From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for, but this year we are especially thankful for our newborn son and our growing family. We hope you and yours have a happy, safe, and filling Thanksgiving.

The location feature on X has shown that there are large numbers of users, based in a handful of foreign nations, working to drive divisions. I called out Russia & Iran over the last few years. But be aware, there will still be bad foreign actors using VPNs, to fake US location.

@voting.works is proud to be helping Georgia audit their elections. Georgia has been one of the states on the forefront of rigorous post-election audits, a practice I hope every state adopts in the next few years.

A Risk Limiting Audit (like Georgia has done for several years under @GaSecofState Raffensperger) confirms the outcome of the statewide PSC race, showing the accuracy of Georgia’s election system. sos.ga.gov/news/raffens... (1/2)

There will be a runoff for the State Senate 35 special election. The top 2 finishers are former Cobb School Board Member Jaha Howard & former State Rep Roger Bruce. It will be held on December 16.

It’s my birthday 🎉 I’m asking you to help me keep Georgia the best, safest, most secure place to vote in America. If you want a Secretary of State who protects every legal vote — I need your help. Chip in: 👉 gabrielsterling.com

Today our nation honors all who have worn the uniform. Their, and their family’s, service & sacrifice protect those freedoms that many take for granted. To each & every veteran - thank you. You remind all Americans what it means to serve a cause, a purpose, larger than ourselves. 🇺🇸#VeteransDay

With the early morning freeze coming I was forced to do a pre-ripe harvest on my ghost peppers. Leaving the plants in the ground…hoping it won’t be too hard of a freeze.

Election Day in GA is behind us. Thanks to all of the elections officials & poll workers. Again, voters in Georgia had the opportunity to vote easily & securely on a voting system that is battle tested & the best & safest in the nation. As Secretary of State, I'll fight every day to keep it that way

Voters in Atlanta will have an extra hour to vote (8pm) compared to every voter in GA. This is due to an antiquated law. As Secretary of State, I’ll work w/ the Legislature to update the law to assure all voters are treated equally and given the same access to the polls. www.ajc.com/news/2025/11...

My Dad would make the Columbus, GA delicacy (invented at Dinglewood Pharmacy) Scrambled Dog on GameDay. Making them in his honor for UGA/UF today. #GoDawgs

Turnout is looking strong across Georgia today for the last day of Early Voting in the statewide PSC and municipal races. I’m betting we surpass 100,000 voters coming out today. You still have time to vote today before the trick or treaters are out. Go Vote!

Happy Halloween! Don’t be scared to go vote. It’s the last day of Early Voting in Georgia. Find your location at GA Sec of State Raffensperger’s My Voter Page mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/ if you can’t today, you still have all day Tuesday.

This weekend at Thos. O’Reilly’s in @SandySpringsGA, they have partnered w/ Ancient Order of Hibernians and the St. Francis Table to augment their food pantry for families in need. Brings some non-perishable food items on Saturday to the Pub and your 1st beverage is on them.

I did my part. I voted today. You still have until Friday to Early Vote and then Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. Have you made your plan to vote yet…? Given the turnout, there are around 6.8 million of my fellow Georgians who can still get out and vote.

Yesterday we saw more than 54k votes cast in Georgia. Today we should break through the 400k. Including today we have 3 days of Early Voting remaining. Then Election Day is Tuesday, November 4. #PlanYourVote

Solid Saturday voting numbers for this election today. Most counties still have some time to vote today. Otherwise you have all of next week to Early Vote and Election Day on November 4. #PlanYourVote

Today is the last SATURDAY of Early Voting. For UGA fans, since we are on a bye week, it’s a great day to get out and vote. You still have Monday thru Friday next week to Early Vote too. #PlanYourVote

Every weekday we are seeing a higher turnout than the day before. You still have time to vote. These PSC races are vital. Here are bar charts of daily turnout and the voter numbers by largest turnout counties. You can track yourself at the GA Sec of State Data Hub here sos.ga.gov/page/electio...

The Special Election has been called by @GovKemp to fill State House District 23 following the tragic passing of Rep. Mandi Ballinger after her long, brave battle with cancer. The election is set for December 9, 2025. Runoff if necessary will be January 6, 2026.

