Vote Like They Hope You’re Distracted

The political class counts on low turnout. Don’t give them what they want.

The political industry has one favorite voter: the voter who stays home.

They love the exhausted voter.
They love the confused voter.
They love the voter who says, “I’ll get to it next time.”

Because when regular people stop voting, the paid political industry: consultants, lobbyists, bureaucrats, PACs, and career politicians, they do not stop working or getting paid. They just get a smaller group of people to decide more power for everyone else.

That is why the message is simple:

Go vote. Bring someone with you. Vote like the Democrats and Republican establishment are counting on you to forget.

Georgia’s May 19, 2026 Primary is not a boring election. It includes major statewide races, congressional races, and statewide judicial races.

And yes: please vote in the judicial races.

Normally, I am rightly skeptical of incumbents. Incumbency is the political class’s favorite shield. But the statewide judicial races are different this election cycle. In these races, the statewide judicial incumbents have done the far better job and need to be supported.

As an attorney, I can attest that bad appellate judges can cause a lot of harm.

The statewide judicial seats up this cycle include Georgia Supreme Court seats held by Sarah Hawkins Warren and Charlie Bethel, along with Court of Appeals seats held by Trenton Brown and Elizabeth Gobeil.

Do not skip those races. Do not leave them blank. The election for them is happening now and ends on Tuesday. Judicial races matter because courts decide whether written law means what it says, and whether constitutional rights are protected.

Then, for Republicans who want to send a clear message in the partisan races, support the GRA-endorsed candidates. The Georgia Republican Assembly’s 2026 endorsement list includes the following statewide and congressional endorsements and was decided by actual volunteer activists who are more immune to the effects of candidates trying to buy the election with millions of dollars of ads. The GRA members find the best candidates:

GRA-Endorsed Statewide Candidates

Lt. Governor: Greg Dolezal — campaign site available here.

GRA-Endorsed Congressional Candidates

CD 04: Jim Duffie — ballotpedia here
CD 09: Andrew Clyde — campaign site available here.
CD 11: Chris Mora — campaign site available here.
CD 12: Tori Branum — campaign site available here.

Here is the point: the people who want power or gain from it always show up.

The lobbyists show up.
The paid consultants show up.
The political insiders show up.
The people who want to water down and weaken the Republican Party show up.
The people who want to keep grassroots voters quiet show up.

So we have to show up too, and don’t get distracted by whoever spent the most money on their campaign.

Go vote. Support the judicial incumbents. Support the GRA-endorsed candidates. And remind every Republican you know: the corrupt political industry wins when you stay home.
