Former Georgia Republican Congressman Jack Kingston has been named Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party Foundation. The volunteer position is responsible for assisting with the fundraising efforts of the State Republican Party. Kingston brings a wealth of fundraising experience, a rolodex like few others, and a well-known penchant for frugality. Jack has raised tens of millions of dollars for Republican campaigns and conservative causes.

“It is an honor to be asked to serve in this role and to help grow our Georgia Republican Party. Given the disastrous results we’ve seen under 6 years of the current administration, Republicans have to win the White House in 2016. To do this successfully we have to field the largest grassroots effort this state has ever seen and raise the necessary resources to make this possible. I am committed to doing just that,” said Kingston.

GAGOP Chairman John Padgett said, “We are thrilled to have Jack Kingston on board and look forward to his leadership of the Foundation. Jack has been working to grow our party for decades and this latest effort shows just how committed he is to that end. We will work together to take the White House in 2016 and keep Georgia red. Hillary Clinton, Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren or whatever radical, left-wing, liberal candidate the Democrats nominate must be stopped before further damage is inflicted upon our nation.”

“Georgia Republicans have two major goals for 2016: Re-elect Johnny Isakson as our senior senator and put our GOP nominee for president in the White House,” said Governor Nathan Deal.  ”With my longtime friend and colleague Jack Kingston chairing the Georgia Republican Party Foundation, we have the right leader in place to ensure we have the resources we need to win.”

“I am excited to work with the GAGOP leadership including John Padgett as Chairman, Foundation Chair Jack Kingston and the entire Victory Committee as we keep Georgia red next November,” said U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson.

“Congressman Kingston is an excellent choice for this appointment and I look forward to working with him to help ensure that the Georgia Republican Party is in a strong position for victory in 2016 and beyond,” said U.S. Senator David Perdue.  ”Together we will make sure we have the resources and organization needed to keep Georgia red and keep fighting for conservative values.”
