House Bill 397 Clears Key Hurdle Toward Passage

March 28, 2025

Georgia Republicans Continue Fight for Election Integrity



Dear Fellow Republicans,


I want to extend my heartfelt gratitude to our esteemed Republican elected officials especially: Rep. Tim Fleming, Rep. Victor Anderson, Sen. Sam Watson, Sen. Max Burns, Sen. Rick Williams, and Senate Majority Leader Steve Gooch. Special thanks also goes to Speaker Pro Tem Jan Jones and Speaker Jon Burns. I also want to praise Lt. Governor Burt Jones for his leadership this session on election integrity. Their unwavering support and dedication have been instrumental in advancing House Bill 397 through the legislative process.


I also want to acknowledge the exceptional leadership of Brad Carver and the hard work of the Election Confidence Task Force. Your commitment to ensuring the integrity of our electoral process is commendable and vital to maintaining public trust in our elections.


As we stand on the brink of passage for this critical election integrity legislation, it's important to highlight the key provisions of HB 397. This bill will facilitate our withdrawal from the Electronic Registration Information Center (ERIC), moving the State Election Board to the State Accounting Office for better oversight. It empowers the SEB to make rules year-round while ensuring that these rules take effect with ample time before elections—addressing concerns for third-party candidates and enhancing overall electoral fairness.


Moreover, HB 397 includes vital measures to prevent the illegal opening of election offices and establishes stringent surveillance for drop boxes, ensuring the security of our voting processes. It also allows cities the option to opt out of Saturday voting, further tailoring our electoral system to meet the needs of our communities.


Together, we have made significant strides and I urge all of our great Republican legislators to support the final passage of HB 397. This legislation represents a crucial step toward reinforcing the integrity of our elections and safeguarding the democratic process in Georgia. Thank you for your commitment to this important cause.


Best regards,


Josh McKoon

Statement From Chairman Josh McKoon

By Justin Rice • July 22, 2025
In a proactive effort to support the recovery process, our legal counsel initiated communication with the Receiver, who is diligently working to sort through the records related to First Liberty's collapse. The Receiver’s initiative aims to recover assets and restore the losses suffered by hundreds of investors. Today, just 10 calendar days after the Receiver’s appointment, the Georgia Republican Party has completed its diligent review of its records dating to 2021, communicated collaboratively with the Receiver to determine the maximum amount of contributions to be returned, and has delivered a payment of $36,843.97 to Receiver Gregory Hays, representing all contributions received from Brant Frost IV and his immediate family members from January 1, 2021, to the present. Through this proactive cooperation with the Receiver, the Georgia Republican Party has taken a significant step in addressing the unfortunate circumstances surrounding the collapse of First Liberty. While we were under no legal obligation to take this action, we voluntarily complied with the Receiver's suggestion regarding the timeframe and scope of the donations. This decision reflects our commitment to doing what is right for the victims of this unfortunate situation. On behalf of our Party, I am profoundly saddened that members of our conservative movement, along with many others, were misled by false promises of safe investments. This has left countless Georgians facing uncertain futures and financial distress. I want to emphasize that the Party’s action is rooted in compassion and integrity, aimed at supporting the victims and their families. It has not been made at the demand of any level of government or any candidate for office, but rather is the discharge of our moral duty to do our part to assist those who have been affected by this tragedy. The Georgia Republican Party remains dedicated to ensuring that the interests of our constituents are prioritized, and we will continue to vigorously advocate for those who have suffered as a result of these events.

In Case You Missed It, Stacey Abrams’ Fair Fight hit a major roadblock last week…

August 19, 2024
In case you missed it, Stacey Abrams’ dark money group, Fair Fight Action, reportedly called an admitted insurrectionist and election denier to the stand in their fight against Georgia’s voter integrity law. Adrienne Jones, a 22-year political science professor, admitted under oath that she wrote stories calling for black women to “overthrow” President Donald Trump, and claimed that Republicans wanted to create “internment camps” for Americans. “Stacey Abrams’ dark money group miscalculated by calling an admitted insurrectionist to the stand in their fight against Georgia’s voter integrity law. In November, Georgia Republicans will put a stop to Abrams’ attempted hostile takeover of our elections.” – Georgia Republican Party Press Secretary Dani Repass Read more here .
