Herschel Walker has claimed that he has deep ties to the state he wants to represent in Washington. The 60-year-old may be exaggerating his relationship to the state.
Walker has been living in Texas for a long time. He has stated that he has resided in Atlanta for over a decade.
He claimed to have a residency that wasn't his. Walker's wife is the sole owner of the residence according to Fulton County tax and property records. According to rental income data, Blanchard collected between $15,000 and $50,000 from the home.
When he first announced his senatorial bid last August, Walker said his Georgia home was the one he owned.
Last year, Walker's Texas address received almost $50,000 in COVID relief loans. The Georgia senate hopeful said that the company had provided rental income for the Atlanta residence, which could mean that the company had an operational stake. It is not possible to find Walker's name on the home's documentation.
Walker might have never lived in Atlanta. Before his campaign, he did not live at the home. The residence was only used as a source of passive income.
Before he announced his run for Georgia senate, Walker's residency was up for discussion. Donald Trump paved the way for him to run against the senator in the future. He registered to vote in Georgia before he announced his candidacy.
Walker has been sharing his upbringing in Wrightsville, a small town in central Georgia, as the tide has turned. He was a football player at the University of Georgia.
The damning evidence doesn't stop there. Walker found himself in a tricky situation with tax law in Texas and election law in Georgia after he filed for a homestead exemption on his Dallas, Texas, residence.
Walker received a tax break. He had to tell it that his suburban Dallas home was his main residence.
Georgia election officials investigated Blanchard after they suspected she cast a ballot in the state while claiming to live in Texas. She was cleared of those accusations, but they are still suspicious about Walker's residency.
