AL District 5 Congressional Candidate Taze Shepard announced the addition of Tory Green to the Shepard for Congress campaign staff.

Green has an extensive list of honors and accomplishments.   After achieving the rank of Eagle Scout, he was selected to present the State of Scouting address to President Obama and Congress.  He met the President in the Oval Office of the White House and addressed a joint session of Congress.

Green has also met with Governor Bob Riley and Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle, who declared “Tory Green Day” in the City of Huntsville.  Green also delivers sermons at local churches including his home church, Bethany Primitive Baptist in New Market.

Congressional Candidate Taze Shepard said “I am delighted that Tory has joined our campaign staff.  He will help us deliver the message that Congress should serve the public interest, not the special interests in Washington.”

“I am joining this campaign because I believe in Mr. Shepard.  He is the only candidate who can defeat the Republicans in the fall, and he will be an excellent congressman for District 5″, says Green.

Green joins the staff led by Howell Lee, campaign manager for Shepard for Congress.  Lee served as District Director for former Congressman Bud Cramer and as Finance Director for Friends of Cramer.

While at Lee High School, Green was recognized as Outstanding Student of the Year and received the “Senator John Sparkman Award” for outstanding achievement in student government.  ”I know my grandfather, Senator Sparkman, would be proud of this young man who has achieved so much since winning this award,” Shepard said.
