We told you earlier this week of the special election for the state House District 80 – and why Democrats have a rare chance to take control of a GOP seat.
We neglected to throw in an extra reason why Republicans are taking the challenge seriously. Should Democrat Taylor Bennett, a former Georgia Tech quarterback, beat former Brookhaven mayor Max Davis, the Republican, then control of the Fulton County House delegation would revert to Democrats. Republicans currrently have a 13-12 edge.
Though mostly in DeKalb County, House District 80 was drawn into Fulton County after the last census – one of several such moves to give Republicans control of local legislation.
