Campaign themes
2016
Fuller's campaign website listed the following themes for 2016:
| “ |
Jeff has been a Republican his whole life. Prior to living in Paulding Jeff served as Assistant Treasurer of the Cobb Republican Party, in his early 20's, having been elected at the county convention! He has also, throughout the last 10 years, in Paulding, been involved with Paulding Republicans. At first it looked as if this was a three-way race, but one candidate filed a non-partisan affiliation for this seat....we need to elect strong conservative republicans to our school board. We do not need any chance of a democrat or third party (non partisan), infiltrating our board. For such a time as this, and the moral decline of our nation, it is imperative that we elect someone with Republican and Tea Party values. Vote: Jeff Fuller on May 24th Republican Primary! Where Jeff stands on certain issues that you may like to know, whether they are related to school board or not, if there are some missing, or not mentioned, feel free to contact Jeff.
