Democratic congressional candidate Steven Lamar Foster, 61, has been convicted of driving under the influence in Dalton, Georgia

A Democratic candidate for Congress ranted that he hated the county he is now running to represent, as he was arrested for drunk driving in Georgia.

Steven Lamar Foster, 61, was arrested on September 23 of last year and held nothing back as cops cuffed him.

New police dash cam footage reveals how Foster insulted Whitfield County, where he's worked for over a decade. Six months later he launched a campaign to represent the district.

'Eleven years I served this county. I hate this county. I prayed to God that he would curse it. And guess what? He did,' he said in the arrest footage.

'Man, I saw it hit and cursed, and I saw people laid off right and left - white people. I hate this county ...' he added.

The video shows Foster counting in Spanish as officers ask him to walk in a straight line, talk of his time in South America, and demand blood samples be sent to the CIA.

'Go right ahead, I’ve had them pinched before by Colombian police. I've been in jail in six damn countries and the state of Mississippi,' he said to officers asking for blood samples to be taken.

Later on in the video he calls the cops 'Barneys' saying they wouldn't try to arrest Arabs or Hispanics.

'It’s all right, they can’t help it. They're not going to arrest no Hispanics. They are not going to arrest somebody that is a damn Arab. They are not going to do that...' he says as he's placed into his car in handcuffs.

In one part of the two hour arrest clip he says: 'I’ll never drink in Dalton, Georgia, again'.

Despite his shocking comments, he remains on the ballot.

'He would not have taken this to trial if he had thought he would be found guilty. I have no comment to make other than that. He's still in the race. He seems more determined than ever to continue,' Dan Lovingwood, the chair of the Democratic 14th Congressional District, said to The Daily Daily-Citizen News.

About six months after his arrest he announced he was running for Congress but he's been forced to take a break from the campaign trail after a jury found him guilty of driving under the influence of alcohol on Monday.

The former physician from Dalton is currently being held without bond as he awaits a sentencing hearing next week. He could face anywhere between 10 days to a year behind bars.

The night of his arrest Foster was pulled over by police for driving his silver Mercedes without headlights in Dalton, near the Georgia-Tennessee state line.

According to a police report, Foster immediately submitted to a breathalyzer test before officers even suggested the need for one.

'Steven made the statement that he had not been drunk since 1981 and I could give him a breath test if I wanted to,' the report says.

'I asked Steven why I would need to give him a breath test.'

Foster reportedly told the officer he had consumed two or three beers about three hours earlier.

His arrest video shows the 61-year-old swaying and stumbling during a field sobriety test.

Foster then agreed to a breath test, which showed his blood alcohol content was .103, well above the legal limit of .08.

Foster is running for a congressional seat in northwest Georgia's 14th district - which Whitfield County is a part of - challenging incumbent Republican Rep Tom Graves.

Even without a criminal conviction, Foster would be considered a long-shot for the congressional seat in the deep-red district that was easily carried by Donald Trump in 2016.

Graves has held the seat since 2010, running unopposed in the last two elections and handily beating a Democratic challenger with 73 percent of the vote in 2012.

Foster signed up to challenge Graves in March, nearly six months after his DUI arrest last fall.

Foster's campaign website bemoans voters' distrust of government - 'and they especially don't trust our congressmen'.

Foster described himself as a 'physician entrepreneur' on his qualifying paperwork for the congressional race.

Local media reports that he is a former military physician, family practitioner and surgeon. He also has owned Dalton urgent care center MedNow for nearly three decades.

State records indicate Foster's medical license expired at the end of 2003.

The Composite State Board of Medical Examiners suspended Foster's medical license indefinitely in October 2002, citing concerns that he was 'unable to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to patients due to a psychiatric disorder.'

Court documents indicate Foster does not have any prior DUI offenses, and in the state of Georgia drunk driving counts as a misdemeanor until the fourth offense.
