Former Forsyth County Republican Party Chairman and local attorney Ethan Underwood announced that he will run for State House District 24 in the Special Election to fill the seat recently vacated by Mark Hamilton.

“I first want to thank Mark Hamilton for his service. He has done a lot of good for our community, and he will be missed,” said Underwood.

“It is now time to elect a new conservative leader to serve our families, and I am excited to announce my candidacy. I have worked tirelessly to advance our conservative principles as a leader in our local Republican Party, and as an attorney, I fight every day to uphold the Constitution, protect the rights of individuals and fight for those threatened by increasing property taxes and burdensome government regulation. I am running to take that record to the State House to champion the conservative principles we share, ensure that our government adheres to its Constitutional functions and make decisions that best serve the people of this district,” continued Underwood in his announcement.

“I understand that the laws passed by the Legislature affect real people in the real world, so the question I will always ask before supporting any measure is, “what is best for the people of Forsyth County and Georgia?” I look forward to working to earn the support and trust of the people of District 24,” continued Underwood.

Former Representative Hamilton has endorsed Underwood. “It has been an honor to serve the people of District 24 in the State House, and I thank them for their trust. Now I am proud to endorse Ethan Underwood. I know Ethan, and I trust him. He is a capable and conservative leader who I know will be a champion for our families.

Ethan will continue the fight to solve our long-term transportation challenges, fight to keep taxes low and protect our shared values.

Please join me in supporting Ethan Underwood for State House,” said Hamilton in his endorsement.
