Georgia Politics, Campaigns, and Elections
Jackson County has 18 provisional ballots and two elections there were decided by a single vote, according to AccessWDUN.
The Jackson County Elections and Registration Office confirmed Wednesday afternoon that 18 provisional ballots have yet to be verified and counted. It is unclear in what precincts those ballots were cast or if all 18 will be eligible to be counted.
The ballots could prove significant, however, as municipal races in Jefferson and Pendergrass were decided by a single vote each on election night.
In Jefferson, former city councilwoman Dawn Maddox held a one-vote edge on incumbent Mayor Jon Howell for the mayoral race. The final tally Tuesday night showed Maddox with 1,278 votes and Howell with 1,277.
In Pendergrass, meanwhile, Tuesday’s final tally showed Kathryn Cooper Robinson edging out Terry May by a single ballot. Robinson had 82 votes with May having 81 at last count.
The Jackson County Elections and Registration Office is set to certify election results on Friday, with provisional ballots needing to be researched and counted, if eligible, by then.
United States Rep. Buddy Carter (R-SSI) volunteered at the Good News at Noon ministry in Gainesville, according to AccessWDUN.
Rep. for Georgia’s 1st Congressional District and senate candidate Earl “Buddy” Carter (R) volunteered at Good News at Noon amid the government shutdown.
According to a release from Carter’s team, he distributed clothes, toothbrushes, shoes, and other essentials.
“The Schumer-Ossoff government shutdown is harming individuals from all corners of Georgia. Families are missing out on paychecks, nutrition benefits, childcare opportunities, and more,” Carter said. “While our senators continue to use Georgians as political leverage, it’s important that folks get out in the community and serve their neighbors during this difficult time that Chuck Schumer, Jon Ossoff, and the Senate Democrats have inflicted on hardworking families.”
Good News at Noon Ministry shared the visit in a Facebook post, saying “Congressman Buddy Carter stopped by to help us sort some donations.”
The shutdown is due to the Democrats’ health care demands and an inability by both sides to come to an agreement on a continuing resolution.
It’s been reported that millions could face higher insurance premiums if health care subsidies expire at the end of the year.
At the local level, it’s been reported that some parks on Lake Lanier may close, and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) program will be partially funded for November. That’s a program roughly 14% of Hall County households rely on.
The shutdown is now the longest ever, surpassing the previous record set in President Donald Trump’s first administration.
Carter previously spoke to AccessWDUN in July as a crowded GOP field for May’s primary began to take form.
“We’ve really just started with endorsements,” Carter said. “We’ve been focusing primarily on fundraising. Endorsements don’t vote and they don’t buy commercials.”
Carter has raised over $4.5-million and spent over $3.6-million, making him the most well-funded candidate amongst the Republicans.
Fellow GOP candidates Rep. Mike Collins for Georgia’s 10th Congressional District has raised around $2.5-million and spent a little more than $700,000 and former University of Tennessee head football coach Derek Dooley has raised over $1.8-million and spent around $175,000.
“I’m the true conservative in this race,” Carter said back in July. “I’m the one who has supported Donald Trump in his first term and in his second term. Every statewide elected official in the state of Georgia is a Republican, with the exception of our two senators. Trump deserves someone from Georgia who’s going to support him in the Senate, Georgians deserve someone who’s going to support Donald Trump in the Senate, and I’m that someone who’s going to do that.”
Republican Derek Dooley campaigned in Statesboro, according to the Statesboro Herald.
Derek Dooley, experienced university football coach and athletic director, NFL assistant coach and originally but briefly a practicing attorney, is now campaigning for another position, the Republican nomination for U.S. senator from Georgia, hoping to sack Democratic incumbent Sen. Jon Ossoff in November 2026.
Campaigns for the May 2026 party primaries have been well underway in the fall of 2025, and Dooley on Oct. 30 stopped by the Herald for an interview while on a campaign visit to Statesboro.
“I’ve always been big on leadership,” Dooley said. “Of course, I watched my father serve this state for 50-plus years with a level of hard work and class and respect for everybody. Of course I worked for Nick Saban for nine years, he was like a mentor of mine, in some ways like a second father, and learned so much about leadership.”
Asked if the run for Senate was his own initiative or suggested by someone like Gov. Brian Kemp, who has endorsed him, Dooley said he was already thinking about leadership in terms of government when Kemp’s decision not to run for the U.S. Senate seat gave him an opening.
“This really began for me after COVID and during the last administration where I just felt like things were happening in our country I never thought I’d see in my lifetime, and in some ways I felt like our country was being driven off a cliff,” Dooley said, “and I was very frustrated with a lot of leadership that’s going on in DC … and I wanted to be a part of the solution of getting our country back, in a way that there’s not all this division and in a way that people have a lot of trust and confidence that the ones going up to DC are there for the right reasons.”
“So, when the governor decided he wasn’t going to run, that’s when I engaged with him and his team, to get my arms around what this would entail, because I knew there was a risk to it. I’ve had a great career. But then I also wanted to prove to him to get us over the finish line,” Dooley said.
About four months passed before Kemp publicly endorsed him, which Dooley called “a real big honor” but added that “the most important endorsement” would be from “the people of Georgia.”
Asking whether there is anything he wishes Kemp had done differently in two terms as governor or anything Trump would do differently now prompted a reply about the important question being “Is the ball moving forward?” but nothing critical of the governor or president.
Governor Brian Kemp honored Georgia veterans, according to WJBF.
Under the Gold Dome Thursday, Governor Brian Kemp and First Lady Marty Kemp honored Georgia’s veterans during a ceremony at the State Capitol.
State lawmakers, members of the Georgia National Guard, and the Georgia Department of Veterans Service also attended the event.
Governor Kemp said Veterans Day serves as a reminder of the debt we owe to those who’ve fought for the nation’s freedom.
Georgia is home to more than 700,000 veterans, and about 40% are over the age of 65. Lawmakers and the governor emphasized the need to do more to help veterans transition back into civilian life — including expanding access to mental health resources and preventing PTSD.
“Cutting red tape to ensure service members, veterans, and their families can find meaningful careers here in our state, and increasing funding for PTSD research and treatment, both during active service and long after our heroes have returned to civilian life,” said Governor Kemp.
Governor Kemp said Veterans Day should not only be a day of remembrance but also a call to action to better serve those who have served the nation.
President Dwight D. Eisenhower issued the first Veterans Day proclamation in 1954, changing the name from Armistice Day — which originally commemorated the end of World War I.
Veterans Day is next Tuesday, November 11, a federal holiday honoring all who have served in the U.S. Armed Forces.
Georgia Quick Start hosted a ribbon cutting at the Hyundai plant in Bryan County, according to the Savannah Morning News.
Georgia Quick Start held a ribbon cutting ceremony Wednesday for its new 89,000-square-foot training facility located at the Hyundai megasite in Ellabell.
The Hyundai Mobility Training Center of Georgia will serve as training grounds for Hyundai Motor Group Metaplant America employees, as well as its suppliers.
Gov. Brian Kemp, Technical College System of Georgia Commissioner Greg Dozier and Georgia Quick Start Deputy Commissioner Scott McMurray, among others, were on hand to give remarks.
During the ceremony, Kemp said this is not just another facility – it is one that will “impact the entire region.”
“Our communities have seen record economic development,” said Kemp. “This giant site represents all the factors that set Georgia apart. This training facility is a great reminder of our ongoing commitment so that more Georgians will benefit from the skills they learn here.”
“With record-breaking economic development statewide, our focus has never wavered from bringing quality jobs to hardworking Georgians and connecting them to the skills needed for success,” said Gov. Brian Kemp. “The Hyundai Mobility Training Center of Georgia will give thousands of people over the years the knowledge they need to benefit from this generational project.”
“The Hyundai Mobility Training Center of Georgia represents our commitment to investing in people as we continue to create high-paying American jobs,” said José Muñoz, president and CEO of Hyundai Motor Company. “As we expand production at (the Metaplant), one of the most advanced facilities in the world, we need a workforce equipped with the skills to build next-generation vehicles with next-generation production processes.”
Savannah Mayor Van Johnson delivered his “State of the City,” according to the Savannah Morning News.

