♪♪ >>> HELLO.

I'M RUSS SPENCER, EVENING ANCHOR FOR FOX 5 ATLANTA.

THIS IS THE PRIMARY DEBATE FOR THE REPUBLICANS RUNNING FOR THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 3.

DREW FERGUSON REPRESENTS THE DISTRICT, BUT HE IS NOT RUNNING FOR RE-ELECTION.

THIS IS AN OPEN SEAT.

IT HAS BEEN A REPUBLICAN SEAT SINCE 2007.

LET'S MEET THE CANDIDATES.

THEY ARE IN, JIM BENNETT, STATE COMMITTEEMAN FOR DISTRICT 3.

HE WAS VICE CHAIR AND PRECINCT CHANGE OF THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

MIKE CRANE REPRESENTED DISTRICT 28.

MIKE DUGAN SPENT MORE THAN 20 YEARS IN THE ARMY.

BRIAN JACK IS A SENIOR ADVISOR TO PRESIDENT TRUMP.

PHILIP SINGLETON SERVED IN THE ARMY FOR 13 YEARS EARNING TWO BRONZE STARS AND FIVE AIR MEDALS.

LET'S MEET OUR PANELISTS.

JEFF AMI.

STANLEY DUNLAP.

ABBY CASARUS.

FOR COMPLETE RULES VISIT THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB WEBSITE.

TO BEGIN THE DEBATE, EACH CANDIDATE WILL GET ONE QUESTION OF A SPECIFIC PANELIST.

THEY HAVE 60 SECONDS TO GIVE THEIR ANSWERS.

STANLEY, YOU GET THE FIRST QUESTION FOR BRIAN JACK.

>> GOOD AFTERNOON, BRIAN.

AS THE SENIOR ADVISOR FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP OR FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP, YOU EARNED HIS ENDORSEMENT.

THE QUESTION IS, HOW WOULD YOU SELL YOURSELF IF YOU DID NOT HAVE THAT ENDORSEMENT AS THE BEST CANDIDATE FOR THE DISTRICT 3 CONGRESS?

>> THANK YOU FOR THAT QUESTION.

I'M GRATEFUL TO BE HERE.

BEFORE I BEGIN, I WANT TO THANK EVERYBODY ON THIS STAGE.

48 HOURS AGO MY FATHER HAD A HEALTH EMERGENCY.

EVERY SINGLE PERSON REACHED OUT.

HE IS ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY.

THANK YOU.

TO YOUR POINT, I'VE BEEN ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I WORKED FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.

I SERVED FROM THE FIRST TO THE LAST DAY OF HIS ADMINISTRATION.

I THINK I WOULD LOOK AT THE RECORD OF ACCOMPLISHMENT AND SUCCESS THAT WE HAD AND WE DELIVERED IN THAT ADMINISTRATION.

WE HAD THE MOST SECURE BORDER IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

WE HAD UNBELIEVABLE TAX CUTS THAT LED TO A BOOMING AND GROWING AMERICAN ECONOMY.

WE APPOINTED AND CONFIRMED CONSERVATIVE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES AND JUDGES UP AND DOWN THE FEDERAL BENCH.

I WAS PROUD TO WORK WITH HIM BY HIS SIDE FOR THOSE FOUR YEARS.

THAT'S THE SAME CHARACTER, INTEGRITY AND LOYALTY YOU WILL GET FROM ME.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> MR. JACK, THANK YOU.

JEFF, ASK YOUR QUESTION OF MIKE CRANE.

>> SENATOR CRANE, I HAVE HEARD YOU TALK ABOUT HOW THE SOLUTION TO OUR COUNTRY'S PROBLEMS IS FOR PEOPLE TO CHANGE THEIR HEARTS.

HOW ARE YOU GOING TO ACCOMPLISH THAT BY RUNNING FOR CONGRESS?

>> VERY GOOD QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR LISTENING.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, IT REALLY IS HOW WE CHANGE A NATION.

AS A LEGISLATOR YOU DO THAT BY YOUR LEADERSHIP STYLE AND HOW YOU IMPACT THE PEOPLE AROUND YOU.

I THINK PEOPLE RESPECT AND RELATE TO A VERY GENUINE AND AUTHENTIC PERSON.

THAT'S WHY AS HAVING BEEN IN THE DISTRICT FOR OVER 35 YEARS BUILDING OUR DISTRICT ONE HOUSE AT A TIME, ONE BUSINESS AT A TIME, ONE RELATIONSHIP AT A TIME, I HAVE WON HEARTS.

I NEVER HAD TO ADVERTISE FOR MY BUSINESS.

I'VE NEVER HAD TO GO FIND WORK.

IT'S ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR ME, BECAUSE THAT'S HOW PEOPLE RELATE.

WE CHANGE HEARTS ONE AT A TIME.

>> SENATOR CRANE, THANK YOU.

ABBY, YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION OF PHILIP SINGLETON.

>> YOU WERE KNOWN AS AN OPPOSITIONAL FIGURE IN THE STATEHOUSE.

WHAT WOULD YOUR LEADERSHIP BE IN CONGRESS?

>> THANKS FOR THE QUESTION.

IT IS INTERESTING, I'VE NOT AN OPPOSITIONAL GUY.

I TAKE A SOLDIER'S APPROACH TO EVERYTHING.

I FOUGHT FOR FREEDOM AND LIBERTY AS AN AMERICAN SOLDIER.

I SPENT MOST OF MY ADULT LIFE SERVING IN THE ARMY.

SENSE I GOT OUT OF THE ARMY, I SPENT MY ADULT LIFE SERVING IN THE LEGISLATURE.

ON THE BATTLEFIELD, YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR ENEMIES ARE.

ONE THING I KNEW WHEN SOMEBODY WAS TRYING TO KILL ME, I KNEW WHO THE ENEMY WAS.

THE DIFFICULT THING THAT I HAVE FOUND AS A MEMBER OF THE LEGISLATURE IS, YOU DON'T ALWAYS KNOW WHO YOUR ENEMY IS.

YOU GO AND YOU FIGHT FOR THE PRINCIPLES YOU BELIEVE AND STAND FOR.

I'M NOT SOMEONE THAT FIGHTS AGAINST PEOPLE.

I FIGHT FOR GOOD POLICY.

WHAT I HAVE FOUND IS I KNOW WHO MY FRIENDS ARE.

I KNOW WHO I'M FIGHTING FOR, AND THAT'S THE PEOPLE THAT ELECT ME.

AS A REPRESENTATIVE IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE I WAS EFFECTIVE GETTING THINGS DONE EVEN WHEN I WAS UNDER ATTACK BY LEADERSHIP BECAUSE I FOCUSED ON THE PEOPLE THAT ELECTED ME.

>> THANK YOU.

STANLEY, BACK TO YOU FOR A QUESTION TO JIM BENNETT.

>> ONE OF YOUR CAMPAIGN PLATFORMS IS TO RATIONALIZE THE DEEP STATE IN ORDER TO RIGHT SIZE GOVERNMENT.

CAN YOU ELABORATE ON WHAT YOU MEAN BY DISMANTLING THE DEEP STATE AND HOW YOU WOULD HOPE TO ONE OF THE PRIMARY -- I WAS A BUSINESSMAN FOR 21 YEARS FOR CARLISLE.

I WAS A GLOBAL COMMODITY MANAGER.

IN THAT POSITION, WE FREQUENTLY GO THROUGH AND FIND WHAT WORKS AND WHAT DOESN'T.

YOU RIGHT SIZE THE BUSINESS.

WHEN YOU RIGHT SIZE A BUSINESS, YOU ARE GETTING RID OF THE THINGS THAT DON'T WORK AND YOU ARE AMPLIFYING THE THINGS THAT DO.

THE SAME NEEDS TO BE DONE TO OUR GOVERNMENT.

I THINK I'M A GREAT CHOICE TO DO THAT OR TO HELP IN THAT MANNER.

WHEN YOU LOOK AT OUR GOVERNMENT AGENCIES, IF THEY'RE NOT EFFICIENT, THEN THEY HAVE GOT TO BE REDUCED IN SIZE AND THE EFFICIENCY OF THE PARTS THAT ARE ACTING EFFICIENTLY NEED TO BE ACCELERATED.

THAT'S WHAT I MEAN BY THAT.

IT IS REMOVING WHAT ISN'T WORKING AND SUPPORTING WHAT IS WORKING.

>> MR. BENNETT, THANK YOU.

JEFF, THE FINAL QUESTION IN THIS ROUND TO MIKE DUGAN.

>> SENATOR DUGAN, ON THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL YOU TALK A LOT ABOUT THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT YOU WERE ABLE TO DO IN STATE SENATE WHEN YOU WERE THE MAJORITY LEADER.

YET YOUR COLLEAGUES DID NOT RE-ELECT YOU TO A LEADERSHIP POSITION.

CAN YOU TALK ABOUT WHY THAT IS?

>> SURE.

THANKS, JEFF.

THE TIME HE IS TALKING ABOUT THAT WAS FOUR YEARS THAT I SERVED AS THE MAJORITY LEADER OF THE SENATE.

WE WILL TALK ABOUT THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS THAT WE HAD WHILE I WAS MAJORITY LEADER.

I WAS NOT SELECTED TO BE THE PRO TEM.

21 OF MY COLLEAGUES WITHIN TWO DAYS AFTER MY ANNOUNCING ENDORSED ME FOR THIS SEAT.

THAT'S 21 OUT OF 31 REPUBLICAN SENATORS IN THE STATE SENATE ENDORSED ME.

