Political Pulse: Deals daughter backs Zoller
Placeholder Image
On Wednesday, Martha Zoller got an endorsement from She-Pac.None of the other candidates in the race to represent Georgia’s newest U.S. House seat complained.The political action committee seeks to have conservative women elected to statewide or federal office.Clifton McDuffie, Doug Collins, Hunter Bicknell and Roger Fitzpatrick are all men — a fact none of them can change if he wants any chance at winning a Republican primary in one of Georgia’s most conservative congressional districts.All the same, Zoller’s campaign held a “Women for Martha” luncheon at the Frances Meadows Aquatic and Community Center, at which Gov. Nathan Deal’s daughter, Carrie Deal Wilder, served as the emcee.Deal, until he ran for governor, represented much of the new 9th District in the House for nearly two decades.And since Deal became governor, Collins — Zoller’s No. 1 target in this year’s race — has been one of the governor’s floor leaders in the state House.The governor has publicly shied away from any discussion of this race.
