Voters in Ron Sailor Jr.’s district get fresh start May 13
March 27, 2008 at 3:45 pm by Thomas Wheatley in NewsGov. Sonny Perdue says voters in the state’s 93rd District get to vote someone new into office on May 13. If a run-off is necessary, it will take place four weeks later on June 10.
Here’s what sucks, via a press release from the governor’s office:
State law also requires the 93rd House District seat to be up for election as part of the regular 2008 election cycle. Anyone wanting to run in the regular election cycle must separately qualify for the General Primary, which will be held July 15th. The qualifying period to participate in the General Primary is set for April 28th through May 2nd. The General Election will be held on November 4th.
So you win the special election, get business cards printed up, and then you gotta run for office again? How’s a guy supposed to live up to his predecessor’s legacy in that short window of time? Not fair, guys.
