ICYMI: Reverend Warnock Continues “One More Time” Runoff Tour

Atlanta, GA — This weekend, Reverend Warnock continued his “One More Time” runoff tour with stops in Rome, Hiram, Fayetteville, and Covington, where he encouraged Georgians to vote on or by December 6th in the runoff election. Warnock supporters also gathered to kick off the first day of early voting in Douglas County. 

Reverend Warnock hosted a meet and greet in Rome.

Rome News-Tribune: Warnock goes on the attack during stump speech in Rome

• Sen. Raphael Warnock gave a fiery stump speech in Rome at Thankful Missionary Baptist Church on Tuesday morning. Warnock, a Democrat, blasted his opponent, the Republican candidate Herschel Walker, as a “pathological liar.”

• “Walker is showing us who he is by constantly claiming to be somebody he’s not,” he said. Warnock highlighted instances where Walker has made statements claiming to be a police officer, an FBI agent, a business mogul with 800 employees and, finally, a graduate of the University of Georgia. None of those statements are true.

• Warnock also spoke about healthcare, highlighting provisions to lower prescription drug costs for people with Medicare and reduce drug spending in the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, including capping insulin costs at $35 a month.

• “Maybe Walker has a prescription plan for vampires and werewolves, because it’s obvious he doesn’t have one for the people of Georgia,” Warnock said, referring to the Republican’s rambling story about the mythical creatures during a Nov. 16 speech in McDonough.

• Warnock was introduced by Charles Graves, former executive director of Georgia’s Democratic Party. Graves recalled fondly his extensive time in Washington, D.C., during a time where congeniality among politicians was the norm.

• “We need to bring our country back together,” said Graves. “Warnock can work across the aisle and bring civility back.”

Warnock supporters gathered to kick off the first day of early voting in Douglas County.

Aungelique Proctor, Fox 5: “There was lots of enthusiasm as Georgia’s Democratic Party helped Douglas County kickoff voting in the U.S. Senate race. Democratic Party Chair and Fifth District Congresswoman says the choice for Senator Raphael Warnock is clear, even in a runoff, where turnout is not expected to be high.”

Rep. Nikema Williams: “We were counted out in 2020 and in those 2021 runoffs, we showed back up in force to make sure that we sent the best person to represent Georgia to the United States Senate and that’s exactly what we’re going to do again in exactly two weeks.” 

Aungelique Proctor, Fox 5: “Douglas County election officials say voter access is their top priority.”

Milton Kidd, Douglas County Board of Elections: “Douglas County Board of Elections prides itself on being the gold standard of elections, and part of being that gold standard is making sure that our voters have every opportunity possible to cast their ballot.”

Aungelique Proctor, Fox 5: “Douglas County residents braved nippy temperatures to lift their voice.”

Dr. Lesli Walker, Douglas County Voter: “I’m so glad and proud of Douglas County to be doing this, because it’s just showing that we’re serious about the vote.”

Terry Cohea, Douglas County Voter: “It’s important because I’m learning that early voting seems to work.”
