With the early morning freeze coming I was forced to do a pre-ripe harvest on my ghost peppers. Leaving the plants in the ground…hoping it won’t be too hard of a freeze.

Election Day in GA is behind us. Thanks to all of the elections officials & poll workers. Again, voters in Georgia had the opportunity to vote easily & securely on a voting system that is battle tested & the best & safest in the nation. As Secretary of State, I'll fight every day to keep it that way

Voters in Atlanta will have an extra hour to vote (8pm) compared to every voter in GA. This is due to an antiquated law. As Secretary of State, I’ll work w/ the Legislature to update the law to assure all voters are treated equally and given the same access to the polls. www.ajc.com/news/2025/11...
Judge rules Atlanta polls will remain open until 8 p.m.
City polling locations will be open an hour longer than planned after Atlanta sucessfully sued Fulton and DeKalb counties over a 7 p.m. closing time.

Turnout is looking strong across Georgia today for the last day of Early Voting in the statewide PSC and municipal races. I’m betting we surpass 100,000 voters coming out today. You still have time to vote today before the trick or treaters are out. Go Vote!

This weekend at Thos. O’Reilly’s in @SandySpringsGA, they have partnered w/ Ancient Order of Hibernians and the St. Francis Table to augment their food pantry for families in need. Brings some non-perishable food items on Saturday to the Pub and your 1st beverage is on them.

I did my part. I voted today. You still have until Friday to Early Vote and then Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. Have you made your plan to vote yet…? Given the turnout, there are around 6.8 million of my fellow Georgians who can still get out and vote.

Yesterday we saw more than 54k votes cast in Georgia. Today we should break through the 400k. Including today we have 3 days of Early Voting remaining. Then Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. #PlanYourVote

Solid Saturday voting numbers for this election today. Most counties still have some time to vote today. Otherwise you have all of next week to Early Vote and Election Day on November 4. #PlanYourVote

Today is the last SATURDAY of Early Voting. For UGA fans, since we are on a bye week, it’s a great day to get out and vote. You still have Monday thru Friday next week to Early Vote too. #PlanYourVote

The Special Election has been called by @GovKemp to fill State House District 23 following the tragic passing of Rep. Mandi Ballinger after her long, brave battle with cancer. The election is set for December 9, 2025. Runoff if necessary will be January 6, 2026.

While we will pass 200,000 voters later today here in Georgia, there is a neck and neck race as to what county is having the highest turnout percentage of voters. Stewart, just south of Columbus, had been leading & is at 8.4%, Clinch on the Florida border now is ahead w/ 8.5%.

Last week, I became a father. 

It may be cliché, but in between the dirty diapers, late night feedings, and the newest claim updates from our health insurance provider, I am amazed at how a new child brings into focus life’s priorities, brings forth gratitude, and further inspires my optimism. 1/4

Celebrate National Farmers Day today. All those great meals I post could not happen without farmers and ranchers. Here in Georgia, agriculture accounts for nearly $100 billion of our state’s GDP and is our #1 industry. We should be thankful to (and for) farmers all year.
