State Senate Candidate Addresses White County Republicans
News August 16, 2016
CLEVELAND, Ga. – Annette Davis Jackson, the keynote speaker at Monday’s White County Republican Party meeting, discussed the importance of outreach, especially in the upcoming presidential election.
Speaking at the Nix Student Center on the Truett McConnell University campus, Nix, an African American Republican candidate for Georgia Senate District 55, encouraged Republicans to reach out to Hispanics, the African American community, millennials and disgruntled “Never Trump” Republicans to cultivate votes and help Donald Trumpdefeat Hillary Clinton in November.
“We’re fighting for the face of America.” Jackson said, adding that those groups have more common values than they may realize. “African Americans have been hoodwinked by the Democrat Party. Motivate them to get informed.”
Jackson said a strong outreach program would incorporate many forms of communication such as social media, face to face conversations and signage. She also encouraged Republicans to host a showing of the Dinesh D’Souza film “Hillary’s America: The Secret History of the Democratic Party.” The film defines the Democrat Party as a cynical, criminal enterprise intent on stealing America and Hillary Clinton as a career politician unremarkable in anything but her avarice.
White County Republicans discussed the possibility of showing the film at Freedom Park, White County High School or the Truett McConnell gymnasium.