I THINK WHEN YOU TALK TO THEM, WHAT YOU WILL HEAR IS THEY LIKED ME A LOT IN THE POLICY ROLE, THAT IS WHAT THE MAJORITY LEADER IS RESPONSIBLE FOR, NOT THE ADMINISTRATIVE ROLE, WHICH IS WHAT THE PRO TEM IS RESPONSIBLE FOR.

>> SENATOR DUGAN, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT CONCLUDES THE FIRST ROUND.

THE CANDIDATES WILL ASK A QUESTION TO EACH OTHER.

THE CANDIDATE WHO ASKED THE QUESTION WILL HAVE 30 SECONDS FOR REBUTTAL.

YOU MAY POSE YOUR QUESTION TO ANY OF YOUR OPPONENTS.

JIM BENNETT, YOU GET THE FIRST QUESTION TO AN OPPONENT OF YOUR CHOICE.

>> THIS IS THE PART THAT WE CANDIDATES ACTUALLY DON'T ENJOY VERY MUCH, BECAUSE WE TEND TO LIKE EACH OTHER HERE.

MIKE, I'M GOING TO COME BACK TO YOU, MIKE DUGAN, THAT IS.

YOU'VE CONSISTENTLY TOUTED YOUR LEADERSHIP ON THE FLOOR IN THE SENATE.

AND WE APPRECIATE THAT AND WE THANK YOU.

ONE OF THE MAJOR ISSUES THAT YOUR CONSTITUENTS HAVE IS THAT WE'RE STILL USING VOTING MACHINES IN GEORGIA, AND I BELIEVE A VAST MAJORITY OF THEM WOULD PREFER NOT TO HAVE THAT.

YOU PASSED A LOT OF VOTING LEGISLATION.

WHY WEREN'T WE ABLE TO GET RID OF VOTING MACHINES HERE IN GEORGIA?

>> THANK YOU, JIM.

WE DID PASS A LOT OF LEGISLATION.

I THINK JIM IS REFERRING TO SENATE BILL 202D, VOTER INTEGRITY ACT THAT WE PASSED IN THE 21 SESSION, OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

IT COVERED EVERYTHING FROM DROP BOXES TO ABSENTEE BALLOTS.

IT DID NOT COVER VOTING MACHINES.

HONESTLY AT THAT POINT, VOTING MACHINES WERE NOT THE BIG ISSUE BECAUSE THE MOST LOUD ADVOCATES FOR CHANGE WITHIN THE ELECTION SYSTEM AT THAT TIME WERE OBVIOUSLY PRESIDENT TRUMP SUPPORTERS.

PRESIDENT TRUMP WON THE VOTING MACHINE BALLOT.

THERE ARE QUESTIONS THAT HAVE COME UP SINCE THEN ABOUT UPDATES.

THAT'S A SECRETARY OF STATE QUESTION FOR HIM.

I SAID REPEATEDLY, WE NEED TO DO THE UPDATES TO MAKE SURE WE HAVE THE MOST UP TO DATE, SECURE VOTING MACHINES IN THE NATION.

>> MR. BENNETT, YOU HAVE 30 SECONDS TO RESPOND.

>> I BELIEVE THAT YOU ARE CORRECT THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP DID WIN THE VOTING MACHINES.

BUT THE FACT THAT EVERY TIME THAT A VOTING MACHINE COUNTS AND AUDITS OR COUNTS OUR VOTES, WE DO NOT HAVE A TRAIL WITH THE SYSTEM THAT WE HAVE NOW.

I BEG TO DIFFER ON THE FACT THAT IT IS NOT A VERY BIG DEAL.

THAT'S ALL.

>> MIKE DUGAN, IT'S YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION TO AN OPPONENT OF YOUR CHOICE.

>> THANK YOU.

MR. JACK, WE GOT GROCERY COSTS GOING THROUGH THE ROOF HERE.

WORKING CLASS FAMILIES ARE STRUGGLING TO PUT FOOD ON THE TABLE, ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD, GAS IN THEIR TANKS.

I BELIEVE OUR TRUST IN CONGRESS IS LOWEST IT HAS EVER BEEN.

MANY ARE SELLING STOCKS AND MAKING MONEY.

WOULD YOU JOIN ME IN BANNING THAT?

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

I WOULD JOIN YOU IN BANNING MEMBERS OF CONGRESS FROM TRADING STOCKS.

I THINK IT'S RATIONAL TO HOLD MEMBERS OF CONGRESS ACCOUNTABLE.

ULTIMATELY, WE NEED TO RESTORE CONFIDENCE AND TRUST AND INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY IN CONGRESS.

YOU MENTIONED INFLATION.

ONE THING I WAS PROUD TO DO WORKING WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP IN THE WHITE HOUSE, I WAS PROUD TO PASS THE TAX CUTS AND JOBS ACT.

I NAVIGATED THAT THROUGH CONGRESS.

WE SAW UNBELIEVABLE GROWTH IN OUR ECONOMY.

THAT HELPS.

IF WE'RE GOING TO DRIVE DOWN INFLATION, WE HAVE TO UNLEASH AMERICAN ENERGY AND REIGN IN GOVERNMENT SPENDING.

WE HAVE TO FIX OUR ECONOMY AND SECURE THE BORDER.

I WOULD PROUDLY WORK FOR OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT TO ACCOMPLISH THOSE THINGS.

>> SENATOR DUGAN, 30 SECONDS.

>> THANK YOU, MR. JACK, FOR AGREEING WITH MY PROPOSAL TO BAN TRADING WHILE YOU ARE SITTING IN CONGRESS.

YOU'VE GOT ACCESS AND POWER AND IT'S TOO EASY TO ABUSE.

THERE ARE FIRMS THAT TRACK MEMBERS OF CONGRESS AND THEIR STOCK PURCHASES AND USE THAT AS A WAY TO SELL STOCKS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS.

IF YOU SEND ME TO CONGRESS, THAT WILL BE THE FIRST THING THAT I DO IS PREVENT OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS FROM BUYING STOCK AND PUTTING FAITH BACK IN OUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.

>> MIKE CRANE, YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.

>> VERY GOOD.

THANK YOU.

REALLY, IF I ASK ANY OF THESE GUYS A QUESTION UP HERE, I ALREADY KNOW THE ANSWER.

THEY'RE GOING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING YOU WOULD LIKE TO HEAR.

SO I WOULD REALLY WANT TO ASK A QUESTION I DON'T KNOW THE ANSWER TO.

THAT QUESTION GOES TO THE VOTERS OUT THERE.

STARTING EVEN NOW AS THIS IS BEING AIRED STARTING TOMORROW, YOU GET TO DECIDE WHO THE NEXT CONGRESSMAN FROM THE 3rd DISTRICT IS GOING TO BE.

CERTAINLY, ON THE REPUBLICAN SIDE.

MY QUESTION TO YOU IS, DO YOU WANT TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THAT VOTE OR DO YOU WANT TO LET WASHINGTON AND THE D.C.

INSIDERS DO WHAT THEY HAVE DONE FOR THE LAST SEVERAL CYCLES, AND THAT IS CHOOSE THE NEXT REPRESENTATIVE FROM THE 3rd DISTRICT?

>> DO YOU HAVE A QUESTION FOR SOMEONE HERE ON THE PANEL?

>> I WANTED TO ASK THE MORE IMPORTANT ONE.

THAT'S MY QUESTION TO THE VOTERS.

>> ALL RIGHT.

FAIR ENOUGH.

BRIAN JACK, IT'S YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION TO AN OPPONENT OF YOUR CHOICE.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

I WOULD LIKE TO ASK JIM BENNETT A QUESTION.

>> YES, SIR.

>> OVER THE COURSE OF THE CAMPAIGN, YOU'VE HAD CREATIVE IDEAS AS IT RELATES TO DEREGULATION.

I WANT TO ASK IF ELECTED TO CONGRESS, WHAT WOULD YOU DO TO HELP DEREGULATE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY?

>> THE VERY FIRST THING I WOULD LIKE TO DO IS SUPPORT RAND PAUL'S BILL THAT WOULD HAVE CONGRESS VOTE ON ANY AND ALL REGULATIONS THAT ARE CREATED BY THE DEEP STATE THAT WOULD AFFECT THE AMERICAN ECONOMY BY MORE THAN 1$100 MILLION.

CONGRESS HAS ABDICATED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS ROLE.

IN THE BEGINNING, THAT'S THE FIRST STEP WE HAVE TO TAKE.

AS MR. JACK AND MR. TRUMP DID, REMOVE AS MANY REGULATIONS AS WE CAN.

SUPPORT PRESIDENT TRUMP IN REVERSING AND REMOVING AS MANY REGULATIONS AS HE CAN.

THEY REMOVED ONE REGULATION -- EXCUSE ME, EIGHT REGULATIONS FOR EVERY ONE THAT WAS CREATED.

I THINK THAT'S AN EXCELLENT FIRST START.

>> MR. JACK, YOUR RESPONSE?

>> I THINK IT'S A PHENOMENAL IDEA, TO REQUIRE CONGRESS TO PASS REGULATIONS OF A CERTAIN SIZE.

AT THE END OF THE DAY, YOU HAVE UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS IN WASHINGTON, D.C. THAT ARE DOING EVERYTHING TO STIFLE THE AMERICAN ECONOMY.

AS MR. BENNETT POINTED OUT, WE CUT EIGHT.

