Mike Miller Denounces Anonymous Mailer and Robocall in House District 66 Race
Miller challenges opponents to more ethical campaigning.
- Atlanta, GA (1888PressRelease) July 13, 2012 - Today Mike Miller, candidate for Ga. State House District 66, denounced the dissemination of an anonymous mailer and robocall sent to voters in Douglas and Paulding counties.
"I am greatly disappointed that an anonymous mailer and robocall has been disseminated to the voters of House District 66 attacking me with false smears and lies under the guise of coming from Douglas County GOP Chairman Bert Blood," said Miller. "Chairman Blood has already done a statement and a robocall on my behalf stating that he did not authorize the anonymous mailer in question."
In an anonymous mailer containing an improper and unauthorized letter from local GOP Chairman Bert Blood, Miller is attacked for having a volunteer in his campaign from the Georgia Teenage Republicans leadership. Georgia Teenage Republicans are permitted and encouraged to volunteer in campaigns under their by-laws.
"Apparently one of my opponents has hired consultants who must get drunk, sit around and do stupid anonymous mailers and robocalls," a fired-up Miller said. "One of these candidates should take responsibility for these deplorable tactics by his consultants."
As a member of the Douglas County School Board, Mike fought for transparency and accountability and has continued those principles in his campaign for the state legislature. A proponent of ethics and openness in government, he would also like to see more transparency and accountability in campaigning.
"If elected to serve the people of House District 66, I will work to sponsor legislation that will require local and state candidates to take responsibility for all aspects of their campaign, including all mailers and robocalls," said Miller. "Anonymous attack mailers and robocalls in campaigns keep good people from running for office in Georgia."
