ATHENS, GA – Bobby Saxon, Democratic nominee for the Georgia 10th Congressional District, calls on Congressman Paul Broun, Jr. to refund taxpayer money he wastefully spent on self promoting mailers.
"I am shocked and dismayed with today’s news that Congressman Broun would be so careless with taxpayer money. He has regularly voted against the interests of hardworking Georgia families; voting against critical programs for needy children, benefits for veterans, and against stronger law enforcement for child pornography, all the while spending our tax dollars promoting his name,” Saxon said.
“Today I call on Paul Broun, Jr. to refund the $562,000 of hard earned taxpayer money that he spent on shameless self promotion. Congressman Broun's hypocritical position on government spending illustrates the need for true positive change in the 10th District. If elected, unlike Congressman Broun, I will provide the responsible leadership this district deserves."
Bobby Saxon is an Iraq War combat veteran and the owner of an ACT! software training and consulting company that focuses on the technology needs of small businesses. Bobby grew up in Oconee county and now lives in Nicholson, GA. He is a Major in the Georgia Army National Guard and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pentagon. Bobby attends Bethany United Methodist Church, is a life member of the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2872 in Athens, GA, the American Legion, Post 56 in Jefferson, GA, and a life member of AMVETS post 10 in Athens, GA.
