NEWNAN, G.A. – Last week, Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss announced he did not plan to seek another term in the U.S. Senate. The announcement set off a flurry of speculation regarding who would run to replace him. Over the last week, Congressman Westmoreland discussed the possibility of running for the U.S. Senate with his family, his friends, and his supporters. Below is his statement.
“I would like to thank those who offered their encouragement and support over the last week as I considered a run for the United States Senate. After discussing it with family and friends, and after much deliberation and prayer, I have made the decision to not pursue a statewide office at this time. I am honored to be serving as the U.S. Congressman for Georgia’s Third District. I look forward to continuing my work in that role, as well as in my new roles with the Financial Services Committee and at the National Republican Campaign Committee, and working to advance the principles of limited government and personal responsibility,” stated Westmoreland.
