← Shawn Hanley on the Radio with Frank Barnas Atlanta, GA/March 8, 2011 - The Republicans at Morehouse College honored Shawn Hanley, Chairman of the Fulton County Republican Party and candidate for Georgia GOP Chair, for his commitment and dedication to outreach to the minority community. As Fulton County Chairman, Hanley has made minority outreach one of the cornerstones of his chairmanship. In running for Georgia GOP Chair, he has made minority outreach one of the major issues in his 6 in 60 campaign plan. Hanley believes as is demonstrated by the growth of such groups as the Republicans at Morehouse College, that the Republican Party can reach out and attract minority voters that it has for too long ignored. Hanley recognizes that minority voters long ignored by the Republican Party are critical to its continued success and share many of the fiscal and social values of the Republican Party. In honoring Shawn, Edward Anderson, President of the Republicans at Morehouse College announced his support for Hanley for GA GOP Chair. In honoring Shawn, Edward Anderson, President of the Republicans at Morehouse College announced his support for Hanley for GA GOP Chair. "As a former US Marine I learned that race never came between people who wanted to honor, serve and fight for America," said Shawn Hanley. "In our Republican party, with shared conservative values, we also need to fight together to ensure that the fight to take America back from an out-of-control President also is a fight where race has no place. Obama is in the process of destroying our country and the future of our children and I'm honored to fight Obama with all I got and I'm proud to have the men at Morehouse by my side." Part of Hanley's plan calls for the establishment of a Republican organization on each of Georgia's Historical Black Colleges and Universities and facilitating the connection between the campuses and the area's county and district parties. Hanley believes as do many Republican leaders that in order for the Republican Party to grow and continue to be the majority Party in Georgia it has to attract minority voters and needs to emphasize our shared values. Hanley assisted in spearheading with Morehouse College students the establishment of the Republicans at Morehouse College. "Three years ago Shawn came to our campus and began an incredible relationship between our membership and Georgia Republicans," said, Shermichael Singleton, Founder of Republicans of Morehouse College. "Shawn raised money to help get our group started, introduced us to dozens of key republicans and mentored us as we launched our new Republican group…he was there from the beginning and he's still there for us" Additional information on Shawn Hanley may be obtained at www.shawnforchairman.com.

In addition to Chip, there are two other names that are being floated around as considering making a run for the top Republican position in Georgia: BJ Van Gundy, current 2nd Vice Chairman of the State Party, and Shawn Hanley, former Fulton County Republican Party chairman and contender for state chairman in 2011. Shawn Hanley 2 September 18, 2012 at 10:11 am The best part about this whole discussion with Mr. Van Gundy and Mr. Hanley is that they are already attacking their likely opponent (albeit indirectly) under the guise that a candidate for Chair shouldn't be distracted from helping Romney. Not too early for Van Gundy to post a campaign page on facebook or for Hanley to make phone calls, as I have heard he's doing.

for State GOP Chair is using sneaky tricks in the use of the Fulton County GOP Phone System to make calls on behalf of Hanley for State Chair. Read more Shawn Hanley Shawn Hanley, Fulton County GOP Chairman, is also running for GA GOP Chair. You can read more on this topic in the Beacon. If enough GA Republicans tell the Governor how they feel about this, he may have second thoughts. Personally, I do not think that the Governor realizes the bucket of worms he has opened.
