GA GOP Mornng Report

Today, Georgia’s House & Senate Redistricting Committees will convene to begin discussion and deliberation on the other chamber’s respective redistricting map. If approved by the committees, the maps will head to the House & Senate floor for full debate and, barring any setbacks, will then land on Governor Deal’s desk to be signed into law.



Also, it is expected that the proposed Congressional map will be released at some point this week – possibly as early as today. For updates as they become available, visit the Legislative and Congressional Reapportionment Office here.



In case you missed it last week, Presidential Candidate, and former Speaker of the House, Georgia’s own Newt Gingrich will be attending the GAGOP Fish Fry & Presidential Straw Poll this Saturday in Perry, GA. Reserve your spot by clicking here.

They Said It: Clearly deviating from her previous calls to dial back the incendiary rhetoric in Washington, D.C, Congresswoman Maxine Waters (D-CA) shared her opinion on bipartisanship, stating “I’m not afraid of anybody…And as far as I’m concerned – the Tea Party can go straight to hell.” Classy.