IF YOU LOOK AT THE ECONOMY AND YOUR 401(K), WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND I WAS BY HIS SIDE, WE DID EVERYTHING TO UNLEASH AMERICA'S ECONOMY.

WE HAVE TO DO THAT AGAIN.

WE HAVE TO HOLD ACCOUNTABILITY, NOT JUST IN CONGRESS BUT ALSO FOR OUR UNELECTED BUREAUCRATS THAT AREN'T DOING THE JOB.

THEY SHOULD BE REMOVED.

WE NEED TO EQUIP THE ADMINISTRATION WITH THE TOOLS TO GET THAT DONE.

>> PHILIP SINGLETON, YOUR TURN.

>> THANK YOU.

I'M GOING TO ASK MY QUESTION TO SENATOR DUGAN.

I HAVE GROWN UP IN GEORGIA'S 3rd DISTRICT.

MY WIFE TAUGHT.

MY DAD RETIRED AS A TEACHER.

MY ENTIRE ADULT LIFE, I'VE BEEN IN THE 3rd DISTRICT.

THEY ARE CONCERNED WITH WHAT WE ARE DOING TO PROTECT OUR STUDENTS AND OUR BORDER.

MY QUESTION IS, AS YOUR TIME IN THE SENATE WHAT DID YOU ACTUALLY DO TO ADVANCE THOSE CAUSES?

>> TO SECURE THE BORDER?

IT'S A FEDERAL ISSUE.

BUT WE SUPPORTED GOVERNOR KEMP WITH SENDING NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO THE BORDER TO HELP AUGMENT WHAT WAS GOING ON WITH CUSTOMS AND BORDER PATROL.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT SCHOOLS.

THE PARENT INVOLVEMENT, I WROTE.

IT WAS PASSED WHEN I WAS MAJORITY LEADER.

TO TAKE OUT OF THE CURRICULUM THAT SOMEBODY IS PEGGED A CERTAIN WAY BECAUSE OF THEIR RACE, THEIR GENDER, THEIR ETHNICITY.

YOU ARE TALKING ABOUT -- IT WAS A LONG QUESTION, PHILIP.

DID I SAVE THE FREE WORLD?

NO.

BUT I DID LOWER YOUR TAXES.

I DID TAKE DIVISIVE CONCEPTIONS OUT OF SCHOOL.

I DID GET THE HEARTBEAT BILL PASSED.

I DID GET ELECTION SECURITY PASSED.

I DID GET CONSTITUTIONAL CARRY PASS.

THAT'S JUST GOING OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD.

I THINK I'VE HAD GOOD ACCOMPLISHMENT.

>> MR. SINGLETON.

>> THAT'S THE THING WITH POLITICIANS, THERE'S A LONG RECORD OF TALK.

EVERYONE LIKES TO TALK ABOUT WHAT THEY HAVE DONE.

THERE'S A BAD PROBLEM WITH TOKEN BILLS.

YOU SEE THAT IN WASHINGTON TODAY.

IT'S ABOUT A RECORD OF ACHIEVEMENT.

AS A STATE LEGISLATOR, I WROTE SAVE GIRL SPORTS, I WROTE GEORGIA'S BILLS.

>> MR. SINGLETON, THANK YOU.

THAT CONCLUDES OUR SECOND ROUND.

YOU ARE WATCHING THE PRIMARY DEBATE FOR REPUBLICAN CANDIDATES RUNNING FOR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT 3.

WE WILL GO BACK TO THE PANEL TO ASK QUESTIONS TO THE CANDIDATE OF THEIR CHOICE UNTIL WE RUN OUT OF TIME.

I MAY ALSO HAVE QUESTIONS OF THE CANDIDATES.

I WILL DETERMINE WHEN A REBUTTAL IS APPROPRIATE.

ABBY, YOU GET THE FIRST QUESTION IN THIS ROUND.

>> MR. BENNETT, GEORGIA REPRESENTATIVE MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE, SHE HAS POLARIZED A LOT OF REPUBLICANS IN CONGRESS.

DO YOU FEEL LIKE SHE'S A CONSTRUCTIVE FORCE?

IS THERE ANYTHING THAT YOU MIGHT MODEL YOUR CAREER OFF OF HER?

>> I LOVE THE FIGHT THAT IS IN MARJORIE TAYLOR GREENE.

I LOVE HER COMMITMENT TO CONSERVATISM.

I AM NOT AS COMBATIVE.

I'M NOT AS -- WHAT'S THE RIGHT TURN OF PHRASE?

I'M NOT GOING TO BE AS IN YOUR FACE AS SHE IS.

I'M MORE OF A PERSON THAT'S GOING TO BE POLITE.

AN OLD SOUTHERN GENTLEMAN WAY.

I WAS A POLICE OFFICER.

I WAS ALSO IN PROCUREMENT, WHICH MEANT I ARGUED AND WAS ADVERSARIAL WITH PEOPLE EVERY DAY OF MY JOB.

THAT'S 28 YEARS WHERE I WAS IN ADVERSARIAL POSITIONS WHERE I WAS POLITE AND TRIED TO BE FRIENDLY WITH THE PEOPLE I WAS WORKING WITH AND NOT ALWAYS QUITE AS ABRUPT.

BUT ILY ADMIRE HER COMMITMENT TO THE CONSERVATIVE CAUSE.

>> STANLEY, IT IS YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.

>> MY QUESTION IS FOR MR. JACK.

A FEW DAYS AGO, PRESIDENT BIDEN SIGNED A FOREIGN AID PACKAGE THAT INCLUDES BILLIONS OF DOLLARS OF FUNDING FOR THE UKRAINE WAR EFFORT AGAINST RUSSIA.

DO YOU SUPPORT THE CONTINUED AID GOING TO THAT EFFORT?

WHY DO YOU TAKE THAT PARTICULAR STANCE?

>> THANK YOU FOR YOUR QUESTION.

MY CONCERN WITH THAT FOREIGN AID VOTE IS, I JUST DON'T THINK THE VOTERS OF THE -- I DON'T THINK OUR CONSTITUENTS WANT TO SEE MORE MONEY GOING OVERSEAS BEFORE IT GOES TO SECURING OUR BORDER AT HOME.

WHEN I WAS IN THE WHITE HOUSE WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP, I WORKED WITH HIM TO SECURE THE BORDER.

WE FUNDED AND BUILT 400 MILES ACROSS OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.

I WORKED WITH HIM TO ENACT THE REMAIN IN MEXICO POLICY.

WHEN PEOPLE COME TO OUR SOUTHERN BORDER, THEY ARE NOT ADMITTED, GIVEN A CARD TO SAY, COME BACK IN SEVEN YEARS AND HAVE YOUR HEARING.

WE DID VERY CONSTRUCTIVE THINGS IN THE WHITE HOUSE OVER THE FOUR YEARS I WORKED ALONG HIS SIDE TO SECURE THE BORDER.

THE VOTERS WANT TO SEE OUR BORDER SECURED.

AS A MEMBER OF CONGRESS, YOU HAVE TO REFLECT THE WILL AND THE WAY OF YOUR CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATIVES AND YOUR CONSTITUENTS.

YOU HAVE TO REFLECT THEIR WILL.

I DON'T THINK THE VOTERS WOULD SUPPORT THAT VOTE.

>> WOULD YOU GIVE US 30 SECONDS, YOUR RESPONSE TO THE REPUBLICAN'S REJECTION OF THE BIPARTISAN BILL THAT SENATOR LANKFORD HELPED NEGOTIATE THAT WOULD HAVE GIVEN MONEY TO BORDER CONTROL?

THE CRITICS SAY PRESIDENT TRUMP DIDN'T WANT THAT APPROVED BECAUSE HE WANTED IT TO BE AN ISSUE IN NOVEMBER.

>> FROM MY PERSPECTIVE, I DON'T THINK ANYBODY TRUSTS JOE BIDEN TO SECURE OUR BORDER.

IF WE WANT A SECURE SOUTHERN BORDER, WE NEED TO ELECT TRUMP.

WE HAVE TO BUILD MORE BORDER WALL.

WE HAVE TO HELP HIM SUPPORT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION IN AMERICAN HISTORY.

RETURN CITIZENS BACK TO THEIR HOME COUNTRY.

WE HAVE TO SECURE OUR SOUTHERN BORDER.

THAT'S AFFECTING THE LIVES OF THE PEOPLE ACROSS OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

>> THANK YOU.

JEFF, YOUR TURN.

>> THIS IS A QUESTION I WOULD CANDIDATES ON, BUT I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH SENATOR CRANE.

I HAVE HEARD A NUMBER OF THE CANDIDATES SAY THEY BELIEVE THAT LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION, WHICH LINES UP WITH THE CONCEPT OF PERSONHOOD WHICH ARGUES THAT EMBRYOS AND FETUSES HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS AS PEOPLE WHO HAVE BEEN BORN.

IF YOU SUPPORT PERSONHOOD, DOES THAT MEAN YOU WOULD SUPPORT A LAW ENSHRINING PERSONHOOD FEDERALLY, EVEN IF THAT MEANT MORE RESTRICTIONS ON IN VITRO FERTILIZATION AND ON ABORTION THAN WE HAVE TODAY?

>> EXCELLENT QUESTION.

THANK YOU FOR STARTING WITH ME ON THAT.

I'M VERY, VERY PRO LIFE.

I HELPED END TAXPAYER FUNDED ABORTION HERE IN GEORGIA THAT WAS BEING FUNDED THROUGH THE STATE HEALTH BENEFIT PLAN WHILE I WAS IN THE SENATE.

