A Rising Political Star in Middle Georgia
Johnny Grant III of Milledgeville Georgia is running for the 25th District Senate Seat. He is our Political Rising Star.
He is the Baldwin County Republican Party Chairman, 3rd Congressional District Republican Party Vice Chairman, a Georgia Republican Party State Committee member, and a newly elected delegate to the 2004 National Republican Party Convention.
He was chosen, as part of a group of eight Republican candidates, to greet President Bush at the Greene County Airport.
JOHNNY: "I welcomed him to the 25th Senate District and told him I was running for this Senate Seat. He thanked me for running and wished me "Good Luck." It was tremendously exciting to meet the most powerful man in the world!"
Tom Baxter with the AJC: Bush thanks supporters on Georgia visit
Johnny Grant III has a great news story to tell.
Johnny remembers..."Baldwin County Republican Party could meet in the front seat of a pickup truck."
He remembers..."Running for a county commission seat in the 80's as a Democrat. We all decided that, given the makeup of the district, I had no choice but to run as a Democrat, if I wanted to have a shot"
The Georgia Political landscape has changed. For the first time in 130 years we have a Republican Governor, and a Republican Senate.
Now Johnny is looking forward...Of having more Southern Democrats join the Republican Party.
We are all looking forward...Of having a Republican House.
We are all proud of Johnny Grant and will support him 100%
