Michelle Nunn and her family are on a minivan tour of Georgia, taking the message of her U.S. Senate cities in 14 days.
Nunn, the daughter of former U.S. Sen. Sam Nunn, was in Columbus Thursday, spreading her “What Washington can learn from Georgia” campaign slogan. Some of the lessons she said she would like to take to Washington are civility, compromise and cooperation.
“The power of individuals to lift themselves up and make a difference in the lives of others,” she said. “The capacity of people to work together, despite differences, to get things done.
“I absolutely believe that if we send people to Washington who believe in the spirit of civility and of getting things done, working together, putting aside differences, I think we can see change.”
Nunn’s early poll numbers put her even or slightly ahead of the most prominent Republican hopefuls, U.S. Reps. Phil Gingrey and Jack Kingston, businessman David Purdue and for Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel.
An early Republican tactic has been to tie Nunn, a Democrat, to President Obama, whose disapproval numbers are high in Georgia. Not long after she announced her candidacy, Brad Dayspring, spokesman for the National Republican Senatorial Committee, made reference to “the Obama/Nunn agenda, and the ramifications that it has.”
