Gabriel Sterling digg - Political consulting while as COO/CFO of Georgia SoS?

 

1/2

 

Folks, I sense a lot of fishy busyness with Gabriel Sterling of Georgia.

 

Gabriel's late grandma Leonor Rubio was born in Pinar del Rio, Cuba. As we all know, Cuba is a communist regime. Quite ironic how his recent actions praise communism.

 

Gabriel's mother is Ana Rubio Sterling who is an Associate Real Estate Broker with Harry Norman in Georgia. She recently sold properties of up to $1.55M. Her father, Robert Guy Sterling (known as Rod Sterling), has always been in the pool chemical business and is the owner of The Sterling Advisory Group which specializes in consulting and small business merges and acquisitions. According to Garbiel's LinkedIn profile, Gabriel served as President of The Sterling Advisory Group from December 1996-July 2005. Rod is also the registered agent for Wesss Real Estate and Sterling Solar LLC, both of Sandy Springs, GA.

 

Gabriel's full name is Robert Gabriel Sterling, according to business registration records. Through cross-referencing the addresses linked to Gabriel's registered businesses, it turns out that he is the owner of social media accounts advocating for Georgia Film tax breaks. On the Twitter account @KeepGAFilmBoom, it even contains retweets of Gabriel's smoked chicken salad creations. The PO Box for Keep George Film Industry Booming is also used for Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc. which is one of Gabriel's businesses involved in pool chemicals.

 

According to business registrations, Gabriel is the owner of:

  • Sterling Advisory Group, Inc.

  • Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc.

  • Neighbors for Sterlign, Inc.

  • Sterling Innovation Solutions LLC

 

Interestingly Gabriel was also the President of SSH, Inc. from July 2012 to January 2019. As per Patch's article announcing Gabriel is the SoS COO, SSH, Inc. is a "business and political consulting firm". In the article, Brad Raffensperger and Jordan Fuchs both mention that they have worked with Gabriel on several projects and found him to be an excellent candidate for the role. There is not a business named "SSH, Inc." that is registered to Gabriel; the only business which comes close to SSH, Inc. is Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc., which happens to be a pool chemical business on Gabriel's LinkedIn profile. According to Georgia's Corporations Division, Sterling Seasonal Home, Inc. was registered in October 2002 and is an active corporation. Therefore Gabriel could most likely still be performing political consulting while in office.

 

Through another address match, it turns out that Gabriel is also the former agent registered for Friends of Judge JP Boulee Inc.; JP Boulee is the US District Judge for the Northern District of Georgia.

Gabriel Sterling digg - Political consulting while as COO/CFO of Georgia SoS?

 

2/2

 

On one of Gabriel's 20+ entries on his LinkedIn profile, he is the owner of Elbow Bend Brewing & BBQ. Unfortunately there is no such active business which returns under Georgia's Corporation Division. Three expired name reservations only return when this company name is searched for. Gabriel lists on his LinkedIn and Facebook that Elbow Bend Brewing & BBQ is both an active business for which he is the owner of since October 2016. Upon going to the business Facebook page for this company, the website linked to the page is parked at GoDaddy and there is no street address provided. The last post on the business page was on December 24, 2019. On Aloeus, a business site aggregator, it lists an address of Bridges 401-435 Creek Trail Northeast, Sandy Springs, Georgia, 30328. It is unknown if this is a business or residential address as Google Street view has not mapped this address. On other brewery aggregator websites, individuals have reported this brewery as "closed".

 

Other notable roles from Gabriel's LinkedIn profile include:

  • Vice Chairman, Sandy Springs Development Authority (Oct 2012 - Present)

  • Vice President, Landmark Communications of Georgia, Inc. (2005-2012)

  • Political Director - Georgia (General), Bush/Quayle 1992 Campaign (Aug 1992-Nov 1992)

  • Legislative Assistant, Office of Congressman Charlie Norwood Jr. (Jan 1995-Apr 1996)

 

Note that Landmark Communications of Georgia is the polling company of record for WSB-TV News, Channel 2 Atlanta. On Landmark’s website, it indicates that its "political work and polls are regularly sourced and quoted in state and national media including Real Clear Politics, Reuters, Associated Press, New York Times, Washington Post/Bloomberg, The Hill, Politico, RealClearPolitics.com, Huffington Post, Chris Matthews’ Hardball on MSNBC and more." Landmark also indicates that it provides "voter lists + database management" and that its "in-house voter database is Georgia’s most effective database of voters".

 

This leads us with a big can of worms of what Gabriel's registered "businesses" are. If indeed Gabriel is performing political consulting while in office, that is quite a conflict of interest. As per Gabriel's LinkedIn, Gabriel lists that he is "Chief Operating Officer/Chief Financial Officer" of the Georgia SoS as of January 2021.
