Impressive sum for this stage (the fundraising). The district includes the Panhandle of Sandy Springs (along the Fulton-DeKalb border), the Roswell Road corridor between the river and Darymple Road (North Springs area) and a lot of Roswell (small part of Johns Creek) along the Chattahoochee and east of 400—Horseshoe Bend area.
See if this is a correct list (or at least mostly so!) of other State House openings next year (no incumbent):
HD 26 (Forsyth County)—-Geoff Duncan [R]—running for Lt. Governor
HD 42 (Marietta/Smyrna)—Stacey Evans [D]—running for Governor
HD 50 (Johns Creek)—Brad Raffensperger [R]—running for Sec of State
HD 89 (southwest DeKalb)—Stacey Abrams [D]—running for Governor
HD 102 (Gwinnett)—–Buzz Brockway [R]—running for Sec of State
HD 117 (Athens area)—Regina Quick [R]—judicial appointment maybe next year?
HD 133 (Columbus area)—Jon Pezold [R]
Also, will any legislators run for commissioner of insurance with Ralph Hudgens leaving next year?
