Georgia elections: Trump connections shape two key House races today

In todays Georgia elections‚ a notable Trump-aide is set to grab a congressional seat while another race pits a long-standing rep against an ex-Trump team member (making both contests Trump-connected match-ups)

The state-wide ballot doesnt include any major positions‚ but voters are looking at three key proposals:

  • A property-tax value cap
  • Two other state-wide measures
  • Several local-level choices

Most state House spots arenʼt competitive‚ but some districts might shift the power balance – Democrats aim to cut into the GOPʼs control in a few key match-ups. Mike Collins‚ the current rep whose been serving since the early-90s looks ready to win term number 17 against his Trump-linked opponent

The property-tax proposal‚ which would put limits on home value increases has gotten lots of attention from home-owners and tax experts; its seen as the most important item for many local voters

In the northern part of the state a different race shows Brian Anderson‚ who worked closely with the previous administration heading for an easy win in his first try for office
