Preston Smith says he is the legitimate Republican conservative candidate and is confident he will defeat Sam Olens in the Aug. 10 runoff for the GOP nomination for Georgia attorney general.

During a Rome News-Tribune Face-to-Face program, Smith said he likes the momentum of his campaign, which got a late start after the long General Assembly session. He said he was able to raise more money during the last 60 days of the second quarter reporting period and finished first or second in 130 of Georgia’s 159 counties.

The federal health care package, water, redistricting and illegal immigration are all issues Smith expects will be important for the next attorney general.

“What states rights are with respect to the federal government is going to be squarely in the place of the attorney general to deal with,” Smith said.
