HCGOP Shares Loss of Long Time Supporter and Friend

It is with great sadness that we share the passing of former 14th District Chairman, Ed Painter of Whitfield County.  Ed served as the District Chairman from 2017-2019, and earlier as District Secretary.   He was the current Second Vice Chairman.  Ed also represented Whitfield County serving on the Georgia Republican Party State Committee.

Ed was an encourager and mentor to those advocating for principled GOP leadership.  He was an avid supporter of our Haralson County Republican Party and he will be greatly missed by all who knew him.
