Congressional race pits ‘believer’ versus ‘patriot’ | Gwinnett Daily Post

The two candidates for the 7th Congressional District may come from different points on the political spectrum, but both share an unmistakable passion for their country and the district. That passion is evidenced by the candidates’ choice of descriptors.

When asked to describe himself in one word, incumbent Republican candidate Rob Woodall chose “believer.”

“I’m a believer in this community,” he said. “I’m a believer in this country. I’m a believer in that fact that tomorrow is going to be better than yesterday in the United States of America. You have to believe in order to make the opportunities a reality and I believe.”

His opponent, Democrat Thomas Wight, had an equally fervent response in describing himself as a “patriot.”

“I am an American patriot,” he said. “I believe this country is extraordinary. I believe that Americans are extraordinary.”
