Scott Downing announces candidacy for State House District 155

Last week, Scott Downing of Fitzgerald announced he will run in a special election to fill the State House District 155 seat being vacated by Rep. Jay Roberts (R-Ocilla), who has been nominated as planning director for the Georgia Department of Transportation.

“As someone who makes a living in a small business in agriculture, I feel that I know what this area needs in a State Representative. We need someone who can work to bring back jobs,” said Downing. “I have been involved in many different business ventures from commercial meat products to economic development. I love our area and I want a future here for our children so that they don’t have to leave in order to find gainful employment.”
