Harris, who lives in Fannin County, was named interim executive director of the state party a month ago replacing Toby Carr, who left to join Gov.-elect Nathan Deal's transition team.
Harris, who also served as chairman of the Fannin County Republican Party at one time, worked as political director for the Deal's gubernatorial campaign. He has been involved with the Georgia Republican Party for about 20 years.
"Working with the state GOP will be a great couple of years. It's fun to meet people across the state of Georgia and develop relationships with them," Harris said. "It's all about the community. You have to make a difference where you live. That is how you make a difference in the nation," said Harris.
As far as the Georgia Republican Party and the future of the country, Harris aims to focus on the communities and try to get competent people with integrity to represent them.
Harris has been associated with Truett-McConnell College in Cleveland since 1993, where started as a political science professor. In 2000 he opted to become an adjunct professor and went into economic politics full time.
