Georgia GOP: Josh McKoon’s Swamp Leadership, Cobb County Shake-Up

This podcast calls for urgent reform in the Georgia Republican Party ahead of the 2026 election, targeting GA GOP Chairman Josh McKoon as a "swamp leader" tied to Brian Kemp. It details McKoon’s career, from assistant insurance commissioner under convicted Jim Beck to interim director, then General Counsel for Georgia’s Vocational System, alongside significant salary hikes ($51K) and travel increases ($10K) since becoming GOP chair in 2023. The episode demands a DOGE investigation into his financial dealings. It critiques the GA GOP’s lack of autonomy, claiming the RNC sidelined McKoon to secure Trump’s election with external funding. In Cobb County, outgoing chair Salleigh Grubbs is slammed, while Sophia’s anti-establishment candidacy for chair enduring a well orchestrated attack on her candidacy. A call for Cobb County to restore the county’s Republican stronghold, contrasting with Kandiss Taylor’s controversial congressional run and GOP disavowal. The podcast urges a truthful, grassroots team to overhaul the party.
We must make corrections in the republican party before the 2026 election cycle. Josh McKoon is the leader of the GOP swamp. Josh McKoon knows very little about the public sector. In 2020, Josh McKoon was working as the assistant commissioner under the department of insurance under Jim Beck. Josh McKoon is tied to Brian Kemp. Since Josh has been a state senator he has been a state employee. Travis Bowden has always been with Josh McKoon. Jim Beck goes to prison and then Josh is the interim director of the insurance department. Then John King becomes the appointment of Insurance Commissioner. Then Josh is the lead attorney for the Vocational system in GA. He works for the State of GA. The GA GOP chair is listed as a volunteer. In 2022, little increase in salary and travel. It’s 2023 and is becoming the chairman of the GA GOP and a significant salary and travel increase. In 2024 another significant raise. He traveled to Arizona and other places and traveled all over the state, who knows how many days he has been out of the office with all his travels with the GOP. He bumps up 7 grand in travel and a 20K raise in 2024. Hope he didn’t accidentally turn in the wrong travel receipts. Hope he didn’t double dip. In 2 years his increase was 51K in salary and 10K in travel? McKoon has to go. DOGE needs to investigate the GA Vocational School System General Counsel office.
Remember that Travis Bowden was at the insurance commissioner's office. WE have to have an entire team that will tell the truth. We have to turn the republican party around. Ryan Cawdell was the executive director of the GA GOP and when Josh got elected he hired Travis Bowden. The GA GOP should not be able to hire an executive director without the input of the state executive committee. Josh gets to decide when the new executive director would be hired and the salary of the director. Bowden’s salary is unknown. Justin Rice is now the executive director. According to BKP the GA GOP could not be trusted to handle things. The RNC pumped a lot of money into GA to get Trump elected. The RNC told Josh to get out of the way. Travis Bowden assumed a new role in the GA GOP as Senior Advisor to Chairman on June 14, 2024. The GA GOP has zero impact on what happens. The RNC sent Justin Rice to the GA GOP. He is not from GA. When the money came into the GOP for Trump it was under the direction of the RNC pick for executive director.
Cobb County has had a terrible chair in Salleigh Grubbs who is running for 1st Vice Chair, was she recording David Cross’ speech to send to Josh McKoon. Sophia is running for Cobb Co GOP chair, she is a candidate trying to restore the county as the ruby red republican county jewel of the south. Sophia will not be under the rule of Josh McKoon and Salleigh Grubbs.
We have to DOGE the GA GOP.
When they wanted to remove BKP from the GA GOP they called in Kandiss. Now Kandiss Taylor is running for Congress. The last thing she needs to do is step into Cobb County. And all signs lead to Kandiss making a deal. Someone called Kandiss to get involved in Cobb County. Kandiss Taylor says you dodged a bullet in Cobb County but the GA GOP had to issue a statement to say that Kandiss doesn’t speak for the GA GOP in her recent comments on the Stew Peters show. Now Kandiss is running for congress and has endorsed a Cobb County GOP chair.
Now if Sophia was aligned with the GOP establishment they would all be saying how wonderful it would be to have a minority. Sophia is anti-establishment. Cobb county needs to have the right candidate that will turn the party around to turn the party around in the county and elect republicans. Sophia has worked in the party for a long time. She was good for the party then, but now that hse is running for chair she is not?
