Republican Philip Singleton officially announced his candidacy for U.S. House of Representatives in Georgia’s 3rd Congressional District.

Singleton served 15 years in the U.S. Army, many of those years as a combat pilot. During that time, he went on three combat tours; two in Afghanistan, one in Iraq, and is the recipient of two Bronze Star Medals. 

In addition to his time in the Army, he earned a Master’s Degree in Aeronautical Science and a Master’s Degree in International Relations. 

Singleton is a native of Fayette County. While there, he met his wife Julie in a youth group at Grace Evangelical Church in Fayetteville.

They have been married for 14 years (15th year anniversary on April 21), and have four beautiful children.

Singleton said when the 9/11 attack happened, he answered the call by taking an oath to serve and protect the United States.

Now, he said he’s looking to continue that honor by being a U.S. Congressman.

Singleton said he is a firm believer in term limits, strengthening national security, holding elected officials accountable and keeping a transparent relationship between what is happening in D.C. and delivering it to constituents, along with smaller government and putting people’s needs before the party platform.
