Oconee County, GA Politics

Here are some interesting percentages in the race for the House 117th race that effectively divided Oconee County.

Pub Notes

Tax Commissioner candidate Jennifer Riddle responds to the question from NewsTalk 1340 WGAU AM talk show host and moderator Tim Bryant about an opening statement after he read a statement from her opponent Pamela Lohr Hendrix, who was absent from the forum because of a vacation scheduled for a long time before the forum sponsored by the Oconee County Chamber of Commerce. Riddle works in the office in the basement of the Oconee County Courthouse while Hendrix is on the Tax Equalization Board and has run for Superior Court Judge unsuccessfully before. State Representative Doug McKillip has decided to force Georgia women to have government mandated child birth after being "born again" himself. No word as to whether he is allowed to change his mind after 20 or 23 or 26 weeks. Also no word as to whether the child birth mandate applies to females as young as 12 years old or as old as 69. He also claims to have discussed the restrictive reproductive bill after consulting an ...

I see State Representative Doug McKillip and his wife Mary walking around 5 Points almost every morning when I drive to work. I would well expect that this Republican primary race will contentious, expensive, and more like a sensational murder trial than a campaign. Here are a few opportunities to engage the process. Can you name five people in Oconee County in this district? I cannot without computer software. I know there is at least one Oconee County Chamber of Commerce debate tentatively beginning on 6:30 pm with the meet and greet portion and then with the Tim Bryant moderated event going from 7:30-9:00 pm Saturday, July 14th at North Oconee High School auditorium.
