There are few things I hate more than tracking the weather, but I do know we
may be hit hard with a rough ice storm. The Governor has already issued a State
of Emergency for Georgia, and I encourage you to pay attention to any of his
updates on Xhttps://x.com/GovKemp <[link removed]> or follow GEMA at
[link removed] <[link removed]>. Stay safe!



Here are a few updates:


Budget Week



While your Frontline team and many of your legislators have been at the
Capitol, no legislative days were used this week. Instead, it was “Budget
Week,” a series of hearings regarding the state budget. Passing a budget is the
sole constitutional obligation of the General Assembly, and it takes great
discernment to determine how to prioritize funding.



Please know that your Frontline team remained hard at work throughout the week
– meeting with allies and working to advance our legislative agenda.


A Big Victory for School Choice


This week, our Church Ambassador Network Director, Joseph, and I joined
Governor Kemp, Lt. Governor Burt Jones, and Speaker Jon Burns for a press
conference announcing Georgia’s opt-in to the provision in the Big Beautiful
Bill expanding school choice. We are grateful for President Trump and our
Georgia leadership for making this possible.Of note: Frontline supports
universal school choice. This is a great step, but we’re not done!

Run2Win Save-the-Date


Our annual Run2Win event will be held March 14th at The Sinclair Atlanta on
Roswell Rd. in Sandy Springs. Make plans to attend!


Middle Georgia Shows Strong



Liberal candidates have either been outperforming – or outright winning – in a
series of off-year and special elections throughout our state. This week, they
hoped to continue that trend in SD18.



Instead, five Republicans running generated over 63% of the vote, with three
(Steven McNeel, Eric Wilson, and former Frontline team member and State Rep.
Lauren Daniel) garnering the overwhelming majority of those votes.While this is
a strong right-leaning district and the Republican share is “as expected,” it
is encouraging to see Georgia conservatives standing up to out-of-state money
that flooded the district to elect a leftist.



Steven McNeel, who finished first among the Republicans, now heads to a runoff
election against LeMario Nicholas Brown, whose campaign touted a special
appearance from Sen. Josh McLaurin – a FAR Left candidate for Lt. Governor who
voted for taxpayer funded gender reassignment surgeries for prisoners.



Stay tuned.


Another Great Week for Church Ambassador Network


Our Church Ambassador Network team facilitated more than 20
shepherd-to-shepherd connections this week. If you’d like to encourage your
pastor to join our team at the Capitol, please connect him to Joseph D’Angelo at
[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>.


Correction



Last week, I mentioned that Rep. Soo Hong had been elected to House Majority
Caucus Chair. While I have no doubt she would be stellar in that role, I would
never mean to demote Rep. Bruce Williamson, a great conservative and ally who
is still in that role. Rep. Hong was elected Majority CaucusVice Chair to
replace outgoing (aka, heading to Congress), Rep. Houston Gaines. I wish I had
someone to blame for this mistake, but the fault is entirely mine 😊


More news to come next week.



God Bless,

Cole
