The Pickens County Republican Party would like to invite you, your family and friends to our Tomato Sandwich Fund Raiser.

CANDIDATES KICKOFF

CONGRESSIONAL RACE

The Pickens County Republican Party will hold its annual Tomato Sandwich fundraiser at Lee Newton Park on Saturday, June 20, 2009 from 11:30 am til 2:00 pm.

This year’s event will feature the announced candidates to fill the 9^th District US Congress seat to be vacated by Cong. Nathan Deal. In April Cong. Deal announced his candidacy for Governor of Georgia. Since then Mike Evans, Tom Graves and Bill Stephens have announced their candidacy to be US Congressman. All of three will speak at the June 20 event.

Mike Evans has served in the Senate, has been Chair of the Board of the Georgia Department of Transportation and currently serves as the 9^th District representative on the board of the Department of Community Affairs.

Tom Graves is in his fourth term as the House 12^th District member of the General Assembly. His district includes all of Pickens County, half of Gordon County and a portion of Bartow County.

Bill Stephens, a resident of Fannin County, served several terms in the Georgia Senate, representing Cherokee and Pickens County. He was Majority Leader of the Senate during his last term as a senator.

We are fortunate in the 9^th District to have such qualified candidates for Congress and who are willing to take on the rigors of the job and the political campaign.

At the event tomato sandwiches (all-you-can-eat) will be served by members of the PCRP at a cost of $10 per adult, $5 under 12 years and 3 years and under free. Musical entertainment will be provided as well. The funds raised will be used to support Republican Candidates for national, state and local offices.

It is possible that at the event candidacies will be announced for the state representative seat being vacated by Rep.Tom=2 0Graves.

Tickets can be obtained at the park or from any members of the PCRP Executive Committee. If you have any questions contact Larry Toney, Chair, at 706-268-2058 or larrytoney20@aol.com.
