  Secretary of State Kemp Announces Major Endorsements from Sandy Springs

And Fulton County Leaders

 

  (Athens) – Georgia Secretary of State Brian Kemp’s campaign announced today that it has received endorsements from numerous Sandy Springs and Fulton County leaders, including Sandy Springs Mayor Eva Galambos, Councilwoman Ashley Jenkins and Councilman Chip Collins. The campaign also received endorsements from Fulton County State Representatives Chuck Martin and Tom Rice.

 

These elected leaders join hundreds of other state and local officials from across the state who have pledged their support to Secretary Kemp. In the coming months, the Kemp for Secretary of State campaign will announce additional endorsements highlighting support from leaders in communities throughout Georgia.

 

“I applaud my fellow members of the Sandy Springs community and colleagues in the House for lending their endorsement to Secretary Kemp,” said State Rep. Joe Wilkinson (R – Sandy Springs), Chairman of the House Ethics Committee and an early Kemp for Secretary of State supporter. “As a small business owner, former State Senator and now as Georgia’s Secretary of State, Brian has the leadership and experience required to help Georgia’s businesses grow and create jobs, protect taxpayer dollars and ensure fair and secure elections.”

 

“I am humbled to receive the endorsement of Sandy Springs Mayor Galambos, members of Sandy Springs City Council, and additional members of the Georgia House,” said Secretary Kemp. “Our grassroots campaign of cutting the red tape of bureaucracy for Georgia businesses, budget transparency, and protecting the integrity of our elections continues to resonate with voters and elected officials across our great State.”

 

In January, Secretary Kemp announced that he had recruited a statewide grassroots organization that includes at least one grassroots leader in each of Georgia’s 159 counties. Kemp has personally travelled over 30,000 miles to every corner of Georgia to build this solid campaign foundation.
