The Georgia Chamber of Commerce announced its endorsement of John LaHood in the special election for State House District 175 covering Brooks, Lowndes, and Thomas counties.

“One issue that the Chamber strongly prioritizes is improving quality of life for communities and businesses in rural Georgia,” said David Raynor, Georgia Chamber Senior Vice President of Public Affairs. “As a pro-business candidate, we believe John will work to implement policies and practices that encourage prosperity to all areas of our great state, and we look forward to working with him if elected.”

“I am proud to receive the endorsement of the Georgia Chamber of Commerce,” said HD175 candidate John LaHood. “As a fourth generation business owner, I understand the complexities entrepreneurs face while creating quality jobs and delivering on their promise to consumers. While Georgia is the No. 1 state to do business, rural Georgia faces unique challenges. I look forward to working with the Georgia Chamber and other key stakeholders as we strive to ensure all of Georgia’s brightest days are ahead.”

Early voting for the special election begins today, January 22, followed by Election Day on Tuesday, February 13. For more information on John and his campaign, visit www.lahoodforgeorgia.com.
