He is in pain, but resting and doing
Are Republicans hyper-focused on national level politics that we are ignoring our county races? Just taking a casual look at my Facebook feed, I see Georgia Republican activists seemingly more focused on Congressional, US Senate, and Presidential races more so than the local level races.

Two of those men on the field that day were Congressman Barry Loudermilk
