Vernon Jones to Announce His Bid for the Fourth Congressional District Seat
DECATUR, January 14, 2010 – Vernon Jones, former Chief Executive Officer of DeKalb County, Georgia, will hold a press conference tomorrow, Friday, January 15, 2010 at 2:00 p.m. E.S.T. The press conference will be held at 4153 Flat Shoals Parkway, Building C, Decatur, GA 30034 in the 2nd floor conference room. All media is invited.
(twiddles fingers, laughs with glee) Sounds like those shadowy dignitaries made a convincing argument. The former DeKalb County CEO and U.S. Senate candidate’s possible opponents in the race to unseat Democratic Congressman Hank Johnson include DeKalb Commissioners (and Jones’ former colleagues) Lee May and Connie Stokes.
Johnson, who late last year announced he was battling Hepatitis C, will announce his plans to run for a third term on Saturday.
