State Rep. from Forsyth Announces Re-Election Bid

State Rep. Geoff Duncan, R-Cumming, on Sunday formally announced his campaign for re-election in District 26, which is comprised of the eastern portion of Forsyth County, according to a press release.

Duncan has produced a voting record at the capitol that is consistent with his principled conservative values and continues to display his passion for faith, family, freedom and life, the release says. A small business owner, Duncan has focused on fostering private sector job creation, reducing unnecessary government spending and fighting to eliminate regulations and taxes on families and businesses.

“It has been an honor to serve the citizens of Forsyth County,” Duncan in the release. “During our first  campaign, we pledged to not just make this about winning an election but to create a conservative movement throughout Georgia. 

“Today, I am proud to report that we have answered that call and we are gaining momentum all across this great state.”

During the 2013 regular session of the Georgia General Assembly, Duncan introduced H.R. 108, Save Our Secret Ballot.

“H.R. 108 gives voters not only an opportunity to protect one of their most fundamental rights, it safeguards them against future action,” Duncan said. “Perhaps as important, it sends a strong message to taxpayers and businesses that while some states may be sitting idle, Georgia is committed to defending its economy for both the short and long-term.”

Duncan serves on the House Banks & Banking Committee, Science & Technology Committee and Interstate Cooperation Committee.

He and his wife, Brooke, live in south Forsyth County with their three sons Parker, 11; Bayler, 8; and Ryder, 3. The Duncan's worship at Browns Bridge Community Church in Cumming.
