FORTYTH COUNTY, Ga. — Gary Black is the face of the agriculture industry in Georgia.

He spent 40 years in the farm business as a cattleman, 21 years as president of the Georgia Agribusiness Council and three terms as the state’s Commissioner of Agriculture. But he wants to do more for Georgians. That is why he is running for U.S. Senate in 2022.

He will be the featured speaker at the next meeting of the Forsyth County Tea Party on Monday, Nov. 29 at the VFW Hall in Cumming, starting at 6:30 p.m.

Black endorsed then candidate Donald Trump in 2016 and was appointed by President Trump to serve on his agriculture policy supervisory council.

Under his leadership, Georgia Department of Agriculture divisions for information technology, animal health, homeland security, and food safety have garnered national acclaim.
