Businessman Kurt Wilson Enters Race to Represent Dunwoody, District 6

DUNWOODY, GA -- Kurt Wilson of Roswell has announced that he is seeking to represent Georgia's 6th Congressional District seat.

Wilson is an entrepreneur with various business interests, including serving as president of the NA Foodservice, a Zaxby’s licensee. He owns a cigar shop and partners a real estate firm.

“Whether you were for or against President Trump, whether you are a Democrat, a Republican, a Libertarian or an Independent, it is important to recognize and celebrate that President Trump’s campaign proved the out-of-control political machine in Washington, D.C. is, in fact, vulnerable," he said in a news release Tuesday. "There is hope. There is real opportunity to break into a system that has outgrown its purpose and build a modern, representative government."

Georgia's 6th Congressional District includes East Cobb, north Fulton and a swath of DeKalb County that includes Dunwoody.

Wilson would replace U.S. Rep. Tom Price who is Health and Human Services Secretary-designate, pending Senate confirmation.
