The middle

Where they agree

  • Both back the Second Amendment. Fuller: "Our God given rights shall NOT be infringed, period."2 Harris: "I support the Second Amendment 100%."10
  • Both want good jobs in NW Georgia. Fuller: "bring good paying manufacturing jobs back to NW Georgia".2 Harris: "Use federal manufacturing opportunities, including the CHIPS Act, to bring long-term production work to Northwest Georgia."5
  • Both say public office shouldn't serve politicians. Fuller: "Clay never let the District Attorney's office be used as a tool by politicians to push their agendas."2 Harris: "I will not tolerate public office being utilized for personal gain."3

Where they really split

  • Who the fight is against: Fuller will "stand with backbone against the Socialists, Democrats and weak Republicans in Washington".2 Harris says "The elite use the idea of accountability as a tool to get support while ignoring the loopholes that keep them in power."3
  • Guns in public: Fuller says "Our God given rights shall NOT be infringed, period."2 Harris says "I support a community's right to set temporary, agreed-upon limits at events like parades and protests".10
  • Path to jobs: Fuller points to "President Trump's America First Agenda".2 Harris points to "Partner with unions and skilled-trades programs that offer paid apprenticeships."5

What each one leaves out

  • Fuller's four priorities don't say how any of them would work, what they cost or when, and his site has no health care, schools or veterans section.2
  • Harris spells out how on six of his nine issues and names a funding source on two, but gives no deadline on any, and his Jobs and Second Amendment pages are lists of positions without a mechanism.5, 10
