Cobb GRA Does Virtual Interviews with Candidates for Cobb County Commission Chair
In lieu of the in-person Candidate Forum that had been planned, due to the Corona virus lockdowns and “stay-at-home” orders, the Cobb County Republican Assembly hosted an online Zoom Interview with each of the candidates for Cobb County Commission Chairman: Ricci Mason, Larry Savage, and Mike Boyce. The interviews were a part of an Electronic Endorsement Convention we hosted to enable our members to vote on endorsement without having to attend in person so as not to have to potentially spread the virus. Now you can watch the entire video on YouTube here:
NFRA Convention Hosted in Georgia!
Our newly elected Cobb RA President Debra Williams served as the event coordinator for the National Federal of Republican Assembly (NFRA) Convention in downtown Atlanta this past weekend. Republican Assembly delegates from across the country came together to network and meet leaders of the Congressional Freedom Caucus and other statesmen share and dine. A special highlight was seeing the Cobb RA’s 1st Vice President Frank Molesky elected as the new Southeast Regional Director for the NFRA. Congratulations, Frank!
GRA Convention held in Cobb County Again!
Cobb County had the honor of hosting the GRA State Convention once again, and this time two of Cobb’s RA Board members were elected to the state Board. Nathaniel Darnell was elected to 3rd Vice President of the GRA and Debra Williams was elected as the National Committeewoman. Alex Johnson from DeKalb and Brant Frost V from Coweta were re-elected as GRA President and 1st Vice President, respectively. Earlier this year, Brant was also elected to the GAGOP Executive Board with the help of GRA members from across the state who voted as delegates at the GAGOP State Convention in Savannah.
New Board Elected at Cobb County Republican Assembly Convention
Today the Cobb County Republican Assembly held its second election of officers to the Cobb RA Board. President Michael Davis retired from the position, and Debra Williams was elected in his place. His wife Katie Davis retired from the position of Treasurer, and Kerry Kee was elected as the new Treasurer. Jeff Souther kindly switched to serve as Secretary, and Frank Molesky was elected as the new 1st Vice President. All the other officers were re-elected in the same positions they held in the previous term. We are grateful for all of them being willing to serve, and we appreciate the vote of confidence for our membership!
It was a special treat to have Dr. Joe Morecraft, the former Republican nominee for Congress of the 7th District in 1986, pastor of Heritage Presbyterian Church, and the preacher at the late Congressman Larry McDonald’s funeral, as the Chaplain of the convention to give the Biblical charge from the book of Isaiah.
