1st Gwinnett GOP Republican Rumble and Chili Cook-off Well Attended

An estimated crowd of 200-250 people assembled in Thrasher Park in Norcross Saturday as elected officials, candidates, conservative groups and individuals competed for honors and bragging rights in the Gwinnett GOP 1st Annual Republican Rumble and Chili Cook-off.

Rachel Little, Chairman of the Gwinnett GOP said “Today was a busy day in Georgia with events scheduled all over the State.  The candidates for US Senate and Congressional District 10 made Gwinnett County a priority because they understand that the road to DC runs through Gwinnett.”  She went on to say, “Everyone had a great time and experienced a unique opportunity to meet the candidates and talk to them about issues that are important to Gwinnett County.”
