State Representative Charles Jenkins

State Representative Charles Jenkins (D-Blairsville) recently received the endorsement of the Georgia Right to Life Political Action Committee in the November 7, 2006 General Election for his commitment to the protection of human life, born and unborn.

According to GRTL their endorsements are based on responses to their candidate survey, voting history and evaluation of the candidates and their commitment to the cause of life.

Also considered are the aspects of each race, including the reputation of the candidate, the strength of the campaign, and the threat posed by the opponent.

The letter endorsing Jenkins says, "As a candidate who has demonstrated a willingness to stand for sanctity of life, we are especially pleased to commend you and look forward to working with you during the next General Assembly." "Like the citizens of the 8th

House District I have always been a strong supporter of the rights of the unborn and have voted consistently on the issue," said Jenkins.

"Georgia Right to Life is instrumental in this movement and I commend them for their dedication and am honored to receive their endorsement."

Rep. Jenkins, a lawmaker since 2003, serves on the Economic Development and Tourism, Game Fish and Parks and Retirement committees.
