Already, one Republican has announced for the primary. D117 will include four counties named above. Just to give you a few stats I just pulled from Votebuilder: 30,144 registered voters 2,144 Strong Dems 1,780 Strong Repubs 17,733 - Clarke 59% 2,433 - Barrow 8% 3,279 - Jackson 11% 6,695 - Oconee 22% Can each of you assign a small committee to find the candidate possibilities in your own county? Look at currently and formerly elected officials, retired teachers, business people, well-known community activists. Make a list of your top five in priority order. Then each, one at a time, with a prepared list of reasons they are needed by the district. When they say no, then wait...
