Zz Pres. Carter's Grandson



GOVERNOR

President Jimmy Carter's grandson, Jason, is running for governor of Georgia.

10 years ago, said NPR, Georgia was 70% white. Now it is 60% white with the rest divided among blacks, Latinos, and Asians. There are strong voter registration drives to bring 800,000 of the minority groups to the polls this fall.

A graduate of Duke University, Jason Carter volunteered for the Peace Corps in Lochiel, South Africa. He was an educator who became fluent in Zulu and Siswati. He is the author of Power Lines, about his experiences there.

Carter is a summa cum laude graduate of the University of Georgia School of Law.

He was a lawyer for the National Football League Players Association and was awarded the Stuart Eizenstat Young Lawyer Award for pro bono work defending voting rights.

Carter represented Georgia's 42nd district in the State Senate. receiving 65.6% of the vote. He won reelection in the 2010 and 2012 general elections where he authored legislation to require the state budget to be presented in two parts: first, a separate education budget, and then a budget to fund the rest of state government.

Carter also sponsored ethics reform legislation, including proposals to limit gifts from lobbyists to legislators, to create and fully fund an independent ethics commission, and to create a non-partisan redistricting commission.

In 2012, he was awarded Common Cause's Democracy Award for work in ethics reform.

In 2014, Carter voted for House Bill (H.B.) 60, the Safe Carry Protection Act which opponents nicknamed the 'guns everywhere' bill.The Safe Carry Protection Act takes effect on July 1,2014, and permits licensed gun owners to carry guns into many public and private places.] The law is supported by the Georgia Baptist Convention which includes 3,600 Baptist churches in Georgia in favor of increased church autonomy, but is not supported by Catholic or Episcopalian church leaders.



President Carter is in this writer's opinion, the most spiritual president we ever had.

David Perdue, the Republican candidate, in a deposition under oath said he had outsourced many textile jobs from Georgia. He is also the former CEO of Dollar General, a chain which has virtually no health food. He denigrated his Republican primary opponent saying she had only a high school diploma. He has no such handle with Michelle Nunn.

Perdue has asked for the support of his cousin, Sonny Perdue, former Georgia governor who killed 17 prisoners in Georgia's death chamber.
