Derek Dooley Rolls Out His Georgia First Contract
ATLANTA – Today, Derek Dooley, the conservative outsider for U.S. Senate, unveiled “The Georgia First Contract,” a five part pledge to the people of Georgia that will guide his service in the U.S. Senate. As Derek travels the state over the next ten weeks, he’ll be signing the Georgia First Contract with hardworking Georgians who want to fire the politicians and elect new leadership to represent our state in the U.S. Senate.
“Congress is failing the American people because too many entrenched D.C. politicians put their own political careers and personal interests ahead of the people they were elected to represent,” said Derek Dooley, Republican candidate for U.S. Senate. “Georgians deserve better and that is why I am running for the U.S. Senate. This isn’t a list of empty promises, but a clear set of standards that will guide every vote I cast and decision I make, and hold me accountable every single day. Unlike the politicians in D.C., I’ll never forget that I work for the people of Georgia.”
1. Georgia First. Always.
My loyalty is to the people of Georgia. Every action I take will be based on what is best for our state and our country, not what helps me win the next election, chase media attention, or score political points. If a proposal strengthens our state and makes America stronger, I will support it. Congress would get more accomplished if no one cared who got the credit.
2. I Will Limit My Own Service
I commit to serve no more than two terms in the U.S. Senate. I will work tirelessly to force a vote on congressional term limits and do what is necessary to get it across the finish line. Ending careerism is the most important step our country can make toward making Washington work for the people again.
3. I Will Not Use Public Office to Get Rich
I will not trade individual stocks or digital assets, nor will I profit from information, access, or influence that comes with holding elected office. I will fight to ban those trades for members of both the House and Senate, their spouses, and senior staff. This blatant corruption in both parties is shameful and erodes public trust.
4. I Will Do the Job I Was Elected to Do
I will not accept pay during a government shutdown. More importantly, I will work to fix the broken system that rewards politicians for failing to do their job by supporting reforms that keep the government open and stop congressional pay and privileges when budgets aren’t passed on time. Congress should not be allowed to use the government to hold the American people hostage.
5. I Will Be Accountable to All Georgians
During my first term in the U.S. Senate, I will hold at least ten town halls across the state to stay connected with the people I represent, including those who didn’t vote for me. Too many politicians go to D.C., settle into the Washington echo chamber, and lose sight of the real world. Whether we agree on every issue or not, as your senator I will always work for and answer to the people of Georgia.
Dooley is endorsed by Georgia Governor Brian Kemp, and his Georgia First campaign is continuing to build the momentum needed to earn the Republican nomination and defeat professional politician and far-left Democrat Jon Ossoff at the ballot box in November.
