  • Trust but Verify | Tell Your Representatives to Support Election Integrity
    DEKALB COUNTY REPUBLICAN PARTY Educating Republicans and Empowering Candidates Subject: Trust but Verify | Tell Your Representatives to Support Election Integrity We had an amazing turnout at the DeKalb GOP Breakfast “Restoring Faith, Confidence and Integrity in Georgia’s Elections” featuring State Senator Brandon Beach (21st District) and Representative Ed Setzler (35th District). Shoutouts of gratitude to Former Representative Melvin Everson (106th District) and Captain Harold Earls for leading us in our opening prayer and pledge of allegiance respectively. Thank you to District 11 Chairman Brad Carver and Cobb GOP Chairman Jason Shepherd! Many thanks to Marian Reed of SecurRisk Consulting for being our breakfast sponsor! And a special thank you to all of you who joined us on Saturday morning! You are all leaders! Many of you have asked how to get involved, what is the best way to make your voices heard and how to turn your anger into action. The way to do that is to let your representatives know what you want and show your support of the pending election integrity legislation. This is not about voter suppression or just making it harder to vote as Democrats would like you to believe. Rather it is time for all Georgians to “Trust but Verify”. That is exactly what the current election reform bills are trying to do. Trusting that you are the person voting but verifying in order to keep your vote protected, no matter what side of the aisle you are on! YOUR CALL TO ACTION! Reach out via calls and emails to our elected leaders and tell them to support HB531, SB40, SB67, SB184, and SB188.
