LIVE: Fulton Co. GA-07 Congressional Debate | Tony Kozycki vs Rich McCormick - Oct. 15, 2026
Thank you to the North Fulton NAACP and Dr. Erica Barnes Ford for hosting, to Becky Woomer for moderating, and to Reverend Dr. Gregory S. Williams and the First Lady of St. James Community Church for opening your doors to us. And special thank you to George for staying late and allowing the community to connect with our campaign and learn more about us and how we can work together for a safe and prosperous future.
This was our sixth debate. Rich McCormick was invited and declined, so once again Cardboard Rich took his place on stage. Showing up is the job. If he won't show up for this district while he's asking for your vote, he won't show up for you once he has it.
I came to talk about the issues hitting families across the 7th District: affordability, Social Security, health care, corporate money in politics, immigration, data centers, and the leadership this country needs. Then I took questions straight from the community. Watch the full forum and share it with someone who's still deciding.
