Atlanta Tea Party Co-Chairman and Conservative Leader Julianne Thompson Endorses Jack Kingston for United States Senate

Julianne Thompson, Co-Chairman of the Atlanta Tea Party and a well-known state and national leader in the conservative movement, issued the following statement regarding the U.S. Senate race:

“Since the beginning of the Republican primary I was a very vocal supporter of my friend Karen Handel. Karen came in third in the primary and graciously commented on election night that we must remember we cannot give Harry Reid another seat in the U.S. Senate. I could not agree more.

“Over the past week I have taken great strides to study both candidates in the run-off for United States Senate…their stances on issues as well as the way they conducted themselves during their respective campaigns and upon winning the top two spots.

“As a conservative activist who has worked hard promoting the causes of limited government, free market capitalism, lower taxes, and a balanced budget it is important to me to back a candidate whom I know shares the same values. We do not need someone to be another member of the Senate Country Club. We need courage…someone who is strong enough to fight for our principles in an atmosphere that is sometimes very difficult. We also need someone who is accessible and respects the fact that the people that elected him will hold him accountable. That is why I am supporting Jack Kingston for United States Senate. Jack doesn’t just talk the talk, he has walked the walk and is the only candidate who has been in the trenches fighting alongside fellow conservatives.

“One would be hard-pressed to find someone they agree with 100% of the time. My husband and I do not even agree on everything, but if you find someone you can agree with 80% of the time you have found an ally, as Ronald Reagan once said. I agree with Jack much more than that, and after an extensive conversation I had with him this week, I know he is the candidate that can not only beat Michelle Nunn, but will also continue to put the best interests of Georgians ahead of politics and personal gain.

“The bottom line is our nation is in dire straights and there is no time for on the job training. Jack Kingston is a strong fiscal conservative with a 96% rating from American Conservative Union. He is a pro-life, pro-second amendment, Constitutional conservative that I trust. He has and will serve Georgia with dignity and diplomacy, and stands ready to fight strong and hard when necessary. He is ready to lead from day one.

“Please join me in supporting Jack Kingston for United States Senate.”
