GA House candidate CJ Pearson announces forgoing running in May Primary Election, focusing on working on Trump’s election

GROVETOWN, Ga. (WJBF) – Georgia House candidate CJ Pearson has announced that he would not be running in the upcoming May Primary Election.

Pearson states that his reason to forgo running in the primary is to focus on working towards Former President Donald Trump’s election.

“Re-electing President Trump, keeping Georgia red, and fighting for America First policies in every corner of the country will be my priority through the November elections,” says Pearson. “Columbia County is my home and I’ll never stop fighting for our Columbia County values on the political stage.”
