Karen Handel announced today the formation of “Women for Karen”. Women make up the majority of voters on Election Day and are an integral part of Karen’s support.

The group will be co-chaired by highly recognized Republican women, Val Betz and Adrienne Susong.

Val Betz is the immediate past President of the Georgia Federation of Republican Women and former 5th District Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party.

Adrienne Susong is the former Director of Georgia Right to Life Political Action Committee, the former 1st Vice-Chairman of the Georgia Republican Party, and the former Chairman of the Rockdale County Republican Party.

The Women for Karen Leadership Team is made up of numerous female leaders from all across the state who have pledged their support to Karen and are working to spread the word of the positive, honest and conservative campaign that she is running and that Karen Handel is the best choice for Secretary of State.

Karen Handel, Chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners and candidate for Secretary of State, said today, “I’m honored and humbled to have such a strong group of women supporting my campaign. Some are elected officials, others are business leaders, but all are influential women in Georgia. I’m also very grateful to my good friends Val and Adrienne for taking this leadership role in my campaign.”
