Athens, GA - Congressional candidate Bobby Saxon drew an endorsement and praise today from two major newspapers in his home county of Jackson, the Commerce News and the Jackson Herald.
The Commerce News, which officially endorsed Saxon, stated that he would be a "a vast improvement over incumbent Paul Broun." In explaining their endorsement, the paper stated that Broun has been "virtually useless in Washington" and "has little to say or do about issues that affect life here in Georgia."
While the Jackson Herald did not officially endorse in this race, their words of praise for Saxon were just as loud. According to the Mike Buffington, editor of the Jackson Herald, "Washington needs more moderate voices like Saxon, leaders who aren't in an ideological straight jacket."
Saxon, a Jackson County native, has had a strong week of endorsements so far. On Tuesday he received a ringing endorsement from the normally conservative Athens Banner-Herald.
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.
