Sen. Kelly Loeffler
FORSYTH COUNTY, Ga. – Senator Kelly Loeffler’s “All About Georgia” statewide bus tour will roll into Forsyth County Thursday (Sept. 3).
Loeffler is scheduled to arrive at Sawnee Mountain Park Community Building at 3 p.m. It will be the second of three stops that day following an appearance in Gilmer County. At 5 p.m., she will be at Smoke House BBQ in Hall County.
Senator Johnny Isakson resigned his senate seat due to deteriorating health last December and Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Loeffler to fill the position until a special election could be held Nov. 3.
Loeffler will face stiff opposition in the special election which currently has 21 candidates. All candidates, regardless of party, will be placed on the same ballot. Party labels will be printed on the ballot and if no candidate receives more than 50 percent of the vote, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff election to be held on Jan. 5.
Loeffler, Republican 9th District U.S. Congressman Doug Collins, and Democrats Raphael Warnock and Matt Lieberman are considered the front runners at this point.
