| Description | Rep. Paul Broun (R-Ga.) made it official Wednesday after dropping hints for several weeks that he'll run for retiring Sen. Saxby Chambliss’s (R-Ga.) seat.
“I’ll be the only candidate in this race whose first priority is to stop the runaway spending in Washington D.C. I’ve sponsored more legislation to reduce spending than any other Member of Congress from this state,” Broun said in a statement announcing his candidacy.
“Georgians aren’t interested in labels or affiliation, they’re interested in solutions. And that begins by making Washington smaller and America bigger!”
Broun had been publicly discussing a possible bid for the race before Chambliss announced his retirement last month. Broun's wife last week told a group of GOP officials that he planned to run. He filed paperwork to run and announced his bid Wednesday afternoon. |
