Georgia Legislator Says Online Sports Betting Support Didn’t Hurt Him In Election

(Gerogia).- In trying to pass Georgia online sports betting legislation this year, Rep. Marcus Wiedower often had Republican colleagues tell him they just couldn’t risk supporting controversial gambling legislation during an election year.

Georgia Legislator Says Online Sports Betting Support Didn’t Hurt Him In Election

His colleagues often hear from faith-based organizations that they will oppose re-election if they support gambling legislation.

For colleagues who remain on the fence, he hopes they will consider online sports betting legislation in 2025 after taking notice of his own primary election results.

In many Georgia districts, Republican incumbents don’t have much concern over losing to a Democrat in November. But they could be vulnerable against a Republican challenger in a primary.

Wiedower’s opponent, John Michael Grigsby, made his opposition to online sports betting and Wiedower’s sponsorship of legislation part of his campaign. Yet, Wiedower won with 83% of the vote in the primary election on May 21.

The incumbent isn’t even asking colleagues to vote for legalizing online sports betting. He’s asking them to allow Georgians to vote on whether or not they want sports betting.

"I’m the face of this and my opponent tried to use it against me,” Wiedower told PlayUSA. "I still won 83-17. So just stop. Nobody is getting beat in their primary over letting voters vote on this issue. So many people they think will care about this either want it or don’t care at all.”
