A Democratic candidate for governor accuses a primary opponent of voting against a popular measure … before she was even elected to the legislature.
In the Democratic primary for governor, current Georgia Lt. Governor Mark Taylor released a campaign ad saying that his opponent Sec. of State Cathy Cox “admitted she voted against the lottery that created Hope Scholarships.” That’s simply not true.
In fact, Cox didn’t begin serving in the state legislature until two years after the measure was passed and thus couldn’t have voted for it.
In a response ad, Cox said Taylor is a “top executive” of a company that benefitted from his actions as Lieutenant Governor. In fact, Taylor isn’t an officer now, and wasn’t at the time he acted.
