Georgia Runoff Endorsements

The Club for Growth - The Club’s PAC has just endorsed two stellar candidates in two rapidly approaching Georgia runoff elections –Bob Johnson (GA-01) and Barry Loudermilk (GA-11).

Bob Johnson (GA-01) – July 22nd Runoff

Bob Johnson is a surgeon, a former US Army Ranger, and a rock solid fiscal conservative!

And as a first-time candidate, his ability to make it into a runoff election against career politician State Senator Buddy Carter is particularly impressive!

Bob Johnson is running for Congress for all of the right reasons.  He loves his country and hates what he’s witnessing happen to it.  He fought for America when he was in the Army and now he’s ready to fight for her in Washington.

Johnson strongly opposes ObamaCare, he is on record against the big-spending Ryan-Murray budget compromise, and he’s signed the US Term Limits Pledge.

Bob Johnson is about as good as it gets.

Johnson came in second in the May primary to Buddy Carter.  However, with the support of Club members, we believe Johnson has an excellent chance to emerge victorious in the July 22nd runoff election.  The District is solidly Republican so whomever wins the runoff is highly likely to win in November.

Buddy Carter is a career politician with a long record of supporting anti-growth tax hikes, fees, and earmarks – Georgians and Americans deserve better.

Bob Johnson is a principled fighter who is committed to cutting spending, lowering taxes, and balancing the budget.  We need more Bob Johnsons in Congress!

The July 22nd runoff election is rapidly approaching.  Which means Club members have a very limited time in which to impact the outcome of this critical race!

That is why I am counting on you to make an IMMEDIATE and GENEROUS contribution of up to $5,200 to Bob Johnson for Congress TODAY!

Barry Loudermilk (GA-11) – July 22nd Runoff

Barry Loudermilk is a small business owner, former Air Force Specialist, and a true champion of economic freedom!

Loudermilk came in first in the May primary with 36.6% of the vote.  However, former Congressman Bob Barr was within 9%, receiving 25.8% of the vote.  That means nothing can be taken for granted here – this is going to be a hard fought runoff and the support of Club members could make THE difference.

Barry Loudermilk is a conservative leader with an impressive pro-growth record in the Georgia State Senate.  Loudermilk has consistently supported the principles of limited government, even when it was unpopular. He was one of just six lawmakers to oppose a budget that added $300 million in new spending. He also publicly opposed new taxes and fees.  A constitutional scholar, Loudermilk has given dozens of lectures and seminars on America’s founding documents.

Barry Loudermilk is an unwavering pro-growth, limited government conservative.

In direct contrast, is Loudermilk’s opponent, Bob Barr.  Barr is a former Congressman who gained notoriety for switching parties.  He has repeatedly voted to raise the national debt and to raise his own pay.  The difference between these two candidates couldn’t be starker.

The July 22nd runoff election is just around the corner and Bob Barr is not going to go down without one heck of a fight.  The generous support of Club members is going to be critical if Loudermilk is going to continue his upward trajectory toward victory in July!

As with GA-01, this district is solidly Republican which means that whoever wins on July 22nd should become the next Congressman from the district.

I am counting on you to make sure that man is a TRUE champion of economic freedom and not a party-hopping big-government RINO.  I am counting on you to make the most generous contribution you are able of up to $5,200 to Barry Loudermilk for Congress TODAY!
