https://flagpole.com/featured/2022/11/05/herschel-walker-calls-senate-race-a-spiritual-battle-at-athens-rally/

U.S. Senate candidate Herschel tried to out-preach a preacher during a campaign visit at the Classic Center on Saturday.

We’re in a Spiritual Battle,” the former Georgia Bulldogs runningback said about 200 Red-and-Black-clad supporters. “I got into this race as God wants a warrior, and not a politician,” Walker said. The Republican is locked in an tight race with Sen. Raphael Warnock. Warnock is the pastor at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta where Martin Luther King Jr. once preached. Walker accused Warnock, who wanted to talk about race, contrary to King’s advice that people should be judged based on their character. Walker gave a short stump speech in which he outlined a number of GOP culture war talking points. These included transgender athletes in women’s sports and the Keystone Pipeline. “We won’t recognise this country” if Democrats retain control of the Senate, Walker said. He urged his flock of voters to vote. “Vote for me, and I’ll help us all get to the promised land.”

As the

Atlanta Journal-Constitution recently noted, Walker has been using the language of white evangelicals on the campaign trail, talking about redemption and how God’s grace healed him of mental illness, which he blames for the domestic abuse and alleged abortions in his past.

Herschel is tapping into the faith community and using coded language to say to white evangelical voters, “Andra Gillespie, Emory University political scientist, said.

But Black faith leaders are sharply criticizing Walker, according to the New York Times.

They thought they would fool us by choosing someone who they thought would represent us better with a football rather than a degree in philosophy,” Jamal Bryant of New Birth Missionary Baptist Church, Stonecrest, said in a sermon. “They thought that we were so slow–that were so stupid-–that we would elect somebody who is educated, erudite, and focused Walker also referred to his football background and Vince Dooley, calling Democrats “the “C-team .” ” in a news release on Friday. Walker attacked Warnock for using a campaign van with a Tennessee license plate –Georgia’s opponent today.

Walker also reminded supporters of his relationship to Dooley, who passed away last month. He also linked to a TV commercial featuring Dooley’s endorsement.

University of Georgia students heading to the polls for this election may be casting votes for a candidate who shares their alma mater. Of the 32 candidates on this year’s ballot, 15 spent part of their academic career in Athens.

Here’s how 10 of these UGA alumni benefited from their education in their political careers and current campaigns.

Brian Kemp

Incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp was born in Athens, attended Clarke Central High School and then went to UGA where he studied agriculture. Kemp’s childhood friend and college roommate, Daniel Dooley — son of the late Georgia football coach Vince Dooley — said in an Oct. 21 Axios article that Kemp’s entrepreneurialism and drive was apparent in college. Daniel Dooley said Kemp would forgo parties in order to save money for his first investment property. This was a house he rented during his senior year.

Kemp’s political career began when he became frustrated with government, according to the Georgia Governor website. Although he didn’t have any prior experience, the UGA Library stated that his grandfather and father in law were both Democrats. He was first elected to the Georgia Senate in 2003 and served until 2007 before being appointed as Secretary of State by former Gov. Sonny Perdue. Kemp held this position until he ran to be governor in 2018,, which he is currently seeking reelection for.

Herschel Walker

Republican Senator candidate Herschel Walker attended UGA for three years, beginning in 1980, where he helped lead the Georgia Bulldogs to a 1981 Sugar Bowl win — thus securing a national championship title for the university. While at UGA, Walker broke 11 NCAA, 16 SEC and 41 UGA records as well as winning the Heisman trophy after his junior year, according to an ESPN article. Walker previously claimed to have graduated from UGA, although it has since been revealed he never completed his degree after leaving to pursue a professional football career in 1983. According to his campaign website, Walker played professionally for the New Jersey Generals, Dallas Cowboys, Minnesota Vikings, Philadelphia Eagles and New York Giants before retiring after 15 years.

Walker announced his bid for senator in August 2021, seeking to challenge incumbent Sen. Raphael Warnock.

Melvin England Mock Trial Competition. While in school, he worked for Mark F. Taylor’s 2006 gubernatorial campaign, James Marlow’s congressional race and Athens-Clarke County District Attorney Ken Mauldin.

According to Athens Politics Nerd, Bailey still works in the legal field as an attorney for Cook & Connelly, LLC. He was a former Fulton County Senior Assistant District Attorney. Bailey ran previously for the office of Attorney General in 2018,, but was defeated by Chris Carr, a fellow UGA alum.

According to an article from the Rockdale Citizen, Jones’ father, Bill Jones, served on the Georgia Senate from 1976-1984 as a Democrat. According to the article, UGA named Jones a Distinguished Alumni in 2014 and added him to the “40 Under 40” list. Jones has been a District 25 Representative since 2012.

