– Gov. Scott Walker today announced U.S. Rep. Doug Collins (R-GA) will
serve as the Georgia state chairman for his presidential campaign.
"I am honored to welcome Congressman Collins, a principled
conservative and devoted public servant, to our growing team," said

contest on the path to the Republican nomination, and we intend to
campaign hard in the state. We appreciate Congressman Collins' gracious

message of fighting and winning with the people of Georgia and America."
"Gov. Walker represents the best of America," said Collins. "He is a
man who lives the values of faith and hard work that make this country
great. He has not only fought for conservative values, but he has
actually won. That is why I am proud to announce my support for Gov.
Walker. I look forward to Gov. Walker continuing at a national level
the legacy of success he has established in Wisconsin to protect
pro-family, religious values, eliminate burdensome regulations, lower
taxes, cut spending, and reduce the size of government."
