Georgia Special Elections Scheduled

Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger has called for two special elections in state House District 94 and 130. Rep. Karen Bennett of House District 94 resigned after being found guilty of unemployment fraud. Rep. Lynn Heffner of House District 130 resigned citing constitutional residency requirements after her home in Georgia was destroyed during Hurricane Helene. Both special elections will occur on March 10 with a special runoff election on April 7, if necessary.
