Republican presidential candidate Newt GingrichRepublican presidential candidate Newt Gingrich will hold a public rally in Dalton on Tuesday.
The former House speaker who began his political career in Georgia will appear during an hourlong rally starting at 11 a.m. at the Northwest Georgia Convention Center, officials said. The event is open to the public.
The appearance is scheduled exactly a week before voters from Tennessee, Georgia and eight other states cast presidential primary ballots on what’s known as “Super Tuesday” – March 6.
“We’re calling this ‘The Super Bus Tour Before Super Tuesday,'” said Susan Meyers, a spokeswoman for Gingrich.
Gingrich’s Dalton rally will come three days after one of his fellow GOP challengers, former U.S. Sen. Rick Santorum of Pennsylvania, speaks at a Chattanooga Tea Party event at Abba’s House, a church in Hixson.
