HB 369, if signed by Kemp, will be one of the largest departisanizations of county government in US history (outside of states with top-two+ primaries).
Nonpartisan elections are usually reserved for school boards, city councils, and, to a lesser extent, judicial courts. #gapol

Two House Republicans backing Rick Jackson are accusing Burt Jones of bottling up their bills in retaliation for endorsing his GOP rival in the race for governor — amplifying Jackson’s claim that lawmakers fear blowback if they cross the LG. #gapol
