Talk:David Perdue/Archive 1

Discrimination suit
According to this article by PolitiFact: Dollar General did not acknowledge any liability or wrongdoing. But the settlement agreement promised some policy changes, something legal experts say is fairly routine.CFredkin (talk) 06:00, 10 October 2014 (UTC)
 * I removed this as it was in violation of WP:COATRACK. Namely, per PolitiFact:


 * "Perdue, who was Dollar General CEO from April 2003 to July 2007, was not named as a defendant in the lawsuit."
 * "The lawsuit was settled after Perdue left the company."


 * NOT BEING NAMED HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH VALIDITY OF LAWSUIT WHILE HE WAS CEO! NUNN DIO NOT PUT OUT AD,  EMILYS LIST DID! Juror1 (talk) 16:52, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * The cited Time article is about a Nunn attack ad. This article isn't the place to rehash the talking points of campaign attack ads. It's not appropriate to tie Perdue to a lawsuit which he was not named in, nor a party to any settlement, here. Champaign Supernova (talk) 14:51, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * IT IS entirely APPROPRIATE! HE WAS CEO Juror1 (talk) 16:53, 1 October 2017 (UTC)


 * I missed those points in my reading of the article. Thanks for raising them.  Based on that, I would tend to agree that it's not relevant for inclusion.CFredkin (talk) 16:49, 10 October 2014 (UTC)


 * I've copied this from User talk:Relevantlife, where I originally posted it: The issue isn't whether this has been "an issue in the race," but whether or not, per WP:BLP, WP:COATRACK, and a variety of other Wikipedia policies, it is appropriate to include it. My argument is that Perdue was not named in the lawsuit, nor was he a part of any settlement (or even at the company when the case was resolved), so it's not about him. Rather, it's an attempt by the Nunn campaign to tie him to the case. We're perpetuating that attempt by including it here. Rather than reverting my edits, please engage in the talk page discussion I've started at David Perdue. Champaign Supernova (talk) 21:07, 10 October 2014 (UTC)

GreeneTwiki (talk) 21:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)I'm new at this but am attempting to understand much of this. I have two questions: (1) Is the fact that Perdue ran the company not relevant, regardless of his name in it, or the settlement? (2) Was my edit (that mentioned his famous response that "only 2,000 women" sued the company) rejected because I used Youtube as a source? I thought that the actual video of the actual statement was the best choice. Thank you!GreeneTwiki (talk) 21:44, 13 January 2015 (UTC)

Early Life and Family
I have added this painstakingly researched material twice and it is deleted. Most of this information is from the local newspaper in Houston County, GA, which has all be digitally archived. How to get my research back in the article?

David Perdue was born in Macon, Georgia, the son of David Alfred Perdue, Sr., and the former Gervaise Wynn, both schoolteachers. David Perdue, Sr. was the elected Democratic superintendent of schools for Houston County, Georgia for twenty years, from 1960 to 1980, where he oversaw the desegregation of the school system during his tenure.

Perdue was raised in Warner Robins, Georgia and graduated from Northside High School in 1968. He left Warner Robins to start school at the United States Air Force Academy on June 23, 1968, after receiving an appointment from Congressman Jack Brinkley of Georgia. This was during the Vietnam War and Perdue had the very low draft number of 41, so he must have evaded the draft through school deferments.

Perdue did not finish at the Air Force Academy, but went on to earn a bachelor's degree in Industrial engineering (1972) and a master's degree in operations research (1975), both from Georgia Tech. At Georgia Tech, Perdue was a brother of the Delta Sigma Phi fraternity. Perdue is married to Bonnie Dunn in August 1972. The couple lives in the resort town of Sea Island. The couple had a daughter who died in infancy and have two sons, David A. Perdue III and Blake Perdue, and three grandchildren. David Perdue Jr. is the first cousin of former Georgia governor and current United States Secretary of Agriculture Sonny Perdue.

Wow this is a persistent effort to delete well documented parts of David Perdue's early life. Getting into the Air Force Academy during war time is a significant event. Dale Hoefer 15:31, 30 June 2020 (UTC)

Status as 'senior' US Senator, could change.
So, if both Perdue & Loeffler win their respective runoffs. They'll switch places as senior and junior US Senators in Georgia. GoodDay (talk) 12:16, 15 December 2020 (UTC)

Seen on CNN web display: "Because Perdue's full term ends on January 3, that precludes [Gov.] Kemp from appointing someone to fill the vacancy that will be left until the results of the runoff are settled." So yes, the seat stays vacant until after the runoff winner is certified. The other Senator, Kelly Loeffler is an appointee to an unexpired term, so stays as such during the runoff. That election-majority requirement is peculiar to Georgia, right? (and so was the "combined primary" faced last Nov. 3 by Loeffler?) Carlm0404 (talk) 06:24, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

Regardless of the results of the runoffs, the article currently says that he has been the senior senator from Georgia since 2015, which I would think to be false, as prior to Johnny Isakson's retirement he was the junior senator from Georgia. I looked at the pages for a couple of other senators, though, and found the same oddity there. Is this a site-wide error, or does senior status somehow get applied retroactively? Oooooooseven (talk) 03:58, 25 December 2020 (UTC)

"Senior" senator refers to length of service; the senator who has been in office longer is the senior senator. Isakson was senior to Perdue, and Perdue is senior to Loeffler. Other examples are Bernie Sanders, who is the junior senator from Vermont because Pat Leahy has been a senator longer; or Pat Toomey, who is the junior senator from Pennsylvania because Bob Casey has been there longer.Polkadreamer (talk) 21:56, 29 December 2020 (UTC)

When Senator Jon Kyl was appointed to fill John McCain's vacancy, despite having longer total service than Flake (who replaced him 6 years earlier), he was the junior Senator throughout his second tenure. 24.151.121.209 (talk) 07:03, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

I suppose, telling folks to wait until Noon EST, won't do any good. It usually never does, every 2 years. GoodDay (talk) 13:06, 3 January 2021 (UTC)

As pointed out earlier, his Senate seat has become vacant because his old term expired ahead of runoff. Carlm0404 (talk) 19:01, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
