Kemp Uses Oconee Bus Tour Stop To Promote Local House Candidates

Republican Brian Kemp brought his bus tour to Oconee County Monday to raise money for and stir up interest in his campaign.

He made it clear, however, that he also wanted to help Houston Gaines and Marcus Wiedower, who are trying to unseat Democrats Deborah Gonzalez and Jonathan Wallace, holders of the House District 117 and House District 119 seats respectively.

On Nov. 6, Kemp said, the Republican Party, through hard work and high voter turnout, will “take back these two seats in Oconee County.”

John Watson, chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, who headed the program for the brief stop on Kemp’s Republican Road to Victory Tour, also called for taking back what he called “two critical Republican seats.”

Just under 100 attended the event, held at the Pavilion at Oconee Veterans Park on Hog Mountain Road.

Details of the story, with a video of the speakers, are at Oconee County Observations.
