Today, Anna McManus announced her intention to seek election to the Georgia House of Representatives in District 24. Representative Tom Knox (R-24), the current incumbent in District 24, will be vacating the seat to run for State Insurance and Safety Fire Commissioner.

“My campaign is focused on eliminating unnecessary spending and creating jobs,” stated McManus. “Right now, Georgia is facing a budget crisis and our taxpayers should not be expected to carry the burden. Instead, we must closely examine our state’s spending and eliminate waste,” continued McManus.

According to the Georgia Department of Labor, Georgia is facing unemployment levels of 10.3 percent, higher than the national unemployment rate.

“As a successful small businesswoman, I understand the challenges small businesses are facing at the hands of Government,” said McManus. “It is time to take government out of the equation so that our businesses can get back to work.”

“Businesses should be given incentives to create jobs—not more mandates,” continued McManus.

As an active community member, Anna is involved with the Cumming-Forsyth County Chamber of Commerce and serves on various educational task forces.

As a strong conservative, Anna serves as the First Vice Chair of the 9th Congressional District Republican Party and has served on the executive committee of the Forsyth County Republican Party for more than 23 years. In 2004, Anna represented Forsyth County as a delegate to the Republican National Convention.

In addition, Anna is a member of the National Rifle Association and the Club for Growth.

Currently, Anna is an insurance agent practicing with Johnson & Bryan Liability Underwriters, Inc. where she serves as the general manager.

Anna and her husband, Tom, have lived in South Forsyth County for more than 23 years where they raised their two children, Brian and Katie.

I know Anna very well. She will lie thru her teeth. She has backed every sneeky elected official that has ruined this county. Anna stabbed a very good friend of hers in the back. This person has almost recovered from her lies and back stabbing. She backed John Kieffer who stole millions with his friends. Gary Smith who stole thousands of tax payers dollars and also missing "goods" from the county. She backed Ted Paxton-how many new cars for the Sheriff? Missing drug seizure money?.... Former Magistrate judge Barbara Cole and Hope Moore who stole thousands and H.Moore is doing 5 years for stealing inmate money....The list goes on.

Tom Knox will be missed,thats for sure. By the looks of it we need honest people to step up to the plate. Cause Anna has all the "TITLES" means nothing.

Go get em Anna, you go girl....

Wow...a non-endorsement from Terry Sweeny. That should just about guarantee Anna the election.

John Dees or whatever your name is.... I know what people like you and Anna can do to our country. Acting like Republicans and really Being one are two different things. DID YOU READ MY POST OR NOT??? Ask Anna if my post is correct. Have her respond here. Lots of people read this stuff. Its important to know the truth. After all Anna posted on www.aboutforsyth.com for years.

Anna was involved in the birth of the Forsyth County Republican Party many years ago. She was Republican in Forsyth County when it wasn't cool.

Terry Sweeney is a bitter man. Ran for office and came in last place (fourth). Everyone has learned to ignore Terry Sweeney around here... except those with restraining orders against him. I wish he would stop listening to the voices in his head. You can write a book/psychology thesis about Terry Sweeney but I will not say another word so that the comments on here do not turn into a "Terry versus the world" blog.

Back to Anna - she is a great candidate for this position. She will do a great job limiting government in our lives; reducing wasteful spending.

You go girl!

JP, or what ever your name is. You are probably one of the ones thinking "nothing wrong with this country". Its clear the issues I have with A Mcmannus are honesty and her affliation with the criminal mentallity plauging this county. Go back and read what I wrote or R you one of the ones who are blind? I would say Blind. I've complained about what happened to this country and county for over 15 years. And boom it happened. I had meetings in 2005 with Keller Williams and Re Max agents about where we were going with the housing market. I looked ahead years and no one listened. Got vote for Anna,she will do us good. Yea Right. Ts.

Terry, You accuse Anna of "her affliation with the criminal mentallity plauging this county"

Anna has not been supportive of anyone that has been convicted and imprisoned. You have. Someone who went to prison for extortion. Someone who accepted thousands of dollars in cash with the promise of contracts, kickbacks and other special treatment if elected. Someone that said they would allow "hit squads" to invade and rob the homes of known drug dealers. Is this what this is about Terry - were you to be on one of Gary Beebe's hit squads? Were you going to be getting kickbacks?

To quote your great criminal friend "Lady Justice is blind. I'm not blind"

The irony.

You are blind, Do me a favor and ask ol great one Anna one questiion. Where does the money from the fines and fees regarding traffic offenses go? If you or ol great one Anna cannot answer this simple question then what is the purpose to elect a doo doo bird? Ts.

We had the chance to elect a "doo doo bird" in this county and you got your tail whooped.

Why do you insist on calling people blind yet you were supporting a now convicted felon?

Do you ever stop to think how ridiculous you sound?

"I've complained about what happened to this country and county for over 15 years. And boom it happened. I had meetings in 2005 with Keller Williams and Re Max agents about where we were going with the housing market. I looked ahead years and no one listened." Did you apply that crystal ball to the Gary Beebe experience?

Do you ever wonder why no one listens Terry?

Do you ever stop to think how ridiculous you sound?

Terry is probably correct but problem is "can't do nothin bout it." Terry tell us more bout "She backed John Kieffer who stole millions with his friends. Gary Smith who stole thousands of tax payer..." I want facts!!

think again

Terry keeps throwing out allegations about people that are unproven BUT he was the one that backed the most corrupt political candidate this county/district has ever seen in recent years. this was proven by video evidence; proven in a court of law; the guy admitted guilt

Blind! Blind! Blind!
