It’s weird to think a full month of 2026 is complete. Time certainly doesn’t stand still, and we are now weeks into legislative session and drawing ever closer to an existential election. And, Frontline keeps chopping… |
FRONTLINE HIRES KELBIE MURPHY AS LEADERSHIP COORDINATOR…
As Frontline looks to bolster and grow our team - we are still in a hiring process - we are proud to announce that Kelbie Murphy has filled the role of Leadership Coordinator. In this position, Kelbie is tasked with recruiting rising leaders to join our Frontline HQ program, provide support at the Capitol, and increase our statewide engagement. A recent graduate of the University of North Georgia, Kelbie garnered national attention for calling out wokeness in her college textbooks. Her boldness even earned her a spot on Fox News: https://www.foxnews.com/us/christian-student-exposes-pricey-college-textbook-calling-her-white-supremacist We are thrilled to have her join our team and are confident that her energy will be an incredible asset to our work. |
... AND SHE JUST GAVE HER FIRST LEGISLATIVE TESTIMONY
This week, Kelbie testified in support of HB 350, legislation to provide life-saving baby boxes to the state of Georgia. You can see her testimony for the bill, which passed unanimously, here. Her testimony starts at 31:45.

MORE IMPACT FOR CAN
In just the first weeks of the legislative session, the Church Ambassador Network has facilitated over 100 shepherd-to-shepherd connections, with pastors from across Georgia engaging legislators from both chambers in prayer, Scripture, and genuine relationships.
This is what happens when the Church shows up as the Church—not to lobby, but to remind governing authorities they're shepherds too, and they're not alone.

SENATE DISTRICT 18 RESULTS
I want to make a personal comment to commend the candidates who ran for Senate District 18 in the “jungle primary,” especially former Frontline team member and ally Lauren Daniel. She ran an incredible race and, as she always does, took bold, conservative positions.
Along with Eric Wilson and others, conservative turnout surpassed the fears of many, and we congratulate all who worked to oppose the national out-of-state money.
However, this race is now down to two, and we congratulate Steven McNeel for emerging as the standard bearer against a far left candidate. He ran a great race, and he now has very little runway ahead of the special election. Stay tuned for more thoughts on this race.

COMMENDING THE FOCUS OF THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY Our efforts will never be primarily economic. However, we support legislation and initiatives that lead to human flourishing here in Georgia.
Affordability is, in fact, a major crisis facing our state and our country. Prices are too high, and family budgets are stretched thin. As such, we commend the Georgia General Assembly for taking seriously the best ways to tackle this issue. Robust conversations continue to happen about how best to reduce taxes and keep money in your pocket.
In fact, the House recently unveiled the Georgia HOME Act, which would eliminate the property tax by 2032. We look forward to supporting this, and similar, efforts to keep more dollars in the hands of families. |
