FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MONDAY, JUNE 21, 2021 ICYMI: GREATER GEORGIA RESULTS HIGHLIGHTED IN WASHINGTON EXAMINER ATLANTA – In case you missed it, the Washington Examiner recently highlighted Greater Georgia's record of results since its launch just four months ago. In a story last week, the Examiner discussed the group's successful efforts to register thousands of new conservative voters, mobilize hundreds of thousands more, and fight for election integrity – including in the State House District 34 Special Election in Cobb County. From the Washington Examiner: Kelly Loeffler says her project to boost Georgia conservative turnout is already showing results Just four months after launching her Greater Georgia project, former Republican Sen. Kelly Loeffler says that her efforts to rebuild conservative enthusiasm and win back voters disillusioned with the election process in her state are already showing results. In a special election for state House District 34 on Tuesday, a suburban district outside Atlanta, Republican candidates received a combined 59% of the vote, outperforming the previous Republican candidate who won with 56% in November 2020. “It was a great test of engagement and turnout,” Loeffler told the Washington Examiner in an interview. “While it was a relatively under-the-radar election, the engagement we saw, whether it was from voters or volunteers, I think is indicative of the energy that's going to be there in 2022.” In addition to registering thousands of new voters, Greater Georgia has engaged over 170,000 registered but inactive conservative-leaning voters, according to metrics first provided to the Washington Examiner. With digital ads and text messages about election integrity issues, it reached more than 700,000 Georgians. It recruited 150 volunteers and held eight registration and mobilization events. Those could help reengage Republicans who voted in the 2020 general election but not in the Jan. 5 Georgia Senate runoff. Over 750,000 voters skipped the runoff, according to an Atlanta Journal-Constitution analysis. According to Loeffler, 330,000 of those were conservatives. Loeffler launched Greater Georgia in February after narrowly losing a Jan. 5 runoff election to Democratic Sen. Raphael Warnock, whose election along with Democratic Sen. Jon Ossoff gave Democrats a razor-thin majority in the Senate. The organization is the conservative answer to Democrat Stacey Abrams’s Fair Fight, which has nationwide fame for mobilizing liberals on election issues. “If you think about the operation that Stacey Abrams set up with Fair Fight, she's really had a monopoly on voter engagement, registration, even going as far as to use the courts to change our election laws here in Georgia,” Loeffler said. “We just see a lot of demand for what we're doing in terms of not just registration, but reaching out to diverse communities and also protecting election integrity.” Loeffler has leaned into battles over election processes. In April, she called on the state's attorney general to investigate Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger (a frequent target of former President Donald Trump), accusing him of downplaying “voters’ legitimate concerns about changes to Georgia’s elections which were related to the pandemic.” An internal Greater Georgia poll found that among Republicans who voted in the 2020 general election but not the runoff, 89% said that they would be more likely to vote in 2022 if they were confident the elections would be fair and accurate. “Election integrity is the No. 1 issue for conservative voters,” Loeffler said. Greater Georgia is also combating Democratic talking points that Republican efforts to change voting laws aim to suppress minority voters. The group has hosted six roundtables with community leaders from the African American, Hispanic American, Asian American and Pacific Islander, and Indian American communities. Though she’s encouraged by the engagement the group has seen so far, “We can't take that for granted,” Loeffler said. She hopes to “make sure that the conservative movement is engaged in election integrity, voter registration, [and] growing our tent” year-round rather than just during election season.
