Sen. Colton Moore Overwhelmingly Wins Endorsement for 14th District Congressional Race
Rome, GA — On Saturday GRA members from counties across the 14th Congressional District (including Cobb County) gathered to hear from candidates who qualified to run as Republicans on the ballot in the March 10th Special Election to replace MTG.
The Cobb County Republican Assembly chapter collaborated with other GRA chapters in the 14th Congressional District to host this fantastic event, including the Etowah Republican Assembly (in Floyd County), the NWGRA, and the Chattooga RA chapter. A huge shout out to the army of volunteers who worked hard to make the event a success!
Of the 17 qualified Republican candidates in this race, nine candidates participated and spoke at the event, including:
- Christian Hurd
- Colton Moore
- Eric Cunningham
- Jared Craig
- Jenna Turnipseed
- Marty Brown
- Star Black
- Tom Gray
- Clay Fuller
GRA members were given an opportunity to ask questions and to discuss the candidates prior to nominations and voting. In the end, State Senator Colton Moore (R-Dade) received a striking 90% of the vote — well over the 2/3rds required for endorsement — on the first ballot! This showed the remarkable unity among the membership in support of Moore.
We are grateful to all the candidates who took time to participate in the candidate forum. While several GRA members were eager to stand up and nominate Moore, several other candidates (including ones not present at the event) did not get nominated for endorsement during the convention business due to a lack of interest in their candidacy and due to their failing to receive a motion for a second for their nomination.
Unlike many organizations where endorsements are made by the organization’s leadership, GRA endorsements are decided by the GRA members within the district, ensuring our endorsements truly reflect the perspective of grassroots Republicans.
“I believe that the members chose Colton because they believe that he will fight for them as he has proven before as a senator,” said Angela Rubino, leader of the Etowah Republican Assembly chapter — one of the local GRA chapters which organized the Regional Endorsement Convention.
“Our members view him as a legitimate MAGA candidate,” added Christopher Deeb, the Cobb County Republican Assembly chapter Chairman & President.
Moore previously served under the Gold Dome as a state representative and then as a state senator earning the highest vote score of any state legislator when we compared his voting record to Republican principles such as limited government, free enterprise, the right to bear arms, and the sanctity of life.
“I have followed his voting record since he was a state representative, and he continues to stand with the constitution. America needs more of this!” said Jennifer White, the Chattooga Republican Assembly chapter Chairman. “Colton continues to stand with the people, and GRA members see this and recognize it as strength.”
Now we encourage all of our members to support Colton in his race for Congress! He has had the most principled voting record of any state legislator for the last several years. Let’s help him take that statesmanship and stand-alone moral courage to the U.S. Congress!
