Brian Jack came home to Georgia with former President Donald Trump’s endorsement and a stack of Washington contacts. Now he just has to close the sale with GOP primary voters in the safely Republican 3rd Congressional District as he makes his first run for office.
Trump’s endorsement has proved powerful in Republican primaries nationwide. But the Trump nod hasn’t been a sure thing in Georgia. Six candidates that Trump endorsed for office in 2022 lost Republican primaries in the state, including former U.S. Sen. David Perdue, who was routed in his challenge to incumbent Gov. Brian Kemp.
The 3rd District hugs the Alabama state line from Carrollton south to Columbus and hooks east into Atlanta’s southern suburbs. It’s been represented for four terms by Drew Ferguson, who’s stepping down after failing to advance in House Republican leadership. Ferguson has been a steady conservative, but not a right-wing rabble-rouser.
Many voters aren’t paying attention to what’s likely to be a low-turnout election. Some who are tuned in, like Newnan resident Lisa Gunter, said Trump’s nod isn’t the only factor she’s considering. “They all basically say the same thing,” Gunter said. “It’s just a matter of which one is going to go there and do what I want them to do.”
Crane has been appealing to religious conservatives, underlining his long-time opposition to abortion and arguing political reform can only flow from a moral rebirth.
