Cathy Cox's campaign manager, Morton Brillant, resigned Wednesday after being accused of mucking around with some online information on Mark Taylor. No word yet on his replacement.
State Representative Stacey Reece of Gainesville has said he will not seek re-election on Wednesday, saying that his decision not to seek a State Senate seat or run for re-election had nothing to do with a controversy over an engagement party for him and his financee' which was paid for by lobbyists. "There's been a lot of questions about that," Reece said in an interview with AccessNorthGa.com late Wednesday afternoon. "I think one little blip on the radar screen is not what you base changing a political career over. My supporters were very encouraging for me to continue but they also understood that I'm a family man first."
The AJC reported that State Reps. Johnny Floyd of Cordele and Richard Royal of Camilla formally switched their loyalties, as the week of qualifying for statewide candidates continued. That brings the number of Democratic House switchers this year to four. The Republican majority in the 180-member House now stands at 104.
Other qualifying news includes Willie Hinton and Steen Miles announcing their intention, as well as a number of candidates from the Thomasville area.
