Austin Scott to walk through Georgia

State Rep. Austin Scott, the Tifton Republican running for governor, plans to walk 1,000 miles through Georgia starting June 27 in Chickamauga.

From his Web site, it appears he'll stick near the borders of the state. From a campaign press release:

“I am bringing my campaign’s message of servant leadership and conservative reform to every corner of this State. This campaign is about Georgians, and that’s why it’s important for me to take my campaign on the road. While others are talking, I'll be walking with Georgians, listening and learning about their needs firsthand," Scott said.

“I am grateful for the opportunity to listen to Georgians in their hometowns. I want to hear what Georgians would do if they were governor for a day. This walk will give me an unmatched firsthand knowledge of our great State, and combined with 14 years of experience in the State House, I’m best prepared to govern from day one. I am going to win this race to serve Georgians,” Scott remarked.

Man. It's gonna be hot out there.
