Rob Adkerson, longtime chief of staff to Congressman Barry Loudermilk, tells Jenny Beth Martin the story behind his decision to run for Loudermilk's open Georgia congressional seat. After 11 and a half years inside Capitol Hill, Rob's plan was to step away from politics, get into media, and tell the truth about Washington from the outside. Then on February 12th, in a Washington hotel room, he woke at exactly 3:12 in the morning to a single sentence he could not shake: 'My plans are not your plans.'
Rob explains why he tried to talk his boss into talking him out of running, why Barry Loudermilk refused, and how seven grandchildren made the stakes feel personal. He also lays out his core principles, faith, family, and freedom, and why his early years in a rough environment shaped his view of what American liberty actually protects.