Chris Carr

Chris Carr, the current Georgia Attorney General who is seeking reelection, studied business administration at UGA. He earned his bachelor’s in 1995 and earned his law degree in 1999.

Nathan Deal appointed him Attorney General in November 2016. He was reelected to a full-term as 2018..

Tyler Harper

After receiving his associate’s degree from Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College, Tyler Harper graduated from UGA with a degree in agricultural engineering, according to his campaign website.

He is now running for Agriculture Commissioner and recently hosted a tailgate at Reed Quad, outside of Reed Hall, before UGA’s homecoming game against Vanderbilt University on Oct. 15.

Houston Gaines

Houston Gaines received degrees in political science and economics from UGA in 2017, and was the UGA Student Government Association student body president during his senior year. The current District 117 state representative works at Carter Engineering and worked at the Cannon Financial Institute after his graduation, according to his website. After beating Deborah Gonzalez, the Republican candidate was elected to the 2018 state House. According to the SPIA website, Gaines is a member of the Alumni Board and a student mentor at UGA’s School of Public & International Affairs.

Marcus Wiedower

Leaked Gov. Kemp audio raises concerns about future of contraceptive access

https://www.redandblack.com/athensnews/leaked-gov-kemp-audio-raises-concerns-about-future-of-contraceptive-access/article_7c32dcbe-422a-11ed-af77-53c37a5ef81c.html

On Sept. 10, Gov. Brian Kemp attended a Georgia-Samford tailgate hosted by the University of Georgia College Republicans where he was recorded speaking about the logistics of potentially banning Plan B, an emergency contraceptive pill, in the state of Georgia.

The audio was leaked on Twitter five days later, resulting in Kemp trending nationally and thousands of people reacting to his comments. Now, questions and concerns have been raised about the future of contraceptives in Georgia.

In the audio between Kemp and an unidentified individual, the governor was asked about potentially banning Plan B since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned the constitutional right to abortion on June 24, leaving the decision up to the individual states. The right had been established since the ruling of Roe v. Wade on Jan. 22, 1973.

“You can take up pretty much everything,” Kemp said about potentially banning the pill in the audio. “You got to be in a legislative session to do that, and that’s not until January … just depends on where the legislators are.”

This conversation follows various challenges to women’s healthcare, including Georgia’s Heartbeat Bill that Kemp signed in 2019 and was put into affect on July 20. The bill bans abortions once a heartbeat is detected, which can be as early as six weeks.

Kemp’s reply to the student did not state whether or not he was in support of banning contraception, however with Election Day approaching, some Democratic lawmakers are urging voters to keep Kemp’s response in mind when heading to the polls.

Party stances

According to a press release from the Georgia Democrats, state lawmakers held a press conference on Sept. 19 to discuss the leaked conversation and what it suggests for the future of contraceptives within the state if he is re-elected.

“Kemp’s openness to banning forms of contraception should sound warning bells in the ears of every Georgian woman and every dad as we get closer to Election Day,” said Sally Harrell, Democratic District 40 state senator and co-chair of the Women’s Legislative Caucus.

Democratic District 42 state Sen. Elena Parent said access to forms of contraception is a fundamental right for women and it is crucial to allow all women, no matter their financial status or living situation, the right to control their own lives and futures.

Tate Mitchell, the press secretary for Kemp’s campaign team and a UGA alum, responded to the leaked audio conversation to help clear up what people may have interpreted from it.

“The Governor has never opposed access to contraception,” Mitchell said in a statement published by The Atlanta-Journal Constitution.

What’s at stake

The Committee to Protect Health Care released a statement on Sept. 20 in response to the leaked audio, discussing how some Georgia doctors feel about the possibility of contraception being banned by Kemp.

“As a physician and a Georgian, I’m deeply appalled that our governor wants to support legislation that would further restrict women’s rights,” said Dr. Haben Debessai, an OB-GYN in Atlanta, in the release. “Such new legislation could take away safe, common family planning contraceptives, including Plan B which prevents pregnancy and is not an abortion medicine. These acts will only serve to injure and gravely restrict the women of Georgia.”

The woman also told police that she owed over $6,000 to the IRS and was unaware of how she could owe that amount with only one job, the report said.

Storage rental units broken into

Four storage units at StayLock Storage were broken into on Oct. 6, according to a report from the ACCPD.

The managers informed ACCPD that units 85, 58 were broken into. The report stated that officers discovered that the locks had been cut off when they inspected the units.

The report stated that the locks were $15 each.

Man disputes smoke shop purchases

The owner of V**e & Smoke called ACCPD at approximately 2: 45 p.m. on Oct. 5 to report a series of thefts, according to a report from ACCPD. The owner of V**e & Smoke told police about four instances in which an unidentified man bought items, and then disputed the charges at a bank just a few days later.

This action removed money from the company’s account but the suspect kept the items he purchased, the report said.

