9th District pharmacists show support for Congressman Collins
About two dozen local pharmacists attended a Monday evening reception in Gainesville honoring Congressman Doug Collins, a pharmacy champion who faces a challenger in Georgia’s May 24 primary election. The event was hosted by Congressman Buddy Carter, who urged the assembled pharmacists to display Collins signs in their pharmacies and to encourage friends and neighbors to vote for Collins. “Our profession needs more men like Doug Collins in Congress,” said Congressman Carter.
Congressman Collins thanked GPhA, NCPA and the assembled pharmacists for their strong support. He noted that the key to his race will be voter turnout on May 24. “You going to the polls May 24 will make a difference in whether I can win outright or have to go to a primary run-off,” Collins said.
GPhA and the Georgia Society of Health System Pharmacists were also honorary hosts for the event.
