Brian Laurens Claims False Endorsement

The organization Brian Laurens claims to have received endorsement from has denied backing him, or any candidate.

Brian Laurens, the candidate for the House District 21 special election who earlier this year was accused of trying to use political connections to get out of a traffic ticket, is in hot water again. The latest allegations against the political consultant show that Laurens has been mailing out campaign literature which claims he has been endorsed by Georgia Conservatives in Action (GCIA). However, GCIA denies endorsing Laurens, and, according to Georgia Pundit's Todd Rehm, have  a "history of not endorsing as an organization." Mike Hassinger of Peach Pundit got in touch with GCIA co-founder Pat Tippett, who said, "We did not endorse [Laurens]. He sent that out on his own." GCIA has asked Laurens to retract his claim.
