Republicans plan to kill “entitlements”—–
NEWS: Republican leaders have announced plans to end Social Security & Medicare spending if they take back Congress.
WASHINGTON POST, August 3: “Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) has suggested that Social Security and Medicare be eliminated as federal entitlement programs and that they should instead become programs approved by Congress on an annual basis as discretionary spending.”
Sen. Rick Scott, Chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee proposed to let the programs expire every five years. Read Rick Scott’s plan: “All federal legislation sunsets in 5 years” here.
Rabun County seniors rely on Medicare and Social Security and Medicare. Unfortunately, Georgia Republicans in Congress and the State Legislature vote as a block to weaken the protections you paid for with your payroll deductions.
This November, vote for Democrats who will protect your rights against extreme Republican interests.
We are working to protect Social Security and Medicare.
Preserve democracy, women’s health, Medicare, Social Security, and your right to privacy. Get out and vote for Democrats in North Georgia.
Mike Ford
U.S. Congress Ninth District
I swore an oath to support and defend our Constitution when I enlisted in the US Army in 1965. I swore this oath again when I was admitted to practice before the State and Federal Courts. I take those words seriously.
Elected officials must have the moral courage to speak the truth and do their duty. As a Congressman, I will bring moral courage to the office. I am running to make a difference for the people of the 9th District.

WHY WE RUN AS DEMOCRATS IN NORTH GEORGIA
We chose to run in this heavily Republican district because our democracy works best when voices from all parties participate. In November, you have a critical choice to vote for Democratic candidates who wish to advance the interests of all North Georgians – instead of extremist Republicans who will take our state backward just to get elected. A few percentage votes in a statewide election make a big difference in turning Georgia Blue.
Vote for your fellow citizens from Northeast Georgia – Mike Ford, Kim Floria, Paulette Williams, and Devin Pandy.
Paulette Williams
State Senate District 50 – Northeast Georgia
I am a long-time Rabun County resident who advocates for all my Northeast Georgia neighbors. As a US Army Veteran, I can see that our Democracy is at stake.
Small rural areas like Northeast Georiga can make a difference in the State Senate. State legislatures all over the country are restricting the right to vote, a woman’s right to privacy, and the right to the healthcare we paid for with our tax dollars. We need strong leadership to keep our schools open, Main Street thriving, hospitals from shutting down, and opportunities alive with full broadband.

Kim Floria
Georgia House District 30 – South Hall & NE Gwinnett
I am running to represent you because I believe our community deserves someone who will give back. I’d be honored to use my tireless energy to help this community become an even better place for our children.
I learned the value of justice and equality from my father, who practiced law and often provided pro-bono services to those who didn’t have the means to pay. Let’s celebrate our differences while acknowledging what we have in common.

Devin Pandy
State House District 29 – Northeast Georgia
I am a man of faith, a husband, and a father. As a retired US Army combat veteran, I continue to serve my country by serving my community, and I will never stop serving you.
The government has no business in your doctor’s office or in the privacy of your home. It certainly has no ground to infringe on the personal decisions you make about your health.
