Bullock announces bid to represent Northwest Georgia in U.S. House

- Staff reports

Republican Ben Bullock, a U.S. Air Force veteran, will seek to serve Georgia’s 14th District in Congress after learning that Tom Graves will retire.

Bullock withdrew from the race for the congressio­nal seat representi­ng Georgia’s 7th District, which includes portions of Gwinett and Forsyth counties, to run for the seat for the 14th District in the U.S. House of Representa­tives.

In a recent statement, he stated, “I can think of no greater honor than to serve Northwest Georgia where my family has such deep roots. For over 200 years, my family has lived, served in both the military and elected office, farmed and operated small businesses in the 14th congressio­nal district.

“To continue that legacy is a dream come true, and moving in that direction is where I truly believe that God is leading this campaign team,” he said.

He continued, “and after the recent escalation­s with Iran, I am eager to use my background as a military intelligen­ce officer, which includes years of studying the Iran problem, for our collective mission of strengthen­ing defense and keeping

America safe.”

According to his website, his priority issues include jobs and the economy, national security and veterans, infrastruc­ture, healthcare and the Second Amendment.

The Atlanta Journal-Constituti­on reported that he plans to set up his campaign headquarte­rs in his family’s store in Dallas in Paulding County.
