Yeah, I saw that Handel is in (The Green Papers also is reporting it). The filing deadline is next week IIRC and, being a GA special election, there will be an all-party jungle primary (it’s scheduled for April 18) with a June run-off among the top two finishers in the almost certain event that no one gets 50%+1. I hope that the four Democrats currently in the race stay in so as to reduce the odds of two Democrats finishing one-two due to a split GOP vote among the many Republicans running.
Since the qualifying period lasts just 3 days, Feb 13, 14 & 15, no one is technically an official candidate until Monday.
Yeah, we wouldn’t want exactly 2 democrats running, the more the merrier.
WA State has a GOP Treasurer right now cause 3 democrats and 2 Republicans ran in the primary.
