Salleigh Grubbs for Cobb County Republican Party Chair

---

Cobb Conservatism -  We believe in the core principles of the Republican Party; the principles should be based upon the precepts laid down by the founders of the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights and limitations on the powers of government.  Individual freedoms and rights, equality under the law and separation of powers among the executive, legislative and judicial branches are paramount. Republicans believe that good government is based upon the individual and that each person’s ability, dignity, freedom and responsibility must be honored and recognized. We must proclaim those principles in all our engagements. We must build our party around these principles.  Our community needs to know not only who we stand with, but what we stand for – in all arenas. 

Cobb Patriotism - In a day and time that Patriotism is called into question – we must stand up. We must not be afraid to honor our heritage of equal rights, equal justice, equal opportunity, and fiscal responsibility. We must stand with each other in honoring our Veterans and Law Enforcement! We must always remember and celebrate what made America, Georgia, and Cobb County, the greatest place on earth, where we are the envy of the world because of the Freedoms we enjoy! 

Getting to Know Salleigh Grubbs!

Salleigh, a 55 year old successful business leader and mother of two grown sons, was born in Atlanta’s Crawford Long Hospital.  As the youngest child of J. Milton Grubbs, Jr., a renowned trial attorney, and her mother, Crystobel, who was a model, inventor and entrepreneur, Salleigh grew up in Marietta, Georgia, and graduated from Marietta High School – a true Cobb native who still resides in Marietta. 

Having grown up in and around her father’s law office, Salleigh developed an interest in law, completed her paralegal training, and worked in the legal field for years.  While furthering her education at Southern Poly and Georgia State, she found a calling in the manufacturing industry.  It was during this time that Salleigh saw first-hand the ill effects of NAFTA and the disastrous repercussions of manufacturing leaving the USA.  Salleigh saw how trade and energy policies, manufacturing, taxes, land use, and regulations negatively affect the day-to-day lives of American citizens– and how bad policies have led to the need for America-first positive changes.

Salleigh later became a State of Georgia Licensed Realtor. While selling hundreds of acres of land, along with industrial, commercial and residential real estate and setting record highs in sales in Cobb, Gilmer, Pickens and Fannin Counties, she learned the value of owning and managing her own business.  Salleigh continued to consult in the manufacturing industry all the while working as a real estate agent and, just prior to the Great Recession, became the full-time General Manager of a local manufacturing company.  During her leadership, she used her kitchen-table economic skills she learned first-hand from being a single mother of two sons, coupled with finance training from Georgia State, to not only sustain the business, but grow the bottom line by 400% during the recession.  While other businesses failed, she met the challenge of keeping people employed and making payroll each and every week without layoffs.  2013 brought the opportunity of another business venture and Salleigh’s demonstrated leadership skills in business growth, organization, increasing profitability and choosing the right people propelled her into more business success.

At the present time, Salleigh is the GM with day-to-day operating responsibilities of another successful manufacturing-related business in metro Atlanta that provides equipment and services across Georgia and the United States.  She is the past president of the Chemical Coaters Association of Georgia and present Treasurer, along with a former Voice of Democracy Judge for the Veterans of Foreign Wars and a former member of the Marietta Middle School SGT. Other current activities include volunteering with the elderly and foster dog program, community chorale, church and civic involvement.  Through all of this, Salleigh has loved Cobb County, the state of Georgia and her country and has begun working every day to restore Republican principles, defend freedom and fight for election integrity in her county and state.