THAT'S SOMETHING I'M VERY HONORED TO HAVE BEEN PART OF AND MAKING SURE THAT HAPPENED.

YOU USED THE PHRASE ARGUMENT LIKE THERE'S AN ARGUMENT ABOUT WHEN LIFE BEGINS.

YOU KNOW, LIFE BEGINS AT THE MOMENT YOU CAN END IT.

I THINK AS EVERYBODY IN THE 3rd DISTRICT, AT LEAST THE PEOPLE I TALK TO -- I'VE TALKED TO A LOT OF FOLKS -- WHAT THEY TELL ME IS THAT WE SHOULD FIGHT TO PROTECT ALL LIFE AND DO EVERYTHING WE CAN TO PROTECT AND PRESERVE THAT.

I WILL STAND IN THAT POSITION AND HELP DO THAT NO MATTER WHERE I SERVE.

>> MR. BENNETT, WHAT'S YOUR TAKE?

>> I'M AGAINST KILLING.

I'M AGAINST 66 MILLION AMERICANS NOT EXISTING BECAUSE THEY ARE INCONVENIENT.

I'M AGAINST RECREATIONAL ABORTION.

I BELIEVE LIFE DOES EXIST THE MOMENT OF CONCEPTION.

THERE'S NO WIGGLE ROOM FOR ME.

I'M A DEFENDER OF LIFE.

I RUN TO GUNFIRE.

I SEE NO DIFFERENCE IN DEFENDING A LIFE THAT IS JUST CONCEIVED AND ONE THAT IS 35 YEARS OLD ON THE SIDE OF A ROAD.

I AM PRO LIFE, PERIOD, END OF STORY.

>> MIKE DUGAN?

>> I THINK YOU ARE GOING TO FIND EVERYBODY HERE ON THIS PANEL IS PRO LIFE.

WE'RE ALL STRONG BELIEVERS IN THE PRO LIFE MOVEMENT.

IT'S THE HEARTBEAT BILL.

WE PASSED THAT.

I'M THANKFUL THE SENATOR BROUGHT THAT FORWARD.

THE IN VITRO QUESTION, THAT'S A DEEPER QUESTION THAN WHAT WE ARE TALKING ABOUT.

I'M DEFENDING THAT PERSON -- THAT HUMAN WHERE THERE WERE THREE HUMANS INVOLVED IN THIS DECISION, IF YOU WANT TO CALL IT A DECISION.

TWO OF THEM HAD A SAY IN THE MATTER.

THE THIRD ONE DID NOT.

I WILL DEFEND THAT THIRD ONE EVERY TIME.

IN GEORGIA, WHAT WE DON'T TALK ABOUT AS MUCH IS THE NEED TO HELP WITH WOMEN'S HEALTH CARE TO IMPROVE THE INFANT MATERNAL MORTALITY RATE.

IT'S ABYSMAL.

THAT WAS ALSO PART OF THE HEARTBEAT BILL LEGISLATION THAT WENT THROUGH.

THERE'S MORE THAN JUST ONE SIDE OF THIS ISSUE.

WE HAVE TO FIGURE OUT HOW TO WHILE SAVING LIVES SAFE THE MOTHERS AND THE BABIES THAT ARE IN THE STATE NOW.

>> MR. JACK, THE FORMER PRESIDENT SEEMS TO SUGGEST REPUBLICANS MIGHT BE HURTING THEMSELVES POLITICALLY ON THIS ISSUE.

>> I WAS PROUD TO WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP TO NOMINATE AND CONFIRM THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES THAT DID WHAT NOBODY THOUGHT COULD BE DONE AND OVERTURN ROE V. WADE IN 2022.

BECAUSE OF THAT DECISION IN THE SUPREME COURT, GEORGIA LEADERS WERE ABLE TO ENACT THE HEARTBEAT BILL TO LET THE STATES DECIDE, LET THE VOTERS DECIDE, LET THE CITIZENS OF OUR STATE DECIDE WHAT THEY WANT TO DO AS IT RELATES TO BEING PRO LIFE.

I'M PRO LIFE.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS PRO LIFE.

I'M PROUD TO HAVE WORKED WITH HIM TO APPOINT AND CONFIRM THOSE THREE SUPREME COURT JUSTICES.

ANOTHER NOTE TO APPLAUD THE PEOPLE IN OUR LEGISLATURE THAT HEARD AND LISTENED TO THE VOTERS WITHIN THE STATE AND THE STATE DISTRICTS.

LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE IN THE CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICTS.

LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE THEY REPRESENT.

LET THEM GIVE THE ORDERS AND GO TO WASHINGTON AND FILL THEM OUT.

>> MR. SINGLETON?

>> LOOK, I'M PROUD TO BE RUNNING TO REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF THE 3rd DISTRICT, NOT D.C. ELITE AND NOT A PRESIDENT.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND WHERE THE PEOPLE OF THE 3rd DISTRICT ARE.

IT WASN'T A GOOD QUESTION, BECAUSE WHAT IT'S DOING IS PLAYING OFF OF FEARS TO TRY TO DIVIDE OUR PEOPLE.

WHAT THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT IS THE DOBB DECISION THAT CHANGED THE ABILITY TO LEGISLATE ON THIS ISSUE.

SHOULD CONGRESS DEAL WITH IT ON THE FEDERAL LEVEL?

THE CONSTITUTION SAYS LIFE, LIBERTY AND PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS.

WE SHOULD LEGISLATE ON IT.

LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION.

IF YOU BELIEVE LIFE BEGINS AT CONCEPTION, THEN WE SHOULD WANT A GOVERNMENT THAT FIGHTS TO PROTECT THE INNOCENT LIFE AT ALL TIMES.

THAT'S FROM CONCEPTION TO NATURAL DEATH.

THAT'S IMPORTANT.

THE LEFT IS TALKING ABOUT THIS ALABAMA SUPREME COURT RULING ON IVF.

THEY ARE IGNORING THE FACT THE CONSERVATIVES IN WASHINGTON, THE REPUBLICANS THAT ARE TRULY FIGHTING FOR LIFE, THEY ARE FIGHTING TO MAKE IVF ACCESSIBLE.

THERE'S THIS MONGERING GOING ON.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

ABBY, YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.

>> MY QUESTION IS FOR MR. DUGAN AND ANYBODY CAN RESPOND TO THIS QUESTION AFTER.

A RECENT POLL SHOWED AMERICANS ARE INCREASINGLY FRUSTRATED WITH CONGRESS.

THEY DON'T FEEL LIKE ANYTHING IS GETTING DONE.

WHEN IT COMES TO COMPROMISE, DO YOU FEEL LIKE THERE'S SOMETHING THAT YOU WOULD LIKE TO COMPROMISE WITH DEMOCRATS ON?

HOW WOULD YOU DO SO?

>> JUST COMPROMISING WITH DEMOCRATS.

WE HAVE TO COMPROMISE WITHIN OUR OWN PARTY.

WE ARE A FRACTURED PARTY.

CONGRESS HAS NOT GONE WELL FOR A WHILE BECAUSE WE ARE SO FRACTURED.

NOBODY WILL TALK TO ANYBODY BECAUSE IF YOU -- UNLESS YOU HIT A HOME RUN EVERY TIME, YOU ARE NOT SUCCESSFUL IN THE MINDS OF SOME.

THAT'S JUST NOT THE WAY ANY ORGANIZATION WORKS.

A REPUBLICAN IN WESTERN GEORGIA IS NOT GOING TO BE EXACTLY LIKE A REPUBLICAN IN NORTHERN MASSACHUSETTS.

BUT THEY'RE BOTH REPUBLICANS.

THEY BOTH HAVE AN END GOAL.

UNTIL WE CAN STOP THE INFIGHTING BETWEEN PARTIES AND WITHIN PARTIES, WE'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANYTHING DONE.

IT'S NICE TO BE ABLE TO SAY, I'M SO CONSERVATIVE, I VOTE NO ALL THE TIME.

THAT'S ACCOMPLISHING NOTHING.

WE GOT TO WORK TOGETHER WITHIN THE ELECTED OFFICIALS THAT REPRESENT THE DIFFERENT DISTRICTS WITHIN THE NATION AND ACTUALLY ACCOMPLISH WHAT THE PEOPLE ARE ASKING US TO DO.

>> ANYBODY ELSE WANT A SHOT AT THIS BEFORE WE MOVE ON?

>> AGAIN, THE LANGUAGE MATTERS.

WHAT YOU WANT IS COOPERATION NOT COMPROMISE.

YOU NEVER COMPROMISE.

THERE ARE PEOPLE THAT WILL TRY TO SHAME YOU INTO DOING THAT.

AS A CHIEF OF STAFF IN WASHINGTON, I KNOW AND I TAKE THE SOLDIER'S APPROPRIATE.

THERE'S AN INTEREST THAT HAS AN INTEREST IN DRAFTING LEGISLATION AND MAKING SOMETHING MOVE.

I GOTTA TELL YOU, THAT INTEREST IS ALMOST NEVER IN THE BEST INTEREST OF THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA'S 3rd DISTRICT.

THE GREAT IRONY IS, A LOT OF TIMES CONGRESS NOT GETTING ANYTHING DONE IS TO YOUR BENEFIT.

WHAT YOU ARE LOOKING ABOUT IS COOPERATION.

THERE'S A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF ABILITY to DO THAT IN CONGRESS.

YOU ARE SEEING THAT THIS YEAR.

