Josh McKoon’s GA GOP Chaos: Secret Hires, Shady Payments While Georgia Turns Blue

Georgia GOP Chairman Josh McKoon faces scrutiny for questionable leadership, from hiring Travis Bowden without executive board approval to paying him $21,000 after his firing. McKoon’s financial decisions, including $19,000 to Rosetta Stone Communications, raise concerns about favoritism, a disconnect from the purpose of the republican party as 6 counties in Georgia shift more democrat. With lobbyists dominating Georgia and the election integrity bills stalled in the legislative session, McKoon’s leadership is under fire as the GA GOP struggles to maintain control.

Congressman Brian Jack says that Upson County Chairwoman Lisa Pierce was instrumental in his campaign’s success, hosting multiple voter mobilization events. Through her leadership Upson County delivered President Trump the most votes ever received in the county’s 200 year history.
How Donald Trump has remade America’s political landscape. Donald Trump’s victory in 2024 was not an outlier. It was a culmination of continuous gains by republicans in much of the country each time he has run for president. The graphic shows that the largest democrat gains have been in the Atlanta area. The largest bluest dot that has shifted is in Georgia. Democrat strongholds are increasingly islands. Only a few isolated areas have moved sharply in the democrats direction. Out of the top 10 that shifted democrat since 2012, 6 out of 10 are in Georgia. This is why Salleigh Grubbs cannot be the 1st vice chair of the republican party if we are to stop this tread of the democrat shift. In Cobb county it has shifted from R+12 to D+15 a shift of D+27, now Salleigh was not chair for the entire time but she has overseen the county go more blue. You are watching Georgia turn blue. Cobb county with Donald Trump on the ballot Cobb county shifted to Harris when the other Atlanta counties did not shift.
Josh McKoon will not go to an event where the questions are locked in for him and it is set up.
The AJC knows that 2026 is their chance because Trump is not on the ballot. 6 of 9 counties that shift 25 points democrat surround Atlanta.
There is a chance that Buddy Carter could jump back into the district 1 race. Chatham county commissioner Patrick Farrell is taking steps to run for Buddy Carter's position. To challenge Kandiss Taylor for the seat.
Travis Bowden was hired by Josh McKoon, two weeks after the 2022 election and the executive board didn’t know anything about it. Josh made the decision and decided what he would be paid. A year later Travis was fired and the RNC put in their guy. But Travis continued to be paid by the GA GOP with a Christmas bonus totalling $21000 after he was fired.
If you are a friend of Josh you get money from the GA GOP. On April 4, 2025, Rosetta Stone Communications and John Garst received $19,000 labeled communication consultant. What Josh does on his zoom meetings, if he brings in $3 he is entitled to give away $1 to his friends.
The GA GOP paid a verizon bill in the amount of 1725.76, how many people have a cell phone issued by the GA GOP?
Josh McKoon and others are angry because we are talking about finances. They don’t want their party to end.
Everyone is talking about endorsements. Trump is the busiest man in the world, dealing with tariffs, terrorists, Russia, Ukraine the last thing that president Trump is concerned with is the endorsement of a Georgia chairman. Michael Whatley is the RNC chair, Michael Whatley doesn’t want to deal with someone that will ask questions. They need people that will go with the flow. Trump sent out the same endorsement for several chairs only altering a little language.
After the convention in 2023, Josh had a karaoke party. Josh never shared anything with BKP as 1st vice chair. Then there is the fish fry 3 months later for the state committee meeting in Perry. Everything exploded in the 8th district with the Perry Fish Fry and Paper Ballots.
Travis Bowden worked every angle he could to whip everything he could to go against BKP. And Josh McKoon put BKP in front of the state committee and treated BKP as a dog.
BKP phone call with Josh McKoon. Will be released today.
Sunday night Josh tells people on the zoom call. While a new law was signed into law the new process in selecting a board of election with the counties that had probate judges administer elections. This is the latest language in board selections. Wait for it to go to court, how can one county do one thing and other counties do other things. Governor Kemp signed this into law. These political stunts they continue to do that are lies.
Georgia is now run by lobbyists. They are not going to allow the control to be lost. The two big legislation that made it though is the lobbyist bills, Tort reform and Roundup bill. Election integrity bill did not pass.
