If you've been attending our popular "State of Community" Lunch Series that launched in 2016, you won't want to miss our next installment on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, when Congressman Drew Ferguson gives us an update on national issues that affect our state and community! This lunch will be held from 11:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Newnan Country Club, 1356 Highway 29 North in Newnan.

Congressman Ferguson is a resident of West Point whose family roots in the West Georgia area are several generations deep. He attended the University of Georgia and gained early acceptance to the Medical College of Georgia. After graduating with a degree in dental medicine, he moved back to his hometown and established a successful family dental practice.

In 2008, Congressman Ferguson was elected mayor of West Point and was at the forefront of attracting and keeping jobs in his community. By lowering taxes, eliminating government barriers and reforming education, he led a community in economic ruin back to life. Today, a wide range of new businesses and industries call West Point and the surrounding area home. Led by KIA Motors, automotive suppliers and related businesses, the West Point business community has seen 16,000 new jobs created so far. Congressman Ferguson came to Washington to apply the lessons he learned revitalizing West Point to creating policies that once again make America the most competitive place to do business.
