Oconee Board Of Commissioners Candidate Says He Didn’t Ask Nevada Congressman For $2,000 Campaign Donation

Marcus Wiedower says he doesn’t know the Nevada Congressman who gave him $2,000 for his campaign for Post II on the Oconee County Board of Commissioners.

Weidower said the $2,000 contribution came as a result of request on Wiedower’s behalf by Richard Goddard, who served as chief of staff for Congressman Mark Amodei from October of 2011 to February of 2015.

Goddard is the president of The Southern Brewing Company in Athens and lives in Lane Creek subdivision in western Oconee County.

Goddard confirmed that he made the request of Amodei because of his relationship with Wiedower.

Goddard said that Wiedower has been a leader at High Shoals Elementary School and that he also knows Wiedower because their children play sports together.
