Congressman Tom Price switched his support from Nathan Deal to Karen yesterday and created quite a buzz. Tom is highly respected in the 6th District, across our state and nationally as a conservative leader. In endorsing Karen he said:

“Karen Handel has demonstrated the strength, courage and leadership in business and public office that we desperately need in the next Governor of our great state of Georgia. Karen is not only the best candidate to win the nomination and take on Roy Barnes and the Democrats in November, but she will also be a wonderful Governor for our state.”

Columbia County Straw Poll a Big Win for Karen

Following a spirited debate in Columbia County on Saturday, Karen won an important straw poll. Obviously the attendees liked what they saw and heard. The results were:

Handel: 36%
Deal: 32%
EJ: 27%
Ox: 4%

The Columbia County Young Republicans organized the event and they are to be commended for barring Ray McBerry from attending. They made a conscientious stand in denying a platform to this man who does not represent the values of the Republican Party and the people of Georgia.

Help Continue the Momentum

The addition of Congressman Price to our team is just another indicator that Karen clearly has the momentum in the race. Nathan Deal is clearly worried, as his response was to attack Tom Price’s integrity and charge Karen with an old, untrue statement. We will see more of this as our opponents get more desperate.

We need your help to respond to the attacks that are coming. Please make a donation to Karen today. Your contribution will help us spread Karen’s message of job creation, ethical leadership, cutting spending and improving education.

Thank you for your support of Karen Handel for Governor.
