Positions
Economy & Taxes
Gregg Poole has opposed tax measures he believes would raise burdens on Hall County residents and emphasized fiscal responsibility at the local level while supporting targeted local sales-tax measures (SPLOST/TSPLOST) for infrastructure. He has raised concerns about administrative costs from overlapping homestead exemptions and positioned himself as a conservative focused on limiting tax increases on residents.
Immigration & Border
Gregg Poole has publicly opposed the siting of a federal ICE detention/processing facility in Hall County, citing lack of communication with federal and state officials and potential local tax and infrastructure impacts. His statements are limited to opposition to that specific facility and process; there is no readily found detailed public record of broader policy positions on border security, asylum, or immigration enforcement in his campaign materials or official record. Given available evidence, his stance on wider immigration/border policy is unclear or mixed.

Public Safety & Guns
Gregg Poole identifies as a supporter of the Second Amendment and emphasizes gun rights. Public statements and campaign filings show Republican alignment on law-and-order and support for gun ownership without evidence of advocating expanded firearm restrictions.
News
Gregg Poole is in the news because he is running as a Republican challenger in Georgia's 9th Congressional District. He is one of the main primary opponents to U.S. Rep. Andrew Clyde, alongside Gainesville Mayor Sam Couvillon. Recent campaign finance reports show Poole has raised less money than Couvillon, making fundraising an early issue in the race.
