MOULTRIE — A candidate for Georgia secretary of state came through Moultrie Tuesday to announce a new campaign website.
On the heels of rolling out his Cut Red Tape initiative and SAFE Elections Plan, Brian Kemp, a Republican candidate for secretary of state, launched his new campaign website, www.kempmeansbusiness.com, Tuesday.
“Our new website is more like an online campaign HQ where voters can download my full Kemp Means Business Plan, connect through social networking, share their support with friends through our Tell a Friend feature, and keep up to date on the latest developments on the Kemp Means Business Tour of Georgia,” Kemp said. “I am proud of the surging momentum our campaign has developed over the last couple of months.
“The Kemp campaign for secretary of state is the first campaign, in either party, to detail a comprehensive plan for protecting the integrity of our elections, creating new jobs, improving efficiencies in the office, and inspiring charity,” he said. “The voters are clearly responding to proven leadership with a clear vision of building on past successes and taking the effectiveness of this office to a new level.”
Kemp, one of four candidates for Secretary of State, said he was a small business owner and a lifelong resident of Athens, Ga. He served two terms in the Georgia State Senate, serving as chairman of the Public Safety and Homeland Security, vice chairman of Higher Education and Secretary of Agriculture and Consumer Affairs. He also served as a member of the Senate Appropriations Committee.
“I am running because I believe Georgians want a government that does what it promises and won’t waste tax money,” Kemp said.
Having served as a state senator, Kemp said he is best qualified to become the next secretary of state because of his legislative experience. He understands the process to get things done in state government and wants to see all of Georgia’s economic development prospects grow. He also knows about economic development through his real-world experience as a small business owner.
Bringing an end to potential voter fraud is also a big issue in this campaign, Kemp said. He is committed to ensure all Georgians vote in a fair election, and he pledged to go after anyone who tries for commit voter fraud.
“If it comes down on my watch,” Kemp said, “we’ll come down on them hard.”
Kemp said he understands that all of Georgia needs to be a part of the state’s economic development. Atlanta may be the engine that runs the state’s economic future, but all of Georgia needs to be a part, both in helping existing businesses and bringing new ones into the state.
“There’s folks in state government that care about all of Georgia from an economic development standpoint,” Kemp said. “There’s a lot of other great places in this state with the potential for economic development.”
