Senate District 9 endorsements and debates

Mike Beaudreau and P.K. Martin have dueling endorsements in recent days, in their race for the State Senate District 9 GOP primary runoff.

Beaudreau announced an endorsement by Georgia Carry, an influential organization in the 2nd Amendment rights.

“I am deeply honored to be endorsed by Georgia Carry,” the former county commissioner said. “As the new state senator from District 9, I will preserve all of our Second Amendment rights and I will proudly fight for the freedoms given to us by the Constitution of this great country.”

Martin, a former Lawrenceville councilman, got the backing of state Sen. Renee Unterman, who was one of the biggest allies of Don Balfour, the incumbent the two beat out in May’s primary.

“I am endorsing P.K. Martin because we need him in the State Senate, Unterman said. “He is a proven conservative we can trust to join us in passing conservative reforms. More importantly, we need someone in the Senate who has the ability to work with others to get things done. P.K. Martin is the proven choice. I encourage the people of District 9 to support him in the runoff.”