Colquitt County voters approved a FLOST referendum, according to the Moultrie Observer.
Colquitt County residents voted “yes” to a Flexible Local Option Sales Tax (FLOST) at the November 4, special election by a large margin of 3,403 to 794.
They also voted to keep one Moultrie City Council member in office and elect two new councilmen.
FLOST will impose a 1% sales tax, for a period of five years, within Colquitt County. All of the proceeds are used exclusively to reduce property tax, dollar-for-dollar.
“It’s the first step in the direction of getting rid of property tax,” said County Administrator Chas Cannon.
This additional 1% sales tax brings the total sales tax up to 9%. When customers pay sales tax, 4% of it goes to the Georgia Department of Revenue. The other 5% goes to fund local governments and the school system through local option sales taxes.
Those sales taxes, in addition to the new FLOST are: SPLOST funds capital projects for the county, municipalities and some local authorities.
TSPLOST funds transportation projects for the county, municipalities and some authorities. ESPLOST funds capital projects for the school system. LOST funds operations of the Colquitt County School District.
The Municipal General Election for the City of Moultrie was for three council seats. In the District 1, Post 2 race, incumbent Margaret Mathis lost her seat to Cornelius Ponder III 101 to 233. In the District 2, Post 5 race, Tyler Mobley won the seat over Jerrell Anderson 647 to 270. In the District 3, Post 6 race, incumbent Wilma Hadley held onto her seat against Natasha Smith 78 to 24.

The measure has never failed since voters first approved it in 1997.
Turnout was 21 percent, with the measure earning 84,119 (69.45%) “Yes” votes and 37,002 (30.55%) “No” votes.
Republican Jim Steed was elected to the Columbia County Commission District 2, according to WRDW.
The Republican defeated Democrat Howard Johnson by 2,998 votes (54%) to 2,554 (46%) on Tuesday.
As Steed celebrated his win [], one of the main topics of interest in the community was the proposed data center project.
“I want facts. I don’t want speculations. I don’t want to make a decision based on speculation,” Steed said. “As a citizen, I just got what I heard. And I’m hoping that when I get in there I can delve into the facts and find out if it’s going to help Columbia County, I’m going to vote for it. If it’s going to hurt Columbia County, I’m going to vote against it. It’s all about what it’s going to do for Columbia County and the citizens in that area.”
Steed said he also wants to focus on helping people with fixed incomes and alleviating their tax burdens.
Lonnie Wimberly was elected Augusta City Commissioner to fill a vacancy representing District 4, according to WRDW.

James Shepherd was elected Mayor of Newnan, beating the incumbent and another challenger, according to the Newnan Times Herald.
Mayor-elect James Shepherd scored a decisive victory Tuesday, securing 44 percent of the vote in a three-way race that unseated longtime incumbent Keith Brady and signaled a shift in Newnan’s political landscape.
Shepherd attributed his victory Tuesday to a focused strategy that prioritized direct voter contact and outreach across the entire city instead of concentrating on the traditional downtown core.
“We did way more voter contact than anybody else did,” Shepherd said. “I came out with a platform with a plan, and we went everywhere, not just the same old places.”
Shepherd also spoke about the importance of engaging Black residents and long-term neighborhoods that he believes have been routinely overlooked.
