10th district congressional candidate responds to Congressman's lack of interest in GA's children.

Athens, GA. – Bobby Saxon, candidate for Georgia’s Tenth Congressional District, released the following statement in response to U.S. Representative Paul Broun Jr.’s visit to Stevens Creek Elementary. While visiting the Augusta area school, Broun expressed his enthusiasm about a Spanish instruction program badly in need of funding, but made no statements about further financial support.

“With respect to Dr. Broun, his record in Congress has been scarred by disinterest and hypocrisy regarding the youth of our state. By voting against the expansion of S-CHIP and failing to provide an effective alternative to No Child Left Behind, Dr. Broun has made it clear that his personal agenda in Washington has priority over the welfare of Georgia’s children.

“By making misleading statements without the promise of real action to those educating our children, he is giving false hope to a Congressional district badly in need of good leadership. When I’m elected, I will be the Congressman of action, not of talk. I will put work behind my words, and strive to put funding where our children need it most. When I’m elected, I will fight the real fight for our children and our values.”

Bobby Saxon is an Iraq war veteran and small business owner running for Georgia’s Tenth Congressional District. He is a Major in the Georgia National Guard and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pentagon.
