ATLANTA—AARP Georgia State Director Debra Tyler-Horton released the following statement today in response to Majority Forward’s citation of AARP and use of AARP’s logo in a political ad targeting U.S. Sen. David Perdue of Georgia. Said Tyler-Horton:

AARP is providing information and resources about COVID-19 to help older Georgians and their families protect themselves from the virus and prevent it from spreading to others.
