Deal for Governor today announces the endorsement of the vast majority of state Senate Republicans. In all, 24 of the body's 34 Republicans have publicly signed as Deal backers.
"Nathan Deal is the principled conservative leader who can work with the Legislature to make the tough decisions that face our state in the coming years," said President Pro Tem Tommie Williams (R-Lyons).
Majority Leader Chip Rogers (R-Woodstock) praised Deal's commitment to budget responsibility. "In the Senate, we've fought for zero-based budgeting and lower taxes for Georgia's families and job creators," Rogers said. "Nathan's Real Prosperity plan will deliver both. Nathan's plan makes our state more competitive, implements our vision for smaller government and will create new jobs for Georgians."
"I'm honored by the support of our state's conservative elected leaders. It's humbling that officials who have worked with both candidates and know us both personally agree that I'm the best candidate to lead this state over the next four years," Deal said. "These public servants represent the voice of Georgia's people. A good working relationship between the governor and the people's elected representatives benefits all Georgians."
In addition, three Republican Senate nominees, virtually assured of election, have endorsed Deal.
