Fellow Farmers, We write today as state legislators. More importantly, we write to you as Georgia farmers who have had the unique experience of witnessing the intersection of governmental policy and the effects those policies can have on our family farms. We each fight in Atlanta every day during the legislative session on behalf of the Agriculture community. In the environment under the Gold Dome, we learn pretty quickly who has the backs of our state's farm families and rural Georgia. We can tell you unequivocally that Lt. Governor Burt Jones has been a steadfast friend to agriculture and rural Georgia. Even during times when it would've been easier, and perhaps even more politically prudent to go in a different direction, he has stood by and fought for the interests of the agriculture industry and farming families in both his former role as a State Senator and now as Lt. Governor. Combined, those who signed this letter represent families who have farmed for generations. Burt and his family have farmed on the same land in Butts County for six generations. We may be Senators and Representatives while the legislature is in session, but we are always full-time farmers. We each know, without a doubt in our hearts, that Burt Jones is the person we trust most to fight for our family farms and yours too. That is why we are supporting him in his campaign to be our next Governor and humbly ask you to join us in voting for Burt Jones on June 16th. May God bless your families, your farms, and our shared future. Your friends, Senator Russ Goodman Senator Lee Anderson Representative Angie O'Steen Chairman, Senate Agriculture Committee Chairman, Senate Natural Resources Committee House Agriculture Committee Representative Robert Dickey Senator Drew Echols Representative Jutt Howard Chairman, House Agriculture Committee Chairman, Senate Economic Development Committee House Agriculture Committee Senator Sam Watson Representative John Corbett Senate Agriculture Committee House Agriculture Committee Paid for by WBJ Leadership Committee, Inc Fellow Farmers, We write today as state legislators.
