“LET THE GAMES BEGIN” says Pickens County GOP, as they will have their meeting on March 11th with a CANDIDATE FORUM at the Pickens County Administration Building, 1266 E. Church Street, beginning at 7 p.m.When Nancy Jester kicked off her campaign for Georgia State School Superintendent last November she said she believes,

“Georgia should provide an on-ramp into a solid, middle class life,” but Jester said for many it’s not happening. “With only 67 percent as our graduation rate, too many children aren’t making it to that road because that on-ramp is broken … Together we can refocus Georgia’s educational spending and priorities. Together we can teach our children about freedom and make sure they inherit it through a solid and meaningful education, and today, together we can start to put the classroom first.”
