The U.S. Senate nominee visits Wadley

Georgia Agriculture Commissioner Gary Black visited the Battle Lumber Company on Friday, April 22, to visit the facility, discuss the biggest challenges facing the family industry in that part of the state, and campaign for Black in the U.S. Senate.

“We call it the closing discussion tour,” Black says. “We’re competing, and as far as I understand, I’m in court for another 29 days. And the jury, these voters, will go to the jury box on May 24 and vote. about this kind of mass identity. ”

Black says his goal is to solve problems, and by visiting businesses like Battle, he learns about the challenges facing Georgian workers.

“Right now, the first and five problem is the worker,” Black said. "I think it's okay to help some people during the Covid era, but I think it's too much and too much for people to pay to stay home. Now it's hurting the work team in many areas."

He said he was aware of work problems where he stopped during the campaign.

“One thing we need is leaders, U.S. senators, members of Congress, members of the school board, whatever it is, we all have a role to play in strengthening the fabric of society,” Black said. “It means an uplifting work ethic. It all starts with the family, and one of the ways to strengthen the family is to have a good job. ”

He added that he supports the importance of technical education and sees a great need for jobs such as truck drivers across the state.

“You’re lucky that Battle Lumber is the business of generations in this community,” Black said. “If you go to work there, you have to work hard, there’s no doubt about that, but you have a future. I'm amazed that there is so much innovation, so much technology and so much commitment to your community. "

Black said he believed the mining industry in that part of the state was "farther away," believing it was "excessive government."

“We want to be safe. We want to protect the environment, but we want to do it in a way that doesn't offend the government, "Blake said.
