Byrd Speaks Out

Women often must be asked to run, that's the case made in the USA TODAY article that highlighted Lauren Benedict. (The article also appeared here on AOL, along with her photograph.) Today, one of those who asked Benedict to consider running spoke out. Chuck Byrd, a middle Georgia attorney who describes himself as “a conservative, pro-life Democrat" said, “I was looking for good, well qualified people to represent the working families of Georgia, and Lauren Benedict fits that bill. My wife, Melanie, and I are proud to support Lauren and urge others to do the same." You can find out more about how to support Lauren Benedict here.
