The Friends of Retired Brigadier General Shawn Harris, a highly decorated and respected military veteran with over four decades of service, are inviting all citizens of Chattooga and the surrounding counties to a special meet and greet event coming up this evening at the Chattooga County Ag Building.

As a candidate for the US House of Representatives in District 14, which encompasses parts of northwest Georgia, General Harris is eager to connect with the local community and share his vision for the region. Growing up on a family farm in rural Georgia, Harris learned the value of hard work, self-reliance, and community at a young age. After serving with distinction in the Marine Corps, Army, and National Guard, he brings a wealth of leadership experience and a deep understanding of the challenges facing both military members and civilians. From leading combat missions against the Taliban in Afghanistan to providing critical humanitarian aid during the Ebola crisis in Liberia, Harris has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to public service and the betterment of his country. Now, as he seeks to represent the people of Northwest Georgia in Congress, Harris is emphasizing the need for bipartisanship and a focus on practical solutions to issues like healthcare, economic development, and support for the agricultural sector.

Attendees at this evening’s cookout will have the opportunity to engage directly with the candidate, enjoy a delicious meal, and learn more about his priorities and qualifications. This event promises to be an informative and engaging opportunity for the community to meet a seasoned military leader and cattle farmer who is dedicated to championing the interests of all Georgians, regardless of political affiliation.

The meet and greet starts at 5:30 PM at the Chattooga County Agricultural Center located on Middle School Road off Highway 100 in Summerville.
