Tanner receives endorsement from former governor

DAWSON COUNTY, Ga. — Former Gov. Nathan Deal today endorsed Kevin Tanner for 9th District U.S. Congress.

In making the announcement, Deal said, “Kevin is very special to my family and me. I first met Kevin when he was serving as Deputy Sheriff in Dawson County. Later on in his career he was elected to the State House where he played a vital role in helping with my agenda to move Georgia forward. With everything from dealing with issues like the opioid crisis, transportation, and criminal justice to cutting income taxes and supporting efforts to make and keep Georgia the # 1 state to do business, I could always rely on Kevin to be effective.

State Rep. Kevin Tanner (R-Dawsonville) received the endorsement today of former Gov. Nathan Deal in his campaign for 9th District U.S. Congress.

“Now Kevin is running to continue his service. Running for Congress is a high calling but the atmosphere in Washington has gotten a lot worse since I was there. It really takes someone with a lot of courage to be able to stand up and do the right thing. Kevin will be one of those people. He will be one of those leaders in Congress that we can count on to take the lead and get the job done. I am pleased to endorse Kevin Tanner to be the next Congressman for Georgia’s 9th District.”

Said Tanner, “I am honored to have the support of Governor Deal for my campaign. He has been a strong leader for Georgia, and I was proud to work with him to advance his agenda to move Georgia forward. Now, I am ready to continue the 9th district’s legacy of conservative leadership like that of Governor Deal. In Congress, I will continue my record of fighting to protect our North Georgia families and values.”