Athens commission discuss Athens Justice and Memory Project, project developments

https://www.redandblack.com/athensnews/athens-commission-discuss-athens-justice-and-memory-project-project-developments/article_35c81aa4-4a6e-11ed-b42a-4b70bdaa82de.html

Representatives from several Athens organizations and projects presented the Mayor and Commission with recommendations and updates on items for future consideration at the Oct. 11 work session.

The insurance and contracting process for ACC

Jeff Hale, Human Resources Director for Athens-Clarke County, and James Westbury, Property and Liability Claims Manager at the Georgia Municipal Association, provided the commission with information on the risk management contract process and outlined contractual insurance requirements in a presentation at the meeting.

Westbury explained the process to emphasize the importance of contract review. This could pose a reputational risk. However, this is not the type of risk you should be thinking about when you enter into contracts with people and come up with contract requirements. Westbury stated that it is important to have a resource available in the event that a claim arises so that you can pay back the claim against someone other than the unified government.

The Athens Justice and Memory Project and Linnentown losses

Athens Justice and Memory Project co-chair and former Linnentown resident Hattie Thomas Whitehead and geography professor at the University of Georgia Jerry Shannon shared their presentation about the financial losses of former Linnentown residents with the commission.

Shannon described the impact of the urban renewal project, which both ACC and UGA participated in during the 1960s. She also explained the amount of monetary reparation owed to Linnentown’s former residents.

According to Shannon’s presentation and the findings from an analysis of underpayment and an estimated total lost appreciation, the losses add up to $5,022,375.

Whitehead then presented the breakdown of what both the university and ACC owe in reparations, with UGA and ACC owing approximately $2.5 million each.

Whitehead provided recommendations for ACC to allocate their half of the loss estimate, with $1. 25 millions of what the city-county unified government owes will go towards affordable housing, including down payments assistance and home repairs assistance. $1. 25 millions would be used to fund community education through the creation of the Athens Clarke County Center for Racial Justice and Black Futures.

After Whitehead’s presentation, the commissioners and mayor Kelly Girtz supported this plan.

After Jesse Houle, District 6 Commissioner, asked where UGA’s $2.5 million in reparations would go, Whitehead clarified the exact location and what projects these funds would be used for. Whitehead stated that if they were to come to the table, they would ask them to contribute to this [affordable housing] fund to help the community.

Various site expansions, funding and development

Representatives of Advantage Behavioral Health Systems discussed their request for expansion of their facilities to better provide the Athens-Clarke County community with mental health services.

Tammy Conlin (chief executive officer of Advantage Behavioral Health) and Evan Mills (Director of Development and Housing at Advantage Behavioral Health), explained how ARPA funds could be used to renovate the Athens property.

John Simoneaux (SPLOST Project Administrator) also updated the commission and mayor about the renovation of the Judicial Center. Simoneaux stated that the alternatives analysis was a way to explore creative options to bridge the gap between the project plan and the funds available.

The alternatives analysis revealed three options for modernizing the Judicial Center. The options analysis provided three options for modernizing the Judicial Center. They include a renovation of the existing courthouse, expansion of the existing courthouse on an adjacent right-of-way, and a phased building construction on a new site. The third option, which Simoneaux presented to the staff, is to continue the process of selecting a site for a new building.

Paul Cramer is the president of the Classic Center and requested that the development of a Hickory Street Parking Deck be added to the Tuesday agenda.

Cramer cited the benefits of a new parking deck in ACC as being wage enhancements, revenue increases and a three-way shared use of the deck.

The Clarke County Republican Party held their monthly meeting Monday night with special guests Congressman Jody Hyice, Rep. Houston Gaines, and Cshanyse Alle, president of Inner East Athens Neighborhood Association.

This meeting was their last before the Nov. 8 general elections.

The meeting started with Gordon Rhoden, CCRP chairman, playing Tom Petty’s “I Won’t Back Down”, into the microphone before he introduced Rep. Hice. Hice and Rhoden have been friends for over 20years, Rhoden stated. Hice was his pastor at a Bethlehem, Georgia church.

The congressman from Georgia’s 10th District spoke before the 50-odd crowd for the last time. Hice has been in his position since 2015,, but he lost his seat in primary when he ran against Brad Raffensperger for Secretary of State.

Watson called the BOE to find out what he was talking about. He called Gaines, who informed him that an adjustment had been made.

Rhoden also expressed his appreciation to Gaines.

” We would have been in big trouble if he hadn’t. One person is one person. Rhoden stated that all of us can work together to get things done. However, it’s difficult for each individual to do so.

The meeting ended with Cshanyse Alley, who discussed the District 2 vacancy since her organization sued the BOE.

Allen gave a list of open records she had obtained and expressed her anger at the fact that her district would be left unrepresented.
