- Description:
- Video recording of a meeting of aspiring Cobb County political candidates campaigning for a state house seat for Georgia's 34th district in a special election (the seat was vacated by Jack Vaughan). The meeting, which took place at some point in 1994, was held at the Avery Gallery in Marietta, Georgia. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution of May 5, 1994 identifies these contenders as former Marietta mayoral candidate Connie Mack Berry Jr., physician Ken G. Knott, clothing store owner Frank Leiter, insurance underwriter Charles J. Lollar, and attorneys Morgan Robertson, John J. Wiles and Jim Vogel on the Republican side. Marietta attorney William R. Waldrop and Cobb school administrator Laura Lester are the Democratic candidates. Although the video is truncated at the beginning, we see that the candidates are given time to speak (in front of a banner that reads "Social Responsibility") for introductions, then the meeting transitions to a panel where the candidates sit on a dais and a moderator (an unidentified woman) fields questions from the audience. A question is directed to the panel at approximately 60 minutes and 1 second into the recording by the moderator: "Since Reverend Nelson Price [the pastor of Marietta's Roswell Street Baptist Church and first elected vice president of the Southern Baptist Convention in 1991] has proposed that a state law will be proposed like the cloud resolution on family values [referring to the Cobb County Board of Commission's 1993 passage of an anti-LGBTQ+/anti-gay resolution to preserve "family oriented standards"], what would you do if such a law is proposed--would you vote for it or would you vote against it?" The candidates respond to the question. The only candidates in support of furthering legislation based on the Cobb County family values resolution are Charles Lollar and Connie Mack Berry. The discussion about this topic ends at 68 minutes and 24 seconds. There are several more discussions about "family values," education, taxes, welfare, and crime that continue throughout the rest of the meeting.
