AGP Executive Report

Last update: 8 hours ago

State Politics & Polling: A new State Navigate poll shows Georgia’s 2026 governor race tightening but still favoring Keisha Lance Bottoms (51%) over Rick Jackson (44%), while an AARP survey highlights a generational split in the U.S. Senate contest—Jon Ossoff leads overall, but Mike Collins pulls ahead among voters 50+. Public Safety & Courts: Colt Gray, the Apalachee High School shooter, pleaded guilty to all 55 counts, with a judge to decide on parole eligibility after a minimum life sentence. Metro Atlanta Weather: Flash flood warnings and heavy rain hit metro Atlanta and North Georgia, prompting emergency alerts. Privacy & Surveillance: A report says for-profit school bus stop-arm cameras could be repurposed into a nationwide license-plate reader network—raising alarms about expanded surveillance. Energy & AI Costs: President Trump expanded a “Ratepayer Protection Pledge” aimed at keeping AI data-center growth from driving up electricity bills, with utilities and developers backing the plan. Local Human Interest: Jackson EMC linemen volunteered to bring electricity to a Guatemalan village, energizing power for dozens of homes, schools, and churches. Health & Fitness: A national study ranked Augusta last for fitness friendliness, citing low walkability, limited fitness access, and high inactivity/obesity rates.