I GOT DRAWN OUT OF MY DISTRICT BECAUSE I FOUGHT FOR THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM, I WAS STILL ABLE TO GET MORE LEGISLATION PASSED THAN THE FRESHMEN MEMBER AND MY SECOND YEAR, TOO.

IT'S ABOUT BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS AND FIGHTING FOR THINGS IMPORTANT.

IT'S NOT ABOUT COMPROMISING.

YOU SHOULD NEVER COMPROMISE.

>> MR. BENNETT?

>> 21 YEARS IN PROCUREMENT, MY LIFE WAS ALL ABOUT COMPROMISE.

IT'S FINDING THE PLACE WHERE YOU CAN ALLOW GOOD TO NOT GET IN THE WAY OF GREAT.

BUT THERE'S A LIMIT IN THAT.

THAT LIMIT IS THE DO NO HARM LIMIT.

YOU DO NOT DO HARM TO YOUR COMPANY OR YOUR CAUCUS.

I BELIEVE THAT'S THE POINT THAT WE HAVE TO REACH AS A CAUCUS IS THAT WE STOP GIVING UP ON ONLY THE GREAT.

WE ACCEPT THE GOOD.

AS LONG AS IT MOVES THE BALL DOWN THE FIELD.

THAT'S WHERE WE HAVE TO GET TO.

WE JUST HAVE TO BE PREPARED TO WALK AWAY WHEN WE NEED TO SO THAT WE DO NO HARM TO OUR CAUSE.

>> HOUSE SPEAKER MIKE JOHNSON, WAS THAT A REASONABLE COOPERATION, MR. CRANE, ON HIS PART?

WAS HE SACRIFICING TO GET THAT TOP LINE BUDGET DONE?

>> ONE OF THE DIFFICULT THINGS AS A SPEAKER'S POSITION IS WHEN YOU HAVE ELECTED CONGRESSMEN WHO ACTUALLY QUIT THEIR JOB.

IF YOU GET ELECTED TO OFFICE, I DON'T THINK QUITTING IS AN OPTION.

YOU HAVE YES AND NO BUTTONS TO VOTE ON AND YOU DON'T GET TO QUIT.

WHEN McCARTHY, WHO IS HEAVILY INVESTED IN THIS RACE RIGHT NOW AND TRYING TO PICK THE NEXT CONGRESSMAN FROM THE 3rd DISTRICT, WHEN McCARTHY LOST HIS PATH TO GLORY, HE DECIDED THAT HE WAS GOING TO QUIT.

I FIND THAT JUST ONE ABUSIVE OF HIS OWN CONSTITUENCY AND OF THE ENTIRE INSTITUTION OF THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES.

HE PUT SPEAKER JOHNSON IN A VERY, VERY DIFFICULT POSITION.

I THINK PEOPLE NEED TO QUIT QUITTING AND START FINISHING THE JOB THEY START.

>> MR. JACK?

>> THE GOOD NEWS WHEN IT COMES TO WHETHER OR NOT WE'RE ABLE TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE, DEMOCRATS ARE STARTING TO ADHERE TO AND EMBRACE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S POLICY POSITIONS.

AS I NOTED EARLIER TODAY, 40% OF DEMOCRATS NOW SUPPORT THE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S PLAN TO ENACT THE LARGEST DEPORTATION WHEN ELECTED.

AMERICA FIRST, WHAT VOTERS AT HOME, WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT AND WHAT YOU CARE ABOUT, THAT'S STARTING TO RESONATE ACROSS THE COUNTRY.

PEOPLE ARE REMINDED AND REMEMBER HOW SUCCESSFUL THEY WERE WHEN DONALD TRUMP WAS PRESIDENT AND WE WERE PUSHING FORTH HIS AGENDA.

THEY ARE REMINDED ABOUT HOW BAD IT HAS GOTTEN OVER THE LAST THREE YEARS.

WHEN I SAW 40% NOW SUPPORT WHAT AT THE TIME PEOPLE SAID WAS A CONTROVERSIAL POSITION, IT SHOWS THAT HOPEFULLY, THEY WILL WORK WITH ME AS YOUR NEXT CONGRESSMAN TO HELP MOVE PRESIDENT TRUMP'S AGENDA FORWARD.

>> STANLEY, IT'S YOUR TURN TO ASK A QUESTION.

>> I WILL START WITH MR. CRANE ON THIS ONE.

WHAT IS ONE SINGLE ISSUE THAT YOU WOULD HOPE TO ACCOMPLISH AS A FRESHMAN MEMBER OF CONGRESS?

>> MAKE SURE THE BORDER IS CLOSED.

MAKE SURE IMMIGRATION LAW IS WRITTEN CORRECTLY.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT PEOPLE DON'T RECOGNIZE IS IMMIGRATION LAW HAS NOT SIGNIFICANTLY CHANGED AT ALL BETWEEN PRESIDENT TRUMP AND PRESIDENT BIDEN.

THE STATUS AT THE BORDER IS DRAMATICALLY DIFFERENT.

THIS IS INTOLERABLE.

WE NEED TO WRITE LAWS IN CONGRESS IN SEARCH A WAY THAT ADMINISTRATIONS ARE NOT ABLE TO VARY THE APPLICATION OF THOSE LAWS TO THE DEGREE THAT WE SEE.

WE WENT FROM A SECURE BORDER TO AN INVASION IN A MATTER OF A FEW YEARS WITHOUT A SINGLE CHANGE IN THE LAW.

WE HAVE TO CLOSE THE BORDER.

WE HAVE TO START DEPORTING THOSE WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY AND SENDING A BILL WITH THEM TO THEIR COUNTRY OF ORIGIN AND RESTORE ORDER IN OUR IMMIGRATION POLICIES.

>> MR. BENNETT?

>> YES, SIR, I AGREE WITH MIKE.

I WENT TO THE BORDER IN NOVEMBER OF LAST YEAR.

IT WAS NOT WHAT I EXPECTED.

I'M A NUMBERS GUY.

WHEN I GET THERE, I'M THINKING $451 BILLION SPENT ON ILLEGAL ALIENS.

WHEN I ARRIVED, I SAW A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.

UNMARKED GRAVES.

THEN I SAW A WOMAN CARRYING A CHILD ACROSS A RIVER.

SHE'S 4 1/2 FEET TALL AND THE RIVER IS 3 1/2, 4 FEET DEEP.

THERE'S 12 FEET OF WIRE BETWEEN ME AND HER.

IF SHE SLIPS, THAT BABY IS GOING UNDER THE WATER.

I'M NOT GOING TO BE ABLE TO SAVE THEM, BECAUSE I CAN'T GET TO THEM.

IT BECAME VERY PERSONAL AT THAT MOMENT.

AS 100,000 AMERICANS DIE EVERY YEAR BECAUSE OF THAT BORDER.

AND FENTANYL AND METH USE.

THE BORDER ABSOLUTELY MUST BE CLOSED.

THE LARGEST DEPORTATION EFFORT THAT OUR COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD MUST BE INSTITUTED IMMEDIATELY.

>> WOULD YOU LIKE A SHOT AT THIS QUESTION OR CAN WE MOVE ON?

>> WE ALL LIKE TO TALK ABOUT THE BORDER.

IT'S UP TO YOU.

>> GO AHEAD.

>> LOOK, THE BORDER IS A BIG ISSUE.

I DON'T KNOW IF WE WILL TALK ABOUT IT MORE.

AS A STATE LEGISLATOR, THAT'S WHY I WROTE GEORGIA'S ANTI-SANCTUARY CITY LAW.

IT'S IMPORTANT WE DON'T JUST TALK ABOUT THINGS IN STORIES.

YOU EXPECT US TO DO SOMETHING.

NOT REPRESENT SOMEBODY ELSE BUT REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA.

MAKE SURE ONLY U.S. CITIZENS VOTE IN ELECTIONS IN GEORGIA.

THESE THINGS ARE IMPORTANT.

I DON'T KNOW IF I WILL GET THE MOST IMPORTANT QUESTION, BUT WE HAVEN'T TALKED ABOUT OUR NATIONAL DEBT, WHICH IS A CRISIS FOR THIS COUNTRY AND SOMETHING THAT BY THE WAY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, ARTICLE I POWERS, THAT'S A RESPONSIBILITY OF CONGRESS.

EVERYTHING WE TALK ABOUT TODAY, EVERYTHING YOU WILL HEAR GENERAL IDEAS, I WOULD LOVE TO DO THIS, THE WAY WE GET THAT DONE IS THROUGH THE APPROPRIATIONS PROCESS WITH THE 12 APPROPRIATIONS BILLS, THE BUDGET PROCESS IS THE POWER IN WASHINGTON, D.C. YOU GOTTA SEND SOMEONE THAT KNOWS HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS AND CAN MAKE THINGS HAPPEN.

>> MR. JACK, YOU KNOW AS WELL AS ANYBODY, BETTER THAN MOST, THAT WHEN YOU CUT TAXES AND DON'T CUT SPENDING, THAT INCREASES THE DEBT.

>> YEAH.

TO YOUR QUESTION AS IT RELATES TO WHAT I WANT TO ACCOMPLISH IF ELECTED TO CONGRESS, IN ADDITION TO SECURING THE BORDER AND FIXING OUR ECONOMY, ONE THING I'M PASSIONATE ABOUT IS ENDING THE TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF JUSTICE.

IT SHOULD CONCERN EACH AND EVERY ONE OF US AS AMERICANS THAT THE REPUBLICAN NOMINEE FOR PRESIDENT IS BEING HAULED INTO A COURTROOM IN MANHATTAN EVERY DAY OVER THE LAST COUPLE WEEKS AND EVERY DAY FOR THE FORESEEABLE FUTURE.

