The Republican effort to win the newly remapped fourth congressional district has begun with a bid from Henry County church pastor Chris Vaughn.

Vaughn, 45, has been the senior pastor of The Landing church since 2008 and has lived in Rockdale County in the Meadowbrook subdivision since 2002. This will be his first time running for elected office.

“I want my children to have a better life than me,” Vaughn said, after attending the annual Rockdale NAACP and Chamber of Commerce MLK Breakfast. “I want to leave an inheritance and I don’t think that’s where we’re going right now. Not nationally, not in our districts.”

Although he has no prior experience in public office or government, he said his background as a senior pastor gives him relevant experience.

“I’m constantly dealing with people who want to do it the old way versus the new way,” he said. “It’s always trying to bring some level of agreement to the table.”
