ALBANY,GA --
State House Representative Ed Rynders has been named to attend the national GOP convention as a delegate.

Rynders is one of three delegates from the second congressional district to attend the convention.

He has also been an alternate delegate to the 2004 GOP convention in New York City and the one in Minneapolis in 2008.

“We're going to do everything we can to get the message to turn this country around, create jobs, protect families and increase educational opportunities,” says Rynders.

The convention will be held in Tampa, Florida August 27 through the 30th.
