complete and Total Endorsement” from President Trump

I am honored to receive President Trump’s endorsement and am humbled by his words of support and encouragement.  I look forward to working with our President in 2021 and doing all I can to be a strong representative for the people of GA-6!

Greeting Vice President Pence on Friday

What an honor to greet Vice President Pence as he departed Dobbins Airforce Base last Friday.  Yep, we were social distancing and shared an ‘elbow bump.’  The Vice President and his coronavirus taskforce have been doing incredible work, and he was in town to meet with Georgia elected officials and business leaders to see firsthand how Georgians are leading the charge on restarting our economy.

GA-6 is On the Radar!

House GOP Leader Kevin McCarthy and the National Republican Congressional Committee (NRCC) have named me, along with 14 other top candidates, to the NRCC’s high level of support – the “Young Guns.”  The Young Guns program supports Republican candidates across the country by providing resources to run winning campaigns against Democrat opponents. My elevation to this top level reflects the high likelihood that I can defeat Lucy McBath!

President Trump’s support – along with the support of Governor Kemp and so many local elected officials – the backing of Congressional Republican Leadership and Georgia’s House Delegation, and the highest designation with the NRCC sends a clear signal to Republicans nationwide that GA-6 is winnable and that I’m the right candidate to take it back. My immediate focus is winning the Republican primary on June 9, and then, we will take the fight to out-of-touch, out-of-sight Lucy McBath.

Rockin’ the Grassroots (virtually!)

The COVID crisis forced a bit of realigning and adjusting in campaigning, so we “zoomed” our way through trainings and workshops and loaded up apps for at-home campaigning. Since the beginning of April, the amazing volunteers and interns with Team Handel have made over 200,000 calls to voters across GA-6.

And, our volunteers have sent thousands of personal postcards!

Of course, with just under two weeks until Primary Day, it’s SIGN TIME!  So, Steve and I have been hitting the road to deliver signs to supporters in every corner of the district.  It’s a great way to catch up with voters and tour our amazing community . . . and the lack of traffic was pretty nice too!  Click here to get your Handel Yard Sign.

Endorsements, the grassroots ground game, our presence in our community = MOMENTUM.

Most importantly, though, it’s about strong leadership for GA-6.  More than ever, we need serious leaders with the experience to advance policies to rebuild our economy.  In Congress, I’ll put my experience to work – to create jobs, support our small businesses, advocate for our veterans, and fight for the issues that matter to you and your family.

If you have any questions about my campaign, my team and I are just a call or email away.  And, please be sure to vote on June 9 . . . we need to send a strong message to Lucy McBath and the Democrats . . . GA-6 is going RED in November.

As always, thank you for your support, confidence, and friendship!

Karen
