May 12 (UPI) -- Georgia Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger said he and his gubernatorial campaign will not be deterred following a bomb scare that preceded an election event planned for the city of Macon on Tuesday.
"When you stand on principle, when you do the right thing and when you put people ahead of politics, not everyone will like it. In fact, some people may try to intimidate you or do you harm," the Republican said in a statement.
"So, yes, we are dealing with an active threat. And no, I will not back down."
Raffensperger kicked off his "Standing For Georgia" six-city, one-day campaign event Tuesday as he seeks the Republican Party's nomination to be its candidate in November's gubernatorial election. The Republican primary is scheduled for May 19.
