Augusta GA – It’s been a month since District 127 Representative Quincy Murphy died. A special election to fill his unexpired seat will be held in November. Qualifying for the seat begins on Monday, but three people have now come forward to announce plans to fill the vacancy.
For eleven years, Quincy Murphy represented the people of District 127 with passion, determination and strong will. Now, the people of district 127 are tasked with finding someone who can carry on those attributes.
So far, two people have thrown their hats in the race with the most recent being Brian Prince who announced on the Judicial building steps. “I will try to build economic development as well as to help the citizens realize that the crime rate is high and then unemployment. Jefferson county has a high rate of unemployment. I would like to see if we could get more jobs and training out there,” says Prince.
His announcement comes just two weeks after Quincy Murphy’s wife, Diane, made public her plans to run for her late husband’s unexpired term. It’s a race that is highly watched due to its potential placement in what is predicted to be a fight to change the voter landscape statewide.