THERE'S A TWO-TIERED SYSTEM OF JUSTICE.

WE IN CONGRESS, IF YOU ELECT ME, WE HAVE TWO TOOLS TO HOLD THOSE ACCOUNTABLE THAT ARE PREVENTING THAT SYSTEM OF JUSTICE.

THE POWER OF THE PURSE, AND YOU CAN USE THE POWER OF THE SUBPOENA TO HOLD THOSE ACCOUNTABLE.

WE MUST DO THIS NEXT CONGRESS IS END THE WEAPONIZATION OF JUSTICE AND RESTORE CONFIDENCE IN OUR JUSTICE SYSTEM.

>> SENATOR DUGAN?

>> EVERYBODY IS GOING TO TALK ABOUT THE BORDER.

THEY WANT TO DISCUSS THAT TO NO END.

IT'S NOT JUST A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS.

IT'S A HUMANITARIAN CRISIS, IT'S A LOCAL LAW ENFORCEMENT CRISIS, AND IT'S A NATIONAL SECURITY CRISIS.

WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE IN EARLY JANUARY, MEETING WITH A GROUP DOWN THERE, THEY SAID WHICH WALL DO YOU WANT TO SEE?

DO YOU WANT TO SEE THE BUSH WALL, THE OBAMA WALL, OR THE TRUMP WALL?

WHAT THEY DIDN'T MENTION ANYWHERE ON THERE WAS THE BIDEN WALL.

WE HAVE A PRESIDENT -- AN ADMINISTRATION THAT IS WORKING AGAINST STATES TRYING TO SECURE THEIR OWN BORDERS BECAUSE THEY FEEL THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT HAS FAILED THEM.

WE CAN'T CONTINUE TO DO THAT.

WE GOT TO SHUT DOWN THE BORDER AND THEN LOOK AT LEGITIMATE IMMIGRATION REFORM THAT THIS NATION NEEDS.

THEY ARE TWO SEPARATE THINGS.

SHUT IT DOWN FIRST AND THEN LET'S LOOK INTO REFORM.

>> THANK YOU.

JEFF, YOUR QUESTION.

>> THIS IS A QUESTION I WOULD LIKE TO HEAR FROM EVERYONE ON.

I WOULD LIKE TO START WITH MR. JACK.

IF YOU WERE ELECTED, WOULD YOU JOIN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS?

WHY OR WHY NOT?

>> IF ELECTED, I WOULD WANT TO ASK THE VOTERS, WOULD YOU WANT ME TO JOIN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS?

ONE THING IS I DON'T WANT TO HAND MY VOTE OVER TO ANYBODY ELSE.

I WANT MY VOTE TO BELONG THE VOTERS.

I'M PROUDLY ENDORSED BY JIM JORDAN, THE FOUNDER OF THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.

I WANT TO ASK THE VOTERS, DO YOU WANT ME TO TRY TO JOIN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS?

WOULD THEY INVITE ME?

THAT'S UP TO THEM.

>> NO NEED TO USE A FULL MINUTE, BUT MR. SINGLETON, WOULD YOU JOIN?

>> YEAH.

LISTEN TO MR. JACK'S ANSWER AND IT'S TERRIFYING.

IT'S A POPULIST ANSWER.

WE HAVE A REPRESENTATIVE DEMOCRACY.

I WOULD JOIN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.

I MAKE SURE I TELL THE TRUTH TO MY VOTERS THAT I WOULD JOIN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.

I LAUNCHED A STATE FREEDOM CAUCUS.

I CALL IT THE CONSCIENCE OF THE PARTY.

YOU SEE IT IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

THEY STAND UP AND SAY, THIS IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

WHICH CONGRESS OFTEN FORGETS.

IS THIS THE PROPER ROLE OF THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT?

IF IT'S NOT, THEN THEY NEED TO NOT DO THOSE THINGS.

THE FREEDOM CAUCUS IS SOMETHING I WOULD JOIN.

>> SENATOR DUGAN, DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS?

>> I WAS NOT.

I WAS ASKED THIS TWO SATURDAYS AGO.

I'M NOT GOING TO WASHINGTON TO JOIN A FRATERNITY.

JUST BECAUSE YOU ARE NOT IN THE CAUCUS DOESN'T MEAN YOU CAN'T VOTE THE SAME WAY A MAJORITY OF THE TIME.

THAT JUST MEANS THAT THE VOTE -- THE PEOPLE WHO VOTE ME INTO THE 3rd CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT, THAT'S WHO I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR IN HOW I VOTE.

NOT A GROUP OF PEOPLE FROM ANOTHER AREA WHO SAY, THIS IS OUR POSITION, THIS IS THE WAY WE'RE GOING TO VOTE.

NO.

>> SENATOR CRANE?

>> LET'S BE CLEAR, IT'S OBVIOUS THAT -- WHOEVER GETS ELECTED IS GOING TO JOIN THE REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.

SO WE'RE ALL GOING TO BE MEMBERS OF A CAUCUS.

THE QUESTION IS, WOULD I JOIN THE FREEDOM CAUCUS IF INVITED?

I WOULD.

THE QUESTION I THINK YOU ASKED WAS WHY.

THE WHY FOR THAT IS BECAUSE RIGHT NOW THE ONLY GROUP, ONLY CAUCUS OF MEMBERS UP IN WASHINGTON THAT IS ACTUALLY TRYING TO AFFECT POSITIVE CHANGE FOR OUR NATION AND FOR THE 3rd DISTRICT IS THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.

I WOULD BE HONORED TO SERVE ALONGSIDE THEM IN SHAPING THE FUTURE FOR OUR NATION.

>> MR. BENNETT?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

I WOULD JOIN WITHOUT RESERVATION IF THEY WILL HAVE ME.

THEY ARE THE MOST CONSISTENT AND MOST VOCAL AND MOST CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS IN WASHINGTON AND I WOULD BE PROUD TO BE WITH THEM.

>> I HAVE A QUESTION FOR ALL OF YOU.

THE FORMER PRESIDENT CONTINUES TO INSIST THAT THE LAST ELECTION WAS STOLEN.

A SHOW OF HANDS.

WHO HERE THINKS THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS THE RIGHTFUL WINNER OF THE ELECTION IN GEORGIA IN 2020?

OKAY.

ALL OF YOU.

AS YOU KNOW, SECRETARY RAFFENSPERGER TOLD ANYBODY WHO WILL LISTEN THAT 33,000 GEORGIA REPUBLICANS VOTED FOR CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES, REPUBLICAN CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES AND DID NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP AT THE TOP.

19,000 VOTED FOR SENATOR PURDUE WHO DID NOT VOTE FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP.

WHERE IS THE FRAUD?

MR. JACK, LET'S BEGIN WITH YOU.

>> FIRST AND FOREMOST, I THINK ONE THING THAT SHOULD CONCERN ALL OF US IS IN 2020, YOU HAD A RADICAL OVERHAUL ON SYSTEMATIC CHANGE TO THE WAY 330 MILLION AMERICANS VOTED.

I WOULD LIKE TO APPLAUD GEORGIA'S LEADERS.

THEY LISTENED TO THE VOTERS AND WORKED TO STRENGTHEN OUR ELECTION SYSTEM.

ONE THING WE DIDN'T HAVE THAT WE MUST HAVE, WE MUST MANDATE PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP WHEN YOU VOTE.

AMERICAN CITIZENS SHOULD VOTE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS.

IT'S A SIMPLE THING.

PHILIP MENTIONED HIS WORK ON THAT IN THE STATE LEGISLATURE.

IT'S NOT CODIFIED AT THE FEDERAL LEVEL.

WE MUST DO THAT.

WE MUST ENSURE AMERICAN CITIZENS VOTE IN AMERICAN ELECTIONS TO SECURE OUR ELECTION GOING FORWARD.

I APPLAUD GEORGIA'S LEADERS FOR LISTENING TO THE VOTERS AND CONCERNS FROM YEARS PAST.

>> MR. SINGLETON, IT WAS REPUBLICANS IN THE LEGISLATURE WHO APPROVED NO EXCUSE ABSENTEE BALLOTING 20 YEARS AGO IN THE STATE.

>> YOU ARE MISSING 2020.

I WAS THE ONLY PERSON IN THE STATE OF 236 LEGISLATORS THAT VOTED OVER THE QR CODES.

THE WHOLE POINT WITH THAT WAS TRYING TO GET -- SO MANY LAWSUITS WERE BROUGHT.

WE COULDN'T GET DISCOVERY.

YOU CAN COUNT THE SAME FRAUDULENT BALLOTS OVER AND OVER.

GETTING TO COUNT THE BALLOT ENVELOPES.

THERE ARE 100,000 ENVELOPES, THERE ARE 100,000 THAT ARE LEGAL.

JUST TO GO ABOUT THE LAST QUESTION, THERE'S A LOT OF MISINFORMATION THAT GOES OUT ABOUT THE FREEDOM CAUCUS.

NOT TO BELABOR THE POINT, PERSONNEL IS POLICY IN WASHINGTON, D.C.

THE FREEDOM CAUCUS ISN'T ABOUT A CLUB.

IT'S ABOUT RESOURCES TO DIG INTO THE CONSTITUTIONALITY OF THE LANGUAGE OF THE BILLS.

