Staff Reports
U.S. Rep. Nathan Deal has announced he is leaving Congress to campaign full time for governor of Georgia.
Deal made the announcement in Gainesville this morning and was planning a statewide fly-in of the announcement, including one for 1:15 p.m. today at the Albany airport.
In making the announcement, Deal stated:
“Having entered the campaign to become the next Governor of Georgia, I have worked very hard to balance the responsibilities of my current office with the demands of sharing my vision for our state.
“The Bible teaches us that ‘To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven.’
“I firmly believe that now is the season for me to devote my full energies to the campaign for governor.”
