We just wrapped up a great week, and it is so exciting to see the momentum build as we head into the fall. The overwhelming support of the Republicans in DeKalb County and the kind endorsement of Joe McCutchen were a tremendous boost to our efforts this week.

“Bring it On” Campaign Overwhelms Opponents

In a demonstration of grassroots organizational strength and a sign that she has the momentum in the race for Governor, Karen Handel won the straw poll last Saturday in DeKalb County. What makes the results even more impressive is that one of her opponents grew up in DeKalb County. Below are the results as posted on Peachpundit.com.

Endorsement for Karen from the Ninth Congressional District

Joe McCutchen, Ellijay community leader, TV host and small business champion, endorsed Karen in his latest newsletter:

"It has been a pleasure getting to know the Secretary of State of Georgia, Karen Handel, over the past year. On numerous occasions, Karen has told me that her first priority as Governor of Georgia will be to put the taxpayers and small business owners number one on her agenda. In my opinion, these are great reasons to support Karen in her race to become our leader; taxpayers and small business owners need to be the highest priority for any Governor, or any elected leader, for that matter.

Please ask your relatives and friends to vote for Karen as I believe she will go down in history as an excellent Governor."
