Our Local GRA Chapters

28 of Georgia’s 159 counties have incorporated GRA local chapters either through individual county Republican Assembly organizations or by regional organizations. Many of our members, however, also live in counties that have no organized local chapter.

• Cobb County Republican Assembly: The Cobb County chapter was established in July 2016 during the run-off between Tim Lee and Mike Boyce for Cobb County Commission Chairman. Due to Tim Lee’s responsibility for the Corporate Cronyist Braves Stadium deal, in which taxpayers were put on the hook for a billionaire’s private enterprise to the tune of $400 million, the Cobb RAs endorsed Tim Lee’s opponent and successfully defeated Tim Lee. The following year the Cobb RAs were the first local chapter within the GRA to win “Chapter of the Year” when they successfully helped a GRA member defeat incumbent Rose Wing for Cobb County GOP Chair. In 2018 when incumbent District 1 Cobb Commissioner Bob Weatherford indicated that he would support an increase in real estate taxes, the Cobb RAs endorsed Weatherford’s opponent Keli Gambril and helped her to successfully win election. Cobb County has hosted the GRA State Convention and the President’s Annual Dinner 2018-2019. In 2021, GRA members in Cobb helped Salleigh Grubbs and her team win election as the new Cobb GOP leadership, and helped Keli Gambrill win re-election as Cobb Commissioner District 1 in 2022. Chris Deeb currently serves as the President & Chairman of the Cobb chapter, and Nathaniel Darnell serves as its Immediate Past Chairman.

• DeKalb County Republican Assembly: Rebooted as a county chapter in 2023, the local membership elected Doug Hartman as the chapter President in 2025. Their membership was decisive in getting GRA-member Marci McCarthy elected as the DeKalb County GOP Chairwoman in 2021 and then Kendra Foltz Biegalski as the DeKalb Chair in 2025.

• Etowah Republican Assembly: Located in the area surrounding the Etowah River, this chapter was founded in Floyd County in May 2023. This group met and was birthed in the heat of battle fighting for election integrity, protesting the Rome drag queen festival, opposing SPLOST, protesting mask mandates and more. They elected Angela Rubino as the current President of their chapter. You can learn more about their chapter at their Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/EtowahRA/.

• Fulton County Republican Assembly: Rebooted as a county chapter in 2023 by local President Nick Cooper and Mark Endres, the Fulton RA was instrumental in flipping the Fulton County GOP organization and getting Mark’s wife Stephanie Endres elected as the Fulton County GOP Chairwoman.

• Lanier Republican Assembly: This chapter in northeast Georgia was re-booted in late 2025 with Tommy Hertel as its chapter President. It consists of seven counties near Lake Lanier in the 9th Congressional District: Gwinnett, Hall, Banks, Jackson, White, Lumpkin, and Habersham. In 2026, the the LRA chapter hosted the GRA State Endorsement Convention in Gainesville. They are also the home regional chapter for the GRA 2nd Vice President Lois Finlay, 3rd Vice President Cindy Panos, and Chapter Development Chairman Ron Hooper.

• North Metro Republican Assembly: The North Metro Republican Assembly regional chapter formed in May 2022, to supersede the former Cherokee County RA chapter, and now incorporates Pickens County and has invited many new members to affiliate with us from surrounding counties. Founded under the leadership of Richard Jordan as the new president, the members of the newly chartered GRA chapter were instrumental in electing “America First” C.V. Dinsmore as Chairman in 2023 and later James Dvorak in 2025 for the thriving GOP Cherokee County Republican organization. The chapter also ushered in GRA member David Oles as the new GOP 11th District Chairman and Richard Jordan as the 7th District Chairman along with their slate of “America First” Officers. These victories followed a full year of planning and preparing under the leadership of Richard Jordan as president of the new regional chapter. They have hosted many successful trainings and events. You can learn more about them at their Facebook page at the North Metro RA chapter’s Facebook page.

• Northwest Georgia Republican Assembly: The Northwest GA RAs was originally composed of four counties in the northwest region of Georgia bordering Tennessee: Catoosa, Whitfield, Gordon, and Murray. In 2022, they added Walker County to their regional chapter. Led by Eddie Caldwell and Joanna Hildreth, this regional RA organization made state-wide headlines when they ran a successful campaign in March 2019 in Catoosa County to defeat a proposed T-SPLOST. In 2022 they also successfully got GRA-endorsed candidates Colton Moore (“A” rated) elected to State Senate and Mitchell Horner elected to State House. In 2023 they succeeded at getting their chapter President Eddie Caldwell elected as the Chairman of the Whitfield County GOP organization, electing GRA-member Jackie Harling as the Chair of the Walker Count GOP, re-electing GRA Secretary Joanna Hildreth as the Chair of the Catoosa County GOP, and re-electing the former GRA Assistant Secretary Denise Burns as the 14th District GOP Chairwoman. She was later followed by GRA member Jackie Harling as the District 14 Chair. In 2025, their chapter hosted the GRA State Officer Election Convention in Tunnel Hill.

• Third Congressional District Georgia Republican Assembly: This chapter started as the “West GA RAs” and is composed of the 15 counties included in Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District. Their chapter won the GRA “Chapter of the Year” Award in 2019 for successfully campaigning to defeat a T-SPLOST as well as helping a GRA-endorsed candidate for State House to win a special election in October of that year even though he was outspent 2-to-1. The chapter also hosted the first GRA State Convention in Coweta County in 2017 and two more in 2021 and 2022. In 2025, GRA member from this chapter Noelle Kahaian was elected to the State House, beating an incumbent RINO who out-spent her by nearly six times as much money! Also in 2025, the chapter was re-booted as the “3rd Congressional District RAs” with Lisa Pierce as the chapter Chairman and Linda Menk as the chapter President.
