ELECTIONS EXPECTED TO GRAB HEADLINES IN 2020

Politics are sure to grab the headlines, nationally as well as locally, in 2020.  Not only is the post of US President up for a vote this year, local voters will determine who will serve as the next Sheriff of Floyd County to succeed Tim Burkhalter, who will not seek re-election.  Three Republican candidates who have announced plans to run for that office – Tom Caldwell, Dave Roberson and Ronnie Kilgo – were all on hand Tuesday for the monthly meeting of the Floyd County Republican Women.

Another race for locals to watch in 2020 – the 14th Congressional District. US Representative Tom Graves will not seek re-election this year.

A listing of important dates for this election year is available on the Georgia Secretary of State’s website at www.sos.ga.gov.
