Mass Precinct Meeting For Cobb GOP






February 4 2006 - The Cobb County Republican Party held its Mass Precinct Meeting at Osborne High School on Saturday, February 4 from 10 to 12 noon. There was a wide collection of State Representative and Senators, School Board members and wanna-be's and an occasional Precinct Chairman or two.

One of the more interesting announcements was the affirmation by Cindye Coates that she will run for the State house seat again. After narrowly losing last time this came as no big suprise.

A real outsider, John Konop, seems to be gaining some steam in his challenge to Tom Price for the 6th District seat. He addressed the audience on Saturday and has also done several radio appearences. He is challenging Price on immigration, budget, and free trade issues.

Dr. Teresa Plenge welcomed everyone to "Her House", and gave the story about how SPLOST money was used to help rennovate Osborne High School.

John Wiles gave a background briefing on the emminent domain issues.

There were also representatives from the Ralph Reed, Casey Cagle and the Tom Price camps.

Looks to be an interesting campaign season with lots of money to be spent!
