Dan Moody Gains Endorsements From Republican State Leaders

JOHNS CREEK, GA -- Two Georgia state legislators have endorsed a Republican in the race to represent the state's 6th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives.

State Sen. John Albers and State Rep. Chuck Martin, Republicans from Roswell and Alpharetta, respectively, have thrown their support behind former State Rep. Dan Moody.

Albers said he's known Moody for many years, and referred to the former legislator as a mentor, "a leader for our state and will be the congressman we need."

"I have long admired his accomplishments, especially serving families, first responders, military personnel and small businesses," he added.

Martin agreed, adding he's known Moody for more than 15 years. Moody, he added, has never put himself ahead of the voters he was elected to represent. He also noted he worked for the district and for the state of Georgia, making his support of the candidate a "clear choice."

"If you want the 6th District represented by a selfless, humble, and hardworking public servant, please join Johnna and I and support Dan Moody,” Martin said.

Moody said he's proud to have the support of both Albers and Martin, stating that he's worked with both men on "numerous issues in the Georgia General Assembly."

Their support, Moody added, will be a big factor in his campaign's success on Election Day. Moody was elected to the Georgia State Senate in 2002 and as an advocated for term limits, left office in 2010.

Early voting in the race began March 27, and runs through Friday, April 14. For more details about early voting in the race, click here.
