The Georgia Hour, episode 80: Georgia GOP Chair Election 2025: David Cross vs. Josh McKoon

The Georgia GOP chair election on June 7, 2025, in Dalton is a pivotal moment to reshape the party’s future in Georgia. Delegates must rally to vote for David Cross, Lisa Pierce, Norine Cantor, Laurie McClaine, and Cindy Nixon to challenge the entrenched power structure led by Brian Kemp, empowered by Josh McKoon. McKoon claims credit for raising millions, but critics argue much of it came from the RNC, with questionable spending recently uncovered. Investigations by Tim Sharp reveal $28,149 in suspicious refunds, hinting at potential financial misconduct involving donation platforms like WinRed. SB221, signed by Governor Brian Kemp, enables leadership committees to bypass traditional campaign finance limits, sidelining the GA GOP and empowering government leadership. This law undermines grassroots candidates, rigging the system against MAGA hopefuls. Cross, a principled businessman, pledges to restore balance and amplify grassroots voices. The 2026 Senate race, with John King and Mike Collins as contenders, underscores the stakes, as Kemp’s influence may outweigh Trump’s. Attend the convention, support Cross, and reclaim the party from establishment control. Visit crossforga.com or GAballots on YouTube for candidate forums.
