Summary
Georgia’s 13th District special election heats up as Marcye Scott and Everton Blair battle it out in an August 25 runoff to fill her late father’s seat—just until January. Scott, with 47%, and Blair, at 36%, both fell short of 50%, forcing a second round. Scott vows to finish her dad’s legacy, citing decades of public service and pending federal funding. Blair brings education policy chops from his school board days. While the runoff winner will briefly boost Democratic numbers in a razor-thin House, the real fight for the full term is still ahead in November. This is a two-part race: fill the gap now, win the future later. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
