A Hall County man is one of three delegates from the 9th Congressional District who’ll be attending the Republican National Convention (RNC) this week in Milwaukee.
The convention begins Monday, with Saturday’s attempted assassination of the GOP’s presumptive nominee for President, Donald Trump, hanging over it.
Cooper Whitmire of Hall County (pictured ), Julianne Thompson of Gwinnett, and Carl Blackburn of Habersham County are the three delegates from the district, according to the state party. There are also three alternates: Jeff Hughes of Jackson County, Todd Tibbets of Towns, and Evelyn Doss of Fannin County.
In all, Georgia is sending 59 delegates and 56 alternates.
