27 September 2009 - The North Georgia State Fair is a major recruiting opportunity for the Cobb GOP and yesterday was no different. I had the opportunity to work the morning shift with Lynn Askea, Barbara Hickey, Wayne Brown, John Delves and District 3 Commission candidates JoAnn Birrell and Earl Stine. Rainey weather discouraged a lot of fair goers, but we still had a good time and hope do a lot of recruiting until the end of the fair on October 4th.
Speaking of District 3 Commission Candidates, I have counted 5 so far - Stephen Moon, Steven Ellis, Troy Welker, JoAnn Birrell, and Earl Stine. I believe all are 1st time candidates for public office and are seeking to replace Tim Lee who will be running for Cobb Commission Chair.Rumor has it Lee may be challenged by former Cobb School Board member Lindsey Tippins.