IF YOU REPRESENT THE PRESIDENT IN CONGRESS, YOU REPRESENT THE LEADERSHIP IN CONGRESS, YOU WANT TO GET ELECTED TO BE CHAIR OF A COMMITTEE, YOU DON'T NEED THOSE RESOURCES.

IF YOU WANT TO FIGHT FOR THE PEOPLE OF YOUR DISTRICT AND MAKE SURE YOU BELIEVE IN CONSTITUTIONAL GOVERNMENT, YOU NEED THOSE RESOURCES.

>> MR. BENNETT, IS THIS NEXT ELECTION COMING UP IN NOVEMBER GOING TO BE FAIR AND SAFE IN GEORGIA?

>> THAT'S A VERY INTERESTING QUESTION.

I'M GOING TO ANSWER THE ORIGINAL QUESTION FIRST.

147,000 BALLOTS THAT FULTON COUNTY COMMISSIONER SAID WERE COUNTED WITHOUT VERIFICATION.

PEOPLE SAY THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT ELECTION FRAUD EXISTED.

NO ONE IS DISPUTING HIS STATEMENTS EITHER.

THEY SHOW THE NEW BALLOT COUNTING APPARATUS, THE MAIL-IN APPARATUS THEY WILL USE IN ARIZONA THIS YEAR.

IT'S A MACHINE THAT IS VERIFYING SIGNATURES FASTER THAN THREE PER SECOND.

I DO NOT WANT A WORLD WHERE A MACHINE IS VERIFYING OR COUNTING BALLOTS AND TELLING ME WHAT THE RESULT IS BECAUSE I CANNOT ISSUE A SUBPOENA TO A MACHINE AND HAVE IT TELL ME EXACTLY WHAT IT DID AND HOW IT DID IT.

THAT'S THE PROBLEM.

THAT'S THE FRAUD.

AS LONG AS THE MACHINES ARE IN THE SAUCE, THEN YOU ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW IF YOUR ELECTION IS VALID OR NOT.

>> FAIR ENOUGH.

THE SECRETARY OF STATE WOULD SAY THAT HAND COUNTING IS LESS ACCURATE.

SENATOR CRANE, LET'S HEAR FROM YOU.

>> SOME OF WHAT YOU SAID EARLY ON IN THE QUESTION WAS INSINUATING IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN THE WAY REPUBLICANS VOTED ON THE BALLOT THAT AFFECTED THE OUTCOME.

CERTAINLY, IT HAD SOME AFFECT.

WHAT HAD THE GREATEST WAS WHEN RAFFENSPERGER ILLEGALLY CREATED ALL THE UNMANNED, UNWATCHED DROP BOXES AND THE HARVESTING THAT WENT ON BECAUSE OF HIS FAILURE OF POLICY.

HE CREATED SO MANY VULNERABILITIES IN THE ELECTION THAT YEAR THAT THERE WAS NO WAY THERE WOULD BE A RIGHT OUTCOME.

WHAT PRESIDENT TRUMP NEVER GOT HIS DAY IN COURT, WHICH IS AN ABOMINATION AND A SMEAR ON THE STATE OF GEORGIA THAT NEEDS TO BE RECTIFIED AT SOME POINT.

>> SENATOR DUGAN?

>> PROOF OF CITIZENSHIP IS THE LAW IN GEORGIA ALREADY FOR VOTING.

THE DROP BOXES, HE WASN'T THE ONE THAT DID THE DROP BOXES.

THAT WAS THE COUNTIES.

WHAT WE DID WAS DO AWAY WITH THE WAY THEY WERE HANDLED.

THEY WERE AN ISSUE.

WHAT SECRETARY RAFFENSPERGER DID DO WAS THE MASS MAILING OF ABSENTEE BALLOTS THAT WERE NOT REQUESTED.

THAT WAS NOT IN OUR CODE.

ALL THESE THINGS WERE ADDRESSED TO RECTIFY SO IT DOESN'T HAPPEN AGAIN.

EVEN SOMETHING AS SIGNATURE MATCH -- >> WE'RE OUT OF TIME.

AMY.

>> SEVERAL OF YOU ON THE STAGE, I HAVE SEEN YOUR COMMENTS CRITICIZING DREW FERGUSON AND SOME OF HIS CRITICAL VOTES.

WHAT WOULD THE MEMBERS OF DISTRICT 3 BE GETTING WITH YOU THAT THEY DON'T HAVE CURRENTLY IN CONGRESS?

I CAN START OFF WITH MR. JACK.

>> THE ONE THING I WOULD DO IF ELECTED TO CONGRESS IS I WOULD PUT MY HEAD DOWN AND DO THE JOB THAT YOU HIRED ME TO DO AS VOTERS OF OUR CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

THAT'S WHAT I DID WORKING FOR PRESIDENT TRUMP FOR THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.

YOU NEVER SAW MY NAME IN THE HEADLINES.

I PUT MY HEAD DOWN AND DID THE JOB IN FRONT OF US.

THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING WE CAN DO AS MEMBERS OF CONGRESS IS TRY TO MOVE THE BALL FORWARD AND PUSH AHEAD TO ENACT THAT AMERICA FIRST AGENDA THAT SECURED OUR BORDER AND ENABLED US TO HAVE PROSPERITY.

ONE THING YOU CAN EXPECT FROM ME IS SOMEBODY THAT WILL PUT THEIR HEAD DOWN AND DO EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO ADHERE TO YOUR WILL AND WHAT YOU WANT TO SEE IN OUR NEXT CONGRESS.

>> MR. SINGLETON, OBVIOUSLY, CONGRESSMAN FERGUSON WAS A RISING STAR.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO DIFFERENTLY?

>> THIS RACE IS NOT ABOUT DREW FERGUSON.

THIS IS ABOUT WHO THE PEOPLE WANT TO REPRESENT THEM.

WE'RE AT A DEBATE AND TRYING TO HEAR STUFF -- SB202 THAT SENATOR DUGAN TALKED ABOUT CODIFIED INTO LAW THE DROP BOXES.

THE STATUTE DOESN'T ALLOW ILLEGAL ALIENS TO VOTE.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT FOR YOU -- TO ANSWER THE QUESTION, IT'S ABOUT SENDING A MEMBER TO CONGRESS THAT LOOKS YOU IN THE EYE AND SAYS, THIS IS WHAT I BELIEVE AND THEN DOESN'T GO SIT IN CONGRESS AND WAIT FOR AN OPPORTUNITY TO VOTE ON SOMETHING ALIGNED WITH WHAT YOU BELIEVE SO I CAN PRETEND LIKE I'M A CONSERVATIVE.

IT'S ABOUT SOMEONE THAT WILL GO TO WASHINGTON AND TAKE A SOLDIER'S APPROACH AND FIGHT ON THE BATTLEFIELD FOR WHAT'S BEST FOR YOU AND GO UP THERE AND WRITE LEGISLATION THAT'S ALIGNED WITH THE VALUES OF THE DISTRICT THAT SENT US.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO HAVE A WARRIOR TO ACHIEVE RESULTS.

>> SENATOR DUGAN?

>> THEY DO WANT SOMEBODY TO GO AND REPRESENT THEIR VALUES, SOMEBODY THAT GREW UP IN THAT DISTRICT, SOMEBODY THAT'S LIVED THERE, EXCEPT FOR MY 20 YEARS IN THE ARMY, LIVED IN WHAT IS NOW THE 3rd CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT.

IT'S CHANGED OVER THE YEARS.

WHAT THEY WANT IS A PROVEN LEADER THAT THEY CAN SEE -- THEY CAN POINT TO ACTUALLY GOT STUFF DONE WHILE SERVING IN THE LEGISLATURE.

NOT SOMEBODY WHO IS A LOUD SQUEAKING WHEEL.

SOMEBODY THAT GOT RESULTS.

SOMEBODY THAT THEY KNOW WILL STAY IN TOUCH WITH THEM WHEN THEY'RE GONE THAT WON'T DISAPPEAR AS SOON AS THEY GET ELECTED.

THAT'S WHAT THEY'RE LOOKING FOR.

>> SENATOR CRANE?

>> I THINK IT WAS A VERY GOOD QUESTION, AND I THINK AS I UNDERSTOOD IT, WHAT SHOULD THE PEOPLE OF THE 3rd DISTRICT EXPECT DIFFERENT OUT OF THEIR NEXT CONGRESSMAN?

IF YOU ELECT ME, WHAT YOU SHOULD EXPECT IS SOMEBODY THAT DOESN'T GO TO WASHINGTON TO GET ON TO SOMEBODY ELSE'S COATTAILS TO MAKE IT TO SOME HIGHER OFFICE OR SOME OTHER THING.

WHEN THOSE COATTAILS DISAPPEAR, THEY FIND THE NEXT BEST THING.

THEY WILL NOT FIND THAT WITH ME.

I'VE BEEN BUILDING THE DISTRICT.

IT'S MY HOME.

I WILL COME HOME ALL THE TIME SO THE PEOPLE OF THE 3rd DISTRICT WILL SEE ME ON A REGULAR BASIS.

>> MR. BENNETT?

>> I ENTERED THIS RACE ON JULY 4th, 2023, BECAUSE SPECIFICALLY OF DR. FERGUSON'S VOTING RECORD.

IN 2018, HE VOTED AGAINST THE BORDER REFORM AND IMMIGRATION REFORM BILL.

IN 2021, HE VOTED FOR NANCY PELOSI'S OMNIBUS SPENDING BILL WHICH INCREASED THE SIZE AND SCOPE OF GOVERNMENT BY 40%.

I WON'T DO EITHER OF THOSE THINGS.

