Smith announces run for District 9 seat By Alexander Popp apopp@dawsonnews.com Clint Smith, former chairman of the Dawson County Republican Party and Georgia State House Representative announced on Friday that he would be seeking election to the State House District 9 leg islative seat. “After much prayer and consultation with family, friends, local elected offi cials and current legislators, I feel that it is my responsi- Smith bility to serve and offer an experienced, true conserva tive option who will be a voice for the people and not the trial lawyers and the banking industry,” Smith said in a press release. “My track record of conservative principles speaks for itself.” A longtime Republican activist, Smith served in the Georgia House of Representatives for eight years from 1995- 2003. District 9, which has been held by State Rep. Kevin Tanner (R-Dawsonville) for four terms, represents por tions of Lumpkin, Dawson and Forsyth counties. In his announcement, Smith said that he would be focus ing on job growth, education, senior citizens and agriculture as his main campaign issues. “I feel that we need a seamless transition after Representative Tanner’s term ends and due to my experience, I am the most logical choice for voters,” Smith said.
