"I'm thrilled to be in this position. I think it shows our message

is connecting with voters."

That was Dylan Glenn's assessment of Tuesday night's election

that left Glenn and Westmoreland headed for a runoff Aug. 10 to see who would

be the Republican nominee as the next Congressman from the Eighth District.

When all the votes had been tallied Sharpsburg's Lynn Westmoreland

led the four-person field with 42,815 votes to Glenn's 35,098.

"I was very pleased with how we did in Peachtree City. I guess I owe

my mom for that," said Glenn. His mom resides in the golf cart city.

With less than three weeks to go before the runoff, both sides are looking

to make sure their voters return to the polls during the dog days of summer.

On Wednesday, Westmoreland received the endorsement of a sitting Georgia

congressman, Charlie Norwood.

"I'm pleased to lend my strong support to Lynn Westmoreland in

Georgia's 8th Congressional District Republican Primary," stated

Norwood.

"Lynn has shown time and again, he has the conservative credentials,

experience, and know-how to get things. The good folks of the 8th District

deserve a strong voice in Washington to represent them and carry Georgia's

commonsense and conservative values to Capitol Hill � Lynn Westmoreland will

do just that. Lynn Westmoreland is a proven leader and will hit the ground

running in Congress. Again, I'm proud to offer Lynn my strong support

in his campaign for Congress."

Wednesday's endorsement was Westmoreland's latest in a string

of endorsements by Georgia's politicians.

He has received the support of U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss, five of the seven

state Senators from the 8th District and all 13 state representatives from

the 8th District.

But Glenn feels his campaign is on the right road for victory in August.

"A lot of people thought Lynn would wind this hands down with all his

endorsements. But we just plan to keep putting out our positive message which

garnered us 35,000 votes Tuesday," he said.
