January 5, 2026

ROME, Ga. — In the race to become Northwest Georgia’s next congressman, endorsements are rolling in for blue-collar businessman Brian Stover. On Monday, Frank Moran, the Mayor of Hiram, Georgia, and Ashley Henson, the Paulding County Sheriff, endorsed the pro-Trump conservative. 

In his endorsement of Stover, Mayor Moran notes that the Paulding County native’s work as county commissioner and as a blue-collar businessman are some of the reasons why Stover is the best person to represent the Fourteenth District in Washington. 

“Brian Stover is the most experienced, strong candidate for United States Congress to represent District 14, which includes Paulding County,” Mayor Moran said in his endorsement. “When Brian was on the Paulding County Commission, he always worked well with the local governments and had the best interests of the citizens in mind. As a former elected official and a very successful businessman, Brian is the hands-down choice to represent District 14 in Washington, D.C.” 

Meanwhile, Sheriff Henson highlights Stover’s work to support law enforcement and his work ethic as reasons the pro-Trump conservative will deliver real results for folks across Northwest Georgia. 

“I am proud to support and endorse my long-time friend Brian Stover in his bid for the United States Congress for several reasons,” Sheriff Henson said in a statement announcing his endorsement:” 1. Brian has always been a friend to public safety in Paulding County. 2. His support when he was our county commissioner was vital to our success. We need someone in Washington DC representing the 14th that knows what hard work looks like. 3. Brian is a hard-working American and will do whatever it takes to bring prosperity back to the 14th Congressional District. Brian will take his work ethic, grit, and determination to DC to get things done for our district.  It is my honor to support Brian Stover for Congress.”

In response to Mayor Moran and Sheriff Henson’s endorsement, Stover released the following statement. 

“I want to thank Mayor Frank Moran and Sheriff Ashley Henson for their years of friendship and support as I run for Congress. As I look around and see folks in our communities struggling to afford gas, groceries, and utilities, it’s clear that our district needs a leader who will work around the clock to support President Trump and bring real results back to the district. I started my company at 19 with one truck, and now, I employ over 100 employees. With God and grit on my side, I will work with President Trump to keep our communities safe and lower costs for families across the district.”
