Rep. Powell to Host Meet Your Candidates BBQ in September

State Representative Allen Powell will hold a Meet Your Candidates gathering next month on Saturday, September 17, at the Britt Angus Farm on E&M Dairy Road in Hartwell from 9a to noon.

Sponsored by Powell and the Republican Party for the 9th and 10th Districts, Powell said they are expecting many of the State Republican candidates to be there.

“I do this every two years prior to the General Election in November as a way to get out the vote and meet the candidates,” he said. “I’ve invited all the candidates. Everyone is invited to come out between 9a and 12 o’clock. We’ll be doing BBQ just before 12 o’clock and all the candidates will have a chance to speak.”

Candidates expected to be on hand to meet the voters include Governor Brian Kemp, Burt Jones who’s running for Lieutenant Governor, State Attorney General Chris Carr, State School Superintendent Richard Woods, U.S. Senate Candidate Herschel Walker, Insurance Commissioner John King, candidate for State Labor Commissioner Bruce Thompson, candidate for Ag Commissioner Tyler Harper, and 10th District Congressional Candidate Mike Collins.

Powell said it will be a good time for people to come out and meet one-on-one with the State Republican candidates.

“I still do things the old-fashioned way. If they’ll get there at 9a they can mingle with folks. Everybody is welcome to come. Civil behavior is certainly in this day and time but I want people to come out and meet these candidates,” he said.

Again, the Meet Your Republican Candidates takes place Saturday, September 17 from 9a to noon at the Britt Angus farm in Hartwell.
