Last Tuesday in the Republican primary for Insurance
Commissioner, I was honored to receive the votes of almost
ninety-two thousand of my fellow Georgians. I am proud of the
campaign we ran. We stayed positive throughout and advanced the
conservative cause, which I have fought for throughout my entire
career.

While I am disappointed that our campaign was not victorious, I
am still optimistic about the future of our state and the
prospects of the Republican Party to retain this important
constitutional office for another four years. The choice for
Insurance Commissioner is now down to two. I can personally
attest to the credentials of one of those candidates without
hesitation. Ralph Hudgens is a man of faith and character. I
worked closely with Ralph as we chaired the respective Insurance
Committees in the Georgia House and Senate. He shares with me the
belief in a strong conservative approach to government and
support for the free-market.

Michelle and I consider Ralph and Suzanne to be our personal
friends. Ralph and I were both part of a Members' Bible study at
the capitol. He is an honest, ethical straight-shooter who will
make a great Insurance Commissioner. I hope you will join with
me in casting your ballot for Ralph Hudgens for Insurance
Commissioner on Tuesday August 10th.