While we will pass 200,000 voters later today here in Georgia, there is a neck and neck race as to what county is having the highest turnout percentage of voters. Stewart, just south of Columbus, had been leading & is at 8.4%, Clinch on the Florida border now is ahead w/ 8.5%.

Last week, I became a father.  It may be cliché, but in between the dirty diapers, late night feedings, and the newest claim updates from our health insurance provider, I am amazed at how a new child brings into focus life’s priorities, brings forth gratitude, and further inspires my optimism. 1/4

We’ve had over 63,000 Georgians cast ballots for the November elections. Slight increase in turnout each day. Here are some stats from @GaSecofState Data Hub built out in my time in the office to enhance transparency. sos.ga.gov/page/electio...

Find your Early Voting locations & sample ballots at @GaSecofState My Voter Page at mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

Fantastic news out of Israel. First of the remaining hostages have been handed over. Praying this first step leads to a stable ceasefire and eventual peace. The 20 point Trump plan is ambitious, but provides a path. www.wsj.com/livecoverage...

Celebrate National Farmers Day today. All those great meals I post could not happen without farmers and ranchers. Here in Georgia, agriculture accounts for nearly $100 billion of our state’s GDP and is our #1 industry. We should be thankful to (and for) farmers all year.

From The Godfather to Father of the Bride, I have hard time envisioning Hollywood without Dianne Keaton. She had an amazing career. She will be missed. Rest in Peace. people.com/diane-keaton...

With Early Voting starting next Tuesday, October 14 all of the Sample Ballots have been posted online. You can access your sample ballot at the @GaSecofState My Voter Page at mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/

Georgia is the #1 producer of pecans in America…accounting for about 1/3 of domestic nuts. And hurricane season is always a threat to that crop. roughdraftatlanta.com/2025/10/06/g...

TODAY is the last day to register to vote here in Georgia for the Special Public Service Commission races, municipal contests & a handful of local Specials. 90%+ of eligible voters are already registered. If you aren’t, go to mvp.sos.ga.gov/s/olvr-home

The fun dance of multiple cuts going for different temps…to be served at the same time.

State investing more in Georgia ports as shipments increase. This is vital for Georgia’s future as 1 in 8 jobs are tied to Georgia’s ports. That means it is central to the overall GA economy, which impacts nearly every business, and every paycheck. capitol-beat.org/2025/10/stat...

The investigation continues & expands on many fronts, I call again on any candidate or elected official who received funds (or in kind) from the Frosts, 1st Liberty, & now apparently the GRA, to give an equal amount to the receiver to make the victims of the fraud whole. www.ajc.com/politics/202...

G'mar chatimah tovah to my friends who celebrate. Hope you have a meaningful fast.

The overnight smoke on the bone in pork butt is going well. Already made it through the stall. Probably ready to come off around 9.

Today, is #ConstitutionDay. This document has guided our nation for 238yrs. Its strength lies in its balance-protecting liberties while enabling governance, through the votes of the people’s representatives. Let’s recommit to upholding its principles, ensuring free, fair, safe & secure elections.🇺🇸

Robert Redford was a genuine movie star. Great in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, The Sting, and from my high school years, The Natural. He will be missed. Rest in Peace. apple.news/A2-QIVeUjQFW...

Civic engagement is the lifeblood of of our communities. Attending a @SandySpringsGA mayoral Meet & Greet hosted by my HOA. A great opportunity to allow residents to ask questions of those that want to lead us. These type of forums need to be happening in cities across Georgia.

“We can return violence with violence; we can return hate with hate. That’s the problem with political violence. It metastasizes. We can always point the figure at the other side. At some point we have to find an off ramp, or else it’s going to get much worse.” www.politico.com/news/2025/09...

I’ve said it before, there is no place for violence, especially political violence, in America. The shooting of Charlie Kirk is just the latest episode. We are a nation of laws. (1/2)

Travelling in Southeast Georgia today and got to visit #Bucees for the first time. Got a chopped brisket sandwich. It is an experience!
