7th District Gains Conservative Leadership Role in Washington

On Wednesday, U.S. Representative Rob Woodall (GA 07) officially became Chairman of the Republican Study Committee (RSC) after being unanimously elected by RSC members last week. Following the departure of former Chairman Steve Scalise (LA -01) to serve as Majority Whip, Woodall was selected for the leadership role of the conservative caucus within the U.S. House. Already an active member of the committee as Chairman of the Budget and Spending Task Force, Woodall authored the single most conservative budget in Congress earlier this year, bringing federal spending to balance in just 4 years.

As an incubator for conservative policies on Capitol Hill, the RSC’s selection of Woodall is representative of what he calls the values of the Seventh District and the importance of the 7th District’s voice not only in Georgia, but also in Washington.

Chairman’s Message, July 7th, 2014

Good Morning Fellow Gwinnett Republicans,

I hope each of you had a fantastic Independence Day Weekend and, in between the fireworks, parades, hotdogs and BBQ took time to say a prayer for our Nation and to remember the great sacrifices made by our Founding Fathers some 238 years ago when they signed our Declaration of Independence from Great Britain.

We are still a young country in comparison to many but our youth, coupled with our wisdom, heritage and love of freedom still makes us the “shining city on the hill” where so many people desire to live, work and raise their families.

As Republicans, we believe deeply in the words inscribed at the base of the Statue of Liberty and welcome those who would seek their own American Dream. However, we also believe deeply in the rule of law on which our Nation stands and expect those who would come to our country to find their American Dream to following those laws.

Celebrate Independence Day with the 7th District GOP

The Seventh District Independence Day party and fireworks is changing locations and changing days. Chairman Jason Thompson has moved his office to downtown Lawrenceville, and that’s the site for this year’s event. And, because Lawrenceville has its celebration on July 3rd instead of on the 4th, that’s when the 7th district will get together.

Stop by Jason’s new office at 162 East Crogan Street (opposite the Lawrenceville Visitor’s Center and the parking garage) beginning at 5:30 PM for free food and a chance to mingle with your GOP friends. Our special guest in Senate Candidate Jack Kingston, and we have invited other elected officials to attend as well.

Rep. Woodall Introduces Bipartisan Legislation to Eliminate Congressional Perk

From a press release:

Today, U.S. Representative Rob Woodall (R-GA-07) and U.S. Representative Tammy Duckworth (D-IL-08) introduced H.R. 4872, the “Ending Special Mail Privileges for Congress Act of 2014.” This bipartisan legislation repeals an antiquated federal law, known as the Franking privilege, that allows Members of Congress to use their signature in the corner of an envelope as postage and exempts Congress from the United States Postal Service’s (USPS) prepayment requirement. Though originally adopted by the Continental Congress in 1775, the Franking privilege still allows Congressional offices to send millions of dollars’ worth of mail through the USPS each year without first paying for the postage.

Chairman’s Message – May 23, 2014

Fellow Republicans,

First things, first. The Gwinnett GOP sends its well wishes and prayers to Trey Balfour son of State Senator Don Balfour. As most of you know, Trey fell ill while serving our Nation in Afghanistan this week. Senator Balfour reported on his Facebook Page Tuesday that his son is out of ICU but continues to need our prayers. On the eve of Memorial Day weekend, we thank Trey for his continued service and hope for his speedy and complete recovery!

Now – on to the other news of the week. Did you vote Tuesday? If so, THANK YOU for stepping up when 86% of your fellow Gwinnetians did not.
