Yesterday I had the good fortune to attend a neighborhood meet and greet for Patti Hewitt, candidate for the U.S. House, 1st Congressional District of Georgia. It was a lovely get together hosted by David Blumenfeld and his wife, Paula Eubanks, at their beautiful home on St. Simons.<\/p>\n
Ms. Hewitt, a Democrat, is running against Earl \u201cBuddy\u201d Carter, the present incumbent. Candidly, I seldom go to such gatherings and was there in this case because the hosts are dear friends. To my surprise I came away with a good feeling about Ms. Hewitt and an appreciation for her candidacy. She presented herself cordially and informally with a gravitas that is most impressive. In short, she struck me as being worthy of my support. She is well-informed and hard working and, above all, a no-nonsense person whose election would benefit coastal Georgia.<\/p>\n
I will certainly cast my ballot for Ms. Hewitt. Mr. Carter, to the disbelief of many here, has waffled on the preservation of the Okefenokee while tacitly supporting the mining interests.
