POLITICS: State Rep. Alisha Thomas Morgan (D-Cobb) is expected to announce her candidacy for state School Superintendent in a Tuesday press conference on the steps of the Georgia Capitol, according to reports. Incumbent Dr. John Barge will be running in the GOP gubernatorial primary rather than seeking another term as school super. Morgan’s husband, David Morgan, serves on the Cobb County school board.
Meanwhile, former DeKalb School Board member Nancy Jester is expected to announce on Monday that she, too, is running for state school superintendent, according to reports. BTW, Republican Jester will host a “Coffee Talk in Cobb” at Rev Coffee Roasters in Smyrna at 10 a.m. Tuesday. Joining her, she says, will be 11th District congressional candidate Ed Lindsey (R-Buckhead) and state Sen. Hunter Hill (R-Smyrna).
Also running for super in the GOP Primary will be Vinings businessman Fitz Johnson, former owner of the Atlanta Beat women’s professional soccer team.
