ATLANTA — With a runoff extending Georgia’s U.S. Senate campaign by four weeks, it can be easy to forget that the eventual winner of the contest will have a job to do after this: a six-year term with all the weighty policy decisions that come with it.
U.S. Sen. Raphael Warnock has served for two years, giving a window into how he approaches the job. His campaign also responded to a series of questions posed by The Atlanta Journal-Constitution on how the Democrat plans to respond to issues that the Senate is expected to tackle in the coming months, ranging from the debt limit to agriculture policy.
But it is much tougher to pin down where Republican challenger Herschel Walker stands. On the campaign trail, he engages in the culture wars that fire up conservative voters but don’t generally reflect the highest-profile issues standing before the Senate.
