Bobby Saxon calls on Congressman to refund taxpayer money
ATHENS, GA – Bobby Saxon, Democratic nominee for the Georgia 10th Congressional District, calls on Congressman Paul Broun, Jr. to refund taxpayer money he wastefully spent on self promoting mailers."I am shocked and dismayed with today’s news that Congressman Broun would be so careless with taxpayer money. He has regularly voted against the interests of hardworking Georgia families; voting against critical programs for needy children, benefits for veterans, and against stronger law enforcement for child pornography, all the while spending our tax dollars promoting his name,” Saxon said.
“Today I call on Paul Broun, Jr. to refund the $562,000 of hard earned taxpayer money that he spent on shameless self promotion. Congressman Broun's hypocritical position on government spending illustrates the need for true positive change in the 10th District. If elected, unlike Congressman Broun, I will provide the responsible leadership this district deserves."
Bobby Saxon is an Iraq War combat veteran and small business owner from Nicholson, Georgia. He is a Major in the Georgia Army National Guard and has served in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Pentagon. Bobby attends Bethany United Methodist Church, is a member of the American Legion Post 56 in Jefferson, GA and the Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 2872 in Athens, GA.

Responsible Bridge Building
ATHENS, GA - Bobby Saxon, Democratic nominee for the Georgia 10th Congressional District, today released a statement in response to Congressman Paul Broun, Jr.'s vote against The National Highway Bridge Reconstruction and Inspection Act. This bill was written in response to the catastrophic bridge collapse in Minneapolis, Minnesota that occurred one year ago today and killed thirteen people.
"I am disappointed that Congressman Broun continues to care more about his personal agenda than he does the citizens of the 10th District,” Bobby said. "Our highways are one of the most visible and important parts of our state and national infrastructure. Bridges are a key link in that infrastructure and we must ensure they are safe for travel. We must put a priority on the safety of our citizens and the proper maintenance of the roads that we all travel.
“Mr. Broun’s vote against the National Highway Bridge Reconstruction and Inspection Act potentially endangered the lives of our most precious resource, our citizens. Fortunately, responsible leadership prevailed and the bill passed on a bipartisan vote of 367-55. 87% of the Congressional delegation voted in favor of safety for their constituents as I would have had I been the Congressman for the 10th District.
“I urge Congressman Broun to thoroughly review spending bills before rejecting them outright. Fiscal responsibility requires a common sense approach that never trumps safety for our citizens. When I am Congressman, I will make fiscally responsible choices that prioritize the safety of my constituents.”
