Rob Teilhet Earns Support from Powerful Macon Area Leaders
Smyrna, GA Powerful leaders from Macon and the surrounding areas endorsed Rob Teilhet, who is running for Attorney General, today. The endorsements include:
• State Representative Bubber Epps (HD 140, Dry Branch)
• Former State Representative Robert Ray (Fort Valley)
• Amy Morton (President of Georgia WIN List)
These influential leaders join other Macon supporters of Rob Teilhet including, Macon City Council President Miriam Lucas Paris , City Councilwoman Lauren Benedict and State Representative Nikki Randall (HD 138, Macon.)
It's truly been an honor to receive the support by these great middle Georgia leaders, said Rep. Rob Teilhet. My supporters know that Georgia needs a strong leader in the office of Attorney General. The Attorney General is so much more than a lawyer prosecuting criminals after a crime has been committed. The Attorney General should be a leader who can create good public policy and offer real solutions that will prevent crime from happening in the first place.
Today's endorsement adds to the campaign's growing list which includes endorsements from the IBEW Local 613 , former legislator and U.S. Senate candidate Jim Martin , Muscogee County Marshal Greg Countryman , DeKalb Solicitor General Robert James , Civil Rights Leaders Representative Tyrone Brooks and Elder Bill Harris , both the current and immediate past Chairmen of the Legislative Black Caucus, Senator Emanuel Jones and Representative Al Williams , eight Democratic State Senators , and over forty current and former Democratic members of the House of Representatives .
Teilhet's campaign for Attorney General focuses on protecting Georgia's children, crime prevention, ethics in government, and consumer protection. Teilhet is widely known as a champion in the General Assembly for protecting Georgians from rip-offs and con artists. He has been a reliable supporter of law enforcement and crime victims as a member of the House Judiciary Committee. Teilhet has also consistently fought for stronger ethics laws.
Rob Teilhet (pronounced tuh-lay) has represented Smyrna and Marietta in the Georgia House of Representatives since his election in 2002 at the age of 28.
