Athens - Rep. Austin Scott enjoyed an excellent performance in the first debate between GOP candidates for governor, held last night on the campus of the University of Georgia in Athens.
"I'm going to take the politics out of deciding what's good for our children and the education system," Scott said, when asked about how to improve education in Georgia.
The event, which was hosted by the Athens-Clarke County Republican Party and the University of Georgia College Republicans and broadcast live by major news networks around the state, was a resounding success for Rep. Scott.
"I understand the issues being faced by this state," he said. "To create jobs, I will eliminate the corporate income tax in Georgia. Think about the message that sends to the nation and the world: Georgia is ready for business."
Throughout the debate, Rep. Scott's focus was on three key issues: the economy, education, and ethics. These three areas have formed the basis for his platform for governor of Georgia.
He was mentioned by name by the panelists and moderator more times than any other candidate.
"I feel very confident about my campaign going forward," said Scott.
Rep. Austin Scott is a 14-year member of the Georgia House of Representatives and a candidate for governor of Georgia. For more information, visit ScottForGA.com or WalkingWithAustin.com.

Mr. Scott did very well at the debate. He brought up about Nathan Deal's wanting to know about Obama's citizenship. A wise move at this early stage.
Mr. Scott seems to have a good head on his shoulders for what is important to the State.
If elected I hope he continues to think and act for the best interest of the citizens of the State of Georgia. Now if we only had the same here in Henry County, but alas we have what we have, hopefully that will change soon.
