Steve Tarvin Announces North Georgians for the Fair Tax

Press Release

Today, Steve Tarvin, a candidate for Georgia's 9th Congressional district to replace longtime Republican Nathan Deal, commended retiring Congressman John Linder, of Georgia's 7th Congressional District. Linder announced at the end of last week that he would not be running for re-election. Tarvin also announced a new coalition called North Georgians for the Fair Tax.

"I have been a business owner and employer in north Georgia for the last thirty years, and as such, I know firsthand the value of the work Congressman Linder did on the fair tax. It is incredibly difficult to operate a business in compliance with over 10,000 pages of tax code, and I know I speak for small businesses all over north Georgia when I thank Congressman Linder for his leadership on this important issue," said Tarvin. "I commit to the people of the 9th District that as their next Congressman, I will continue to carry the torch of tax reform that Congressman Linder has so valiantly carried for almost two decades."

Roy Bowen, President of the Georgia Traditional Manufacturer's Association, said "I have every confidence that Steve Tarvin's business background, record of community and civic service, integrity and understanding of the needs of Georgia's and America's manufacturers and its people, ideally suit him for this important position of responsibility."

Steve Tarvin was born, raised and currently resides in Chickamauga, Georgia. He attended Gordon Lee High School, and later began working at Crystal Springs Print Works, a textile mill in Chickamauga, on January 13th, 1970. Steve worked his way up through the company, and now serves as the President and CEO of the 750,000 square foot mill that specializes in the commission bleaching, dying, printing, and finishing of textiles. Steve is particularly passionate about their work on Defender M™ protective military apparel. Crystal Springs has employed hundreds of people from north Georgia for over 25 years.
