Marietta Daily Journal Endorses Brian Kemp For Georgia Governor

The Marietta Daily Journal  has endorsed Republican Brian Kemp for governor, calling him the “obvious” choice to succeed Governor Nathan Deal this November.

In their endorsement, The Marietta Daily Journal praises Kemp’s “record of conservative leadership” while stating that he “will champion small business, defend the Second Amendment and serve as a linebacker against those forces that would reach deep into your pocketbook and take more of your income to feed the insatiable government appetite.”

The Marietta Daily Journal writes:

“In the wild ride that has been the governor’s race, the herd has at last been culled to three. We believe the choice is obvious. Obvious because Gov. Nathan Deal, who leaves Georgia in top form economically and culturally, must be succeeded by one who will continue this record.

Conservative ideals are working for Georgia. To make a hard left and risk higher taxes to pay for unnecessary social programs would be a mistake.

With experience in the private sector, Legislature and the executive branch, and his record of conservative leadership, Brian Kemp is best equipped to continue the successes this state has seen under Gov. Deal. Kemp will champion small business, defend the Second Amendment and serve as a linebacker against those forces that would reach deep into your pocketbook and take more of your income to feed the insatiable government appetite.”
