Our local GRA chapters in the 14th Congressional District are combining forces to co-host a Regional GRA Candidate Forum & Endorsement Convention! (This includes the Northwest Georgia RA chapter, the Cobb RA chapter, the Etowah RA chapter, and the Chattooga RA chapter.) The event will be held on Saturday, January 17th in Rome, Georgia at the upstairs rental space above the Rome History Center.
This is the first Candidate Forum immediately following candidate qualifying that has been scheduled and which is inviting all of the qualified candidates in the special election to participate! Already, the following candidates have RSVP’d that they are coming (in order of their FEC filing, if applicable): Jeff Criswell, Star Black, Jenna Turnipseed, Marty Brown, Beau Brown, Tom Gray, Colton Moore, Christian Hurd, and Eric Cunningham.
Lunch is included in the price for registration for this event, and the early bird discount ends after Wednesday, January 14th. Anyone can attend the event, but only GRA members will be allowed to vote on the endorsement.
After presentations from the candidates, all GRA members who live in counties that make up the 14th Congressional District will be eligible to vote to endorse one of the Republican candidates. Those counties are:
- Catoosa
- Chattooga
- Cobb
- Dade
- Floyd
- Murray
- Paulding
- Polk
- Walker
- Whitfield
You must be an approved GRA member if you want to be eligible to vote in this event, and the volunteers who handle membership vetting need time to process applications, so apply here as soon as possible!
