We just launched a new TV ad.
I’ve spent my career taking on Antifa, domestic terrorism, gangs, human traffickers, and woke DAs who put politics ahead of public safety.
I’m ready to bring that same leadership to the governor’s office and keep Georgia safe.

This is exactly my problem. Tech arrives as an option and ends up as an obligation.
As an option, it is mostly benign. As an obligation, it is frequently exclusionary or just plain annoying. – at Sundridge, South East
I have an elderly friend who is in her 80s.
She lives in Cornwall.
Mary is very switched on but she struggles with new technology a bit - especially parking apps.
All she wants to do is put her car in a space for a couple of hours and pay.
She does not want to sign up for a new app.
She does not want to verify her device.
She does not want to save her credit card information.
She does not want to figure out why the app thinks she is in Devon and cannot geolocate the car park she is standing in.
She wants to take a few coins and put them in a machine and do her shopping/meet her friends. Now, she finds excuses not to meet friends or shop because she is so worried about the parking situation.
It is a disgrace that parking has become so discriminatory and this is just the start. When Digital ID is introduced, her whole world will feel like this.
