Jimmy Carter’s grandson looks at Ga. governor’s race

One of Jimmy Carter’s grandsons might try to follow in his footsteps and run for governor of Georgia.

State Sen. Jason Carter has commissioned a poll to study a race next year against Republican Gov. Nathan Deal, according to The Atlanta Journal-Constitution.

The newspaper reports Carter is testing the waters, “given recent events,” such as the role Deal’s office played in picking a new state ethics chief and his resistance to President Obama’s health care law in Georgia.
