A Statement from Nathan Deal
To my friends and supporters:
You will be reading media reports about the
release of a preliminary report from the
Office of Congressional Ethics.
This is a politically motivated witch hunt.
I have done nothing wrong and am not going
to let this tarnish my 30-year record of
public service.
Our campaign will not miss a beat and
we continue our quest to become the next
governor of Georgia.
Thank you for the confidence you have
expressed in me.
The statement released Monday by the
campaign:
This has always been a political
witch hunt fueled by Democrats who fear
that Roy Barnes will lose the governor's
race to Nathan Deal.
In its own report, the Office of
Congressional Ethics admits that its
efforts were incomplete and it does NOT
conclude that Mr. Deal did anything
wrong.
That's because Nathan Deal did nothing
wrong.
This is a business Nathan was involved
with before he went to Congress and was
approved by the House ethics committee
every year. There were never any tax
dollars involved and there was never a
contract with the state of Georgia.
This is an attempt by Nathan's political
opponents to drag his good name through
the mud. The complaint was brought by a
liberal, George Soros sponsored group,
fueled by the Democrat party of
Georgia.
The only shred of truth in this
political attack is that an innocent
accounting error was made and
subsequently corrected.
From Roll Call, a Capitol
newspaper:
Deal's attorney Randy Evans
dismissed the report Monday as
inaccurate and reiterated that Deal
had tied his retirement date to the
House vote on health care reform,
which occurred March 21.
"I think there were things that were
obviously incorrect in the
committee's report. We pointed that
out. I was disappointed that the
committee didn't take more time to
get it right," Evans said. He added:
"There were affidavits and other
information that were submitted that
made it clear that nothing in
appropriate or improper had
happened."
