DEREK DOOLEY ANNOUNCES BID FOR US SENATE, 'GEORGIA FIRST' CAMPAIGN

Former Tennessee Volunteers head coach Derek Dooley has announced that he’s running for the U.S. Senate in the state of Georgia. A native of Athens, Dooley is the son of former Georgia Bulldogs head coach Vince Dooley.

Dooley is set to run against incumbent Jon Ossoff after speculation grew about a potential run. He is also running on a campaign slogan of “Georgia First.”

“I’m running because our state needs leadership in Washington D.C., and professional politicians like Jon Ossoff are the problem,” Dooley said. “Leadership matters. Our state doesn’t have a voice in the U.S. Senate who reflects Georgia values because Ossoff is more concerned with protecting his own political future, opposing everything the Trump administration is working to accomplish, and repeatedly voting with the radical left. Unlike Ossoff, I’ll work with President Trump to implement his agenda, support his Administration, and move our country forward.”
