U.S. Senator Johnny Isakson, R-Ga., today released a grassroots organization of nearly 150 Georgia agriculture leaders who have endorsed his 2016 campaign for re-election. The group, "Ag for Isakson," includes many who have advised Isakson on issues critical to their industry.
"Ag for Isakson" is led by Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black, along with leaders and members of the agriculture community from across the state. The organization is part of Isakson's overall strategy to reach Georgia voters from every region and network in the state. A full list of the "Ag for Isakson" grassroots network can be found here.
"Johnny Isakson is the farmer's friend, a champion for all of agriculture and an American patriot," said Commissioner Black. "I'm very honored to support him. If there was ever a time in our nation when we needed Johnny Isakson, it is now!"
"Agriculture is Georgia's number one industry, and I am proud that so many farmers, ranchers and growers have put their confidence in me," said Isakson. "I have been honored to fight for the jobs provided on the farm, in the factory, in transportation and at restaurants. This administration is hurting producers with horrendous regulations such as "Waters of the United States,' and is destroying family farms with the death tax. I have fought against both, and I look forward to continuing to work to help rural Georgians."
"Ag for Isakson" joins a dedicated team of more than 1,600 Georgians from across all 159 counties in the state who have volunteered to help lead his 2016 campaign and ensure success on Election Day. In August, Isakson announced that the entire Georgia Republican congressional delegation along with Governor Nathan Deal and Republican statewide elected officials had endorsed his re-election.
