Houston County Republican Party

THE FOLLOWING CANDIDATES HAVE QUALIFIED WITH THE HOUSTON COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY TO RUN IN THE 2008 ELECTIONS.

For almost a year now, Judy and I have been campaigning hard to bring conservative leadership to Georgia's 8th Congressional District. Along the way we have met thousands of great new friends and energized supporters excited about our message of bringing principled leadership to Washington and finally start fixing the problems politicians have done nothing about for decades.

On Monday, April 28^th we make our campaign official when we go to the State Capitol in Atlanta and qualify to be on the ballot. From there we will spend the rest of the week on a 21 county Listening Tour where we will make a stop in each and every county in our district taking the time to listen to what folks are saying.

Too often career politicians seem to forget they work for you and that is why the first thing I am doing as a qualified candidate is going out and listening to what you have to say. I want to listen

Being elected to represent the people here in Middle and South Georgia means more than just casting a calculated vote every now and then, it means becoming your voice in Washington. For too long our voice has been silent and with your help we will change that this November!

See you on the campaign trail,

Rick Goddard
