Monday, May 4, 2026: On Saturday, I was in Eatonton in Putnam County where I was honored to speak to the County GOP party at their monthly meeting. Located about 75 miles southeast of Atlanta near Lake Sinclair and Lake Oconee, this area is known for its outdoor recreation. Named for William Eaton, an officer and diplomat involved in the First Barbary War, the name consists of his surname and the English suffix “ton”, meaning “town.” Putnam county was named for Israel Putnam, a hero of the French and Indian War and a general in the American Revolutionary War. Afterwards, I met with the leadership of the GOP before heading back to Gay in Meriwether County where I visited with County Commissioner Gene King at his home and had a live interview on Fox News with John Scott. After discussing news of the day including potential re-districting in the State of Georgia and the conflict in Iran, I headed to the Cotton Fair, a bi-annual event, held the first weekends of May and October complete with vendors, crafts and antiques. With a population of around 110, Gay is located in West Central Georgia between Atlanta and Columbus, and was named after an early postmaster, William F. Gay. Meriwether County was named for David Meriwether, a general in the American Revolutionary War and member of Congress. Later in the day, I headed to Carrollton where I attended the Carroll County Chamber of Commerce annual meeting held at the University of West Georgia Campus Center Ballroom. Carrollton and Carroll County were named in honor of Charles Carroll of Carrollton, at that time the last living signer of the Declaration of Independence. Yesterday, I was honored to worship at Sugar Hill Church, a large Baptist megachurch located in Sugar Hill, northeast of metro Atlanta. Known for its contemporary worship style, strong focus on community outreach, and extensive family and youth programs, it was founded in 1889 and has grown significantly alongside the expansion of the Atlanta suburbs and now serves thousands of attendees each week. After flying back home yesterday, I head to the Glynn County Board of Elections in Brunswick as I exercise one of the greatest rights we have in this great country, the right to vote. Afterwards, I visit the Golden Isles Association of Realtors before heading back to the airport for my return trip to Atlanta. Once back, I have a virtual call with our d and then a virtual meeting with the Congressional Excellence Program. My final event of the day is in downtown Atlanta as I am honored to speak to the Georgia GOP Foundation at their monthly meeting.

He was definitely an innovator as well as a great man.

Wednesday, May 6, 2026: After an early morning drive from the Atlanta area, I’m in Cairo in Grady County in deep southwest Georgia as I greet a group of locals at Center Drugs to discuss Washington issues. Named after the capital of Egypt, Cairo is located between Thomasville and Bainbridge just north of Tallahassee, FL. Grady County was named for the editor Henry W. Grady and is the birthplace of baseball legend Jackie Robinson. After a great visit at Center Drugs, I head to Georgia Southwestern University in Americus where I have an interview with the Americus Newspaper before joining the Albany Chamber of Commerce for a member meeting. Next, I head to Cordele in Crisp County where I visit Adams Drug Store and present them with a proclamation commemorating their 75th year in business.
