Monday, May 11, 2026: Saturday, I was honored to be in Senoia, located Southwest of Atlanta, where I spoke at the Coweta County GOP at their monthly meeting. Founded in 1860 by Rev. Francis Warren Baggarly, Senoia was officially incorporated as a city on December 12, 1866. Coweta County was named for a sub-group of the Creek people, the Koweta Indians, who had several towns in and around the present-day county. After a great visit, I headed further North and West to Breman in Haralson and Carroll Counties where I visited my friends at Breman Pharmacy. Breman is one of many cities in the State of Georgia that is located in more than one county. Originally named Kramer, after a German immigrant who owned a local vineyard, it was renamed to honor Bremen, Germany at Kramer’s request. Next, I headed further north to Rome in Floyd County where I had the honor of speaking to members of the Floyd County GOP. Interestingly, Rome was named when a group of veterans of the War of 1812 held a drawing to determine the name and Col. Daniel R. Mitchell’s submission of Rome was chosen. Col Mitchell submitted the name of Rome because of the area’s hills and rivers. Afterwards, I headed back east to Atlanta where I attended The Center for Family Resources Gala in Cobb County. This non-profit founded in 1960 works to prevent homelessness and help families achieve long-term stability through housing assistance, financial support, and educational services. On Sunday, I had the honor of worshipping at First Baptist Church Atlanta at both of their morning services. And what a great experience it was! This major Southern Baptist Church, known for its large membership, expansive campus, and global reach through television and digital ministry, rose to national prominence under long time pastor Charles Stanley. Today, I am honored to speak at the Henry County Rotary Club in McDonough south of metro Atlanta where I bring them up to date on Washington issues. While McDonough was named for naval office Commodore Thomas Macdonough, Henry County was named for Patrick Henry. Once back in downtown Atlanta, I have an interview with Fox News to discuss the Senate race. Next, I head east to Athens where I have the honor of speaking to the Athens-Clark County GOP at their monthly meeting and afterwards drive to Savannah.