I ALSO WON'T VOTE FOR EVERY SINGLE DEBT CEILING INCREASE AS DR. FERGUSON DID FOR THE ENTIRETY OF HIS TENURE.

THOSE ARE THE THINGS THAT I WON'T DO TO BE DIFFERENT THAN DR. FERGUSON.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

LET ME ASK THE PRODUCERS, DO WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE MORE QUESTION?

OKAY.

GOOD.

STANLEY, WE HAVE TIME FOR ONE QUESTION TO ONE CANDIDATE.

>> HOW ABOUT I DO THE SHOW OF HANDS?

WE HAVE SEEN SOME FUNDING GOING TOWARDS THE ISRAELI WAR EFFORTS.

DO YOU SUPPORT THE U.S. GOVERNMENT CONTINUING TO HELP FUND THE MILITARY CAMPAIGN?

>> ISRAEL?

>> ISRAEL?

>> ABSOLUTELY.

>> HOW ABOUT UKRAINE?

OKAY.

UNANIMOUS IN BOTH DIRECTIONS.

THAT'S ALL THE TIME WE HAVE FOR QUESTIONS.

THE CANDIDATES WILL NOW HAVE 60 SECONDS FOR A CLOSING STATEMENT.

PHILIP SINGLETON, YOU GET THE FIRST CLOSING STATEMENT.

>> SURE.

YOU SAW IT'S DIFFICULT TO CODIFY COMPLEX QUESTIONS INTO SOUND BITES.

WHAT'S IMPORTANT TO ME, I'M AN ARMY SOLDIER, CONSERVATIVE WARRIOR.

I'VE BEEN WILLING TO FIGHT ON THE BATTLEFIELD AND THE LEGISLATURE FOR WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE PEOPLE.

I'M MARRIED TO MY MIDDLE SCHOOL SWEETHEART.

WE HAVE FOUR KIDS.

I HAVE LIVED IN GEORGIA'S 3rd DISTRICT EXCEPT WHEN I WAS SERVING MY COUNTRY.

I'VE BEEN HONORED TO SERVE MY COUNTRY IN THE SERVICE AND THE CHIEF OF STAFF IN CONGRESS.

IT'S IMPORTANT TO BE ABLE TO SEND PEOPLE THAT KNOW HOW TO GET THINGS DONE.

DON'T BUY INTO THE RHETORIC THAT YOU HAVE TO BE GO ALONG AND GET ALONG TO GET THINGS DONE.

STATESMANSHIP MATTERS.

I ALWAYS WILL FIGHT FOR ISSUES AND NOT FIGHT AGAINST PEOPLE.

WILL FOCUS ON WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE DISTRICT AND REPRESENT THE PEOPLE OF GEORGIA'S 3rd.

I LOOK FORWARD TO EARNING YOUR VOTE.

>> THANK YOU.

MR. BENNETT, TIME FOR YOUR CLOSING STATEMENT.

>> MY CAMPAIGN IS ABOUT LIFE.

FOR YOUR LIFE, I WILL SEE THE BORDER CLOSED.

I WILL VOTE NO AGAINST EVERYTHING UNTIL THAT IS TAKEN CARE OF.

I WILL SEE DEPORTATIONS OCCUR.

I WILL FIGHT FOR THAT.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR POLICE FUNDED, YOUR COURTS FUNDED, YOUR PRISONS FUNDED, THEN I'M YOUR MAN.

IF YOU WANT TO SEE YOUR MILITARY MORE LETHAL, MERIT-BASED, THEN I'M YOUR MAN.

FOR LIBERTY.

I BELIEVE YOUR RIGHTS ARE GRANTED BY YOUR CREATOR AND NOT YOUR GOVERNMENT.

AND FOR HAPPINESS.

I WANT TO SEE OUR ECONOMY EXPLODE AGAIN.

I WANT TO SEE AMERICA LEAD THE WORLD IN MANUFACTURING, WHICH IS WHAT I DID.

WE WILL DRILL, BABY, DRILL, REDUCE THE SCOPE OF GOVERNMENT.

I HAVE LIVED, LOVED AND FOUGHT FOR THE 3rd DISTRICT.

LET ME PROTECT AND SERVE YOU ONE MORE TIME.

>> THANK YOU.

BRIAN JACK.

>> THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR WATCHING AND THANK YOU FOR GIVING US AN OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE OUR VISION.

ONE OF THE THINGS THAT I ENJOY MOST ABOUT THIS CAMPAIGN IS I'M RUNNING A POSITIVE CAMPAIGN.

I'M PROUD OF THAT BECAUSE I DON'T BELIEVE THAT I SHOULD TEAR SOMEONE ELSE DOWN TO BUILD MYSELF UP.

EVERYBODY ON THE STAGE HAS SHOWN KINDNESS TO ME OVER THE LAST 48 HOURS.

I'M GRATEFUL FOR THAT.

I SPENT A LOT OF TIME TALKING ABOUT MY WORK WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP OVER THE LAST EIGHT YEARS.

I'M PROUD TO BE ENDORSED BY PRESIDENT TRUMP.

I GOT MY START WORKING AT PEACH TREE CITY HALL.

GOVERNMENT MUST BE ACCOUNTABLE TO ITS VOTERS AND THE RESIDENTS.

IF YOU WORK AT PEACH TREE CITY HALL, YOU HAVE TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE NEIGHBORS DOWN THE STREET OR THE FOLKS AT THE GROCERY CHECKOUT LINE.

THAT'S WHAT WE NEED MORE OF.

WE NEED MORE ACCOUNTABILITY.

I ENCOURAGE YOU TO LEARN MORE ABOUT ME AND MY CAMPAIGN.

VISIT BRIANJACK.COM.

I WOULD BE HONORED TO EARN YOUR VOTE.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

>> THANK YOU.

SENATOR DUGAN.

>> THANK YOU.

AS YOU HAVE HEARD UP HERE, EVERYBODY UP HERE IS A STRONG CONSERVATIVE.

THE DIFFERENCE IS, I'M THE ONLY ONE THAT HAS WORKED AND DELIVERED RESULTS.

I'M NOT JUST GOING SOMEPLACE TO VOTE NO ALL THE TIME.

I'M RUNNING FOR CONGRESS BECAUSE I'VE ALWAYS BEEN DRIVEN BY A SENSE OF DUTY AND A FOCUS ON RESULTS.

DURING MY TIME AS AN ARMY RANGER, I LEARNED A LOT ABOUT LEADERSHIP.

I LEARNED LEADERSHIP MEANS MAKING TOUGH DECISIONS.

IT MEANS WORKING FOR OTHERS.

IT MEANS ADMITTING WHEN YOU ARE WRONG AND NOT MAKING THE SAME MISTAKE TWICE.

I CARRIED THOSE LEADERSHIP LESSONS WITH ME AS MAJORITY LEADER IN THE GEORGIA SENATE.

WE CUT YOUR STATE TAXES THREE TIMES AND STILL RETURNED AN ADDITIONAL $2 BILLION TO HARDWORKING GEORGIANS.

WE PROTECTED THE SANCTITY OF LIFE.

WE PROTECTED SECOND AMENDMENT RIGHTS.

WE PASSED THE MOST RIGOROUS ELECTION INTEGRITY BILL IN THE COUNTRY, AND WE CREATED A PRO-JOBS, PRO-FAMILY CLIMATE IN GEORGIA THAT'S THE ENVY OF THE UNITED STATES.

>> THANK YOU.

>> I'M MIKE DUGAN, SEND ME TO CONGRESS.

>> SENATOR CRANE.

>> THANK YOU, EVERYONE, FOR WATCHING.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR THE OPPORTUNITY TO TELL A LITTLE BIT OF OUR STORY.

IT WASN'T THAT LONG AGO -- ACTUALLY, IT WAS.

A LITTLE OVER 40 YEARS AGO, MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE AND I MET JUST ACROSS THE STREET HERE ON THE GEORGIA TECH CAMPUS AND BEGAN BUILDING OUR YOUNG LIVES RIGHT HERE IN 3rd DISTRICT.

WE STAYED IN THE DISTRICT AND BEEN HONORED TO MAKE IT OUR HOME.

40 YEARS AGO, THE WORLD WASN'T THAT DIFFERENT THAN IT IS TODAY.

THE IRANIANS HELD AMERICANS HOSTAGES IN THE MIDDLE EAST.

COMMUNISM WAS ON THE RISE.

THEN WE ELECTED RONALD REAGAN AND EVERYTHING WAS CHANGED.

THIS ELECTION IS EQUALLY AS IMPORTANT.

I'M MIKE CRANE AND I'M ASKING TO BE YOUR REPRESENTATIVE IN WASHINGTON.

GO TO CRANEFORCONGRESS.COM AND FIND OUT MORE.

GO VOTE EARLY AND GET THE JOB DONE.

>> THANKS TO ALL OF YOU FOR PARTICIPATING IN THIS AFTERNOON'S DEBATE.

WE APPRECIATE YOU VERY MUCH.

THAT DOES CONCLUDE OUR PROGRAM.

WE WOULD LIKE TO REMIND VOTERS, EARLY VOTING BEGINS APRIL 29th.

IF YOU ARE WATCHING IT ON SUNDAY, THAT'S TOMORROW, AND ELECTION DAY IS TUESDAY, MAY 21st.

THANKS TO THE CANDIDATES AND OUR PANEL.

WE WOULD LIKE TO THANK THE ATLANTA PRESS CLUB AND GEORGIA PUBLIC BROADCASTING FOR ARRANGING TODAY'S MORE.
