DALTON, Ga. – As her campaign ramps up with two months left until the November special election, appointed U.S. Sen. Kelly Loeffler of Georgia made a stop in Dalton on Monday to meet with voters and talk about the eight months under her belt as a new senator and her plans to stand beside President Donald Trump if elected to the seat.
Loeffler talked to a crowded dining room at Cherokee Brewing and Pizza, owned by Georgia Rep. Kasey Carpenter, R-Dalton, about introducing pro-Second Amendment legislation, advocating against Senate Democrats during Trump’s impeachment hearings and being the business-minded senator she said Georgia needs at a time like this.
Along with Carpenter, Rep. Steve Tarvin, R-Chickamauga, and Sen. Chuck Payne, R-Dalton, helped introduce Loeffler to the crowd of about 40 who took seats at tables, drank local beer and occasionally glanced up at TV screens playing Harry Potter and Tom Cruise movies.
A crowd member Loeffler called out by name was Republican congressional candidate Marjorie Taylor Greene, who along with Loeffler was in Washington, D.C., on Thursday to watch Trump officially accept the Republican nomination.
It didn’t take more than two minutes for Loeffler to mention “how swiftly and violently the radical left would move to replace the American ideal with socialism.”
