"Centering Georgia: Why Kemp is the inevitable" Oct 06, 2022

He is a conservative Republican who is dubbed as the governor who kept his promises. She is a liberal Democrat who would be the state's first black woman governor.

As Georgia maintains its status as the eye of the electoral storm, what could possibly be more intriguing than a sequel of the controversial 2018 governor’s contest?

It was recalled how, despite being in obvious defeat four years ago, Stacey Abrams declined to hand over the victory to Republican Brian Kemp. Now, they are in another face-off for the governor's seat.

These two leading contenders have massive differences, and it is quite evident that this election will be philosophical in a way that Georgia is not accustomed to.

After receiving the most savage, unending torment that former president Donald Trump has thrown, Governor Kemp insisted on flaunting his credentials, which has worked in his defense, considering that the majority of Georgians think favorably of him.

Much of this can be attributed to Kemp's response to the COVID-19 outbreak. Republicans have lauded him for the state's booming economy, which has persisted despite a global pandemic. In return, Georgia's unemployment figure was lower than other regions, and its GDP was also significantly higher than the national rate.

Beyond his tenacity in politics, Kemp proved that he is a man of his word. He established a solid, conservative campaign that lays an emphasis on Georgia's commerce, healthcare, education, and law enforcement. In the end, his promises were kept and fulfilled.

Despite this, Democrats are attempting to paint Kemp as an extremist leader who is detached from the ideals of the state.

Democrats' representative Abram, on the other hand, is reported to be taking the reins on voting rights. She spearheaded two programs in Georgia that supported business owners, assisted communities to get corona virus immunizations, and reduced medical expenses for almost 70,000 citizens.

However, she has also proved to be prone in making mistakes, giving Republicans something to put against her, including her comment referring to Georgia as "the worst state in the country to live."

After barking back on critics, a political advertisement featuring a picture of Abrams without a mask sitting with a bunch of young pupils who are all wearing masks highlights a new fault. To save face, she brings up the abortion debate, claiming that it was an attack on Georgia's women and that the only way to prevent it was to remove Brian Kemp from office.

Whereas voters are already aware that Kemp is pro-life and have seen him support a number of other pro-life initiatives, such as reforming adoption laws, child welfare systems, and laws combating modern slavery.

Georgians' main concern, meanwhile, is how they will survive the current economic depression. They need a leader who has a solid plan to make Georgia stronger and safer.

Now, who among these two candidates is willing to prioritize the people's concerns? One of the two fits the bill. And HE has never failed in putting Georgians first.
