Former Lamar County commission chairman Kent Kingsley announced tonight he will run for the 3rd District seat in the United States Congress as a Republican. He will square off with incumbent Rep. Lynn Westmoreland.
Moving up to the big leagues now. Good luck. Having a US Congressman from Barnesville will probably be the closest thing to winning the lottery that Lamar County will ever experience.
Voting for someone just because they are in your town or county is no different than someone voting because of the color of their skin. Westmore is very conservative and has a great track record of voting conservative. He also is one of the few congressman that signed the "Contract with America." Billy Maddox is the one that needs to be replaced.
wonder who's in his corner...the hardee's boys crew...LOL
