Area Senate, House Seats
Voters will choose a new state legislature and all the state’s top executives in Georgia’s 2022 mid-term elections on November 8. Georgia’s 14 U.S. congressional seats and one of two U.S. Senate seats are also up for election.
(See a roster of who is running and questions that are on the ballot inside today’s edition of The Advance).
Area ballots for the November 8 General Election will include two races of particular local interest. Vidalia attorney Blake Tillery is seeking reelection to his District 19 Senate post and businesswoman Leesa Hagan of Lyons is vying to win reelection to her District 156 seat. Both are Republicans.
Tillery is being challenged by Michael “Buckle” Moore, a Democrat, from Douglas, and Hagan is being challenged by Lethia Kittrell, a Democrat, of Fitzgerald. All four candidates were asked to complete a candidate questionnaire that follows this article. Moore did not respond.
No local offices are in contention in Wheeler County, however two unopposed county commission candidates will be listed on the Montgomery County ballot: Clarence Thomas, District 4, and Leland Adams, District 5. Two unopposed county commission candidates will be listed on the Toombs County ballot: Alfred Cason, District 1, and Tommy Rollins, District 4.
