TIMMY!!! A Return of a Fleming to Local, Electoral Politics?
Kemp's longtime right hand man purportedly to run for HD 114
UPDATE (2/15/22 | 3:22pm) — The Rumors are true: Belton has endorsed Fleming as have Ronnie Cowan - and very surprisingly - Stan Edwards—
Greetings, Fearless Denizens & Political Junkies, and welcome back to the fun house.
How ‘bout Dre & Snoop the other night? Lit. Seriously. And How ‘Bout Them Rams & Matt Stafford, and Sony, and Floyd et al. But the big thing for me is that it was such a good game, especially if you’re an enthusiast of top-notch D & incredible QB play. Even some of the commercials were okay.
But let’s dispense w/ the pleasantries & get down to brass tacks.
One of the Network Chiefs (one of the newer-generation ones; you know, some of the OGs are gettin’ kind of old…) clued me into this a couple of days before some of the C-Town Vine started talking about it.
Tim Fleming, Brian Kemp’s longtime right hand man & former Deputy Secretary of State & Chief of Staff of Kemp’s SOS & GOV tenures, respectively, has apparently announced his intent to run for House District 114 of the GA General Assembly.
I figured the former BOC 5 Rep of Newton Co. would end up running at least one more time.
It’s in his blood by all counts.
I’d heard that Wendell McNeal was DC Dave’s handpicked successor but then was told that might not be entirely accurate. Then, talk of a returned favor - eight years in the making - for Ester having endorsed Belton in the runoff of the 2014 GOP primary for this seat (formerly 112).
Really, who the hell knows. At this point, do you really even care?
You do?!
I know some good folks who are pretty high on McNeal. I’m gonna study up on him & then try to reach out. I’ll keep y’all posted on that. And hell, I’ll even send an email to Tim.
If he’s running, I’d say Fleming’s definitely the underdog & I think he’ll be hauling some major Kemp & Loeffler baggage all around east Newton & Morgan Co.
Regardless, it should be an interesting & probably a fun race to watch. We’ll see.
Stay Tuned. DEVELOPING…
