Williams considering another run for state senate | The Augusta Chronicle

Add Augusta Commis­sion member Marion Williams to a list of hopefuls considering a run for the Georgia Senate District 22 seat in 2014.

The outspoken commissioner said he is “contemplating” a run. He won’t make his decision

based on whe­ther Sen. Hardie Davis, D-Au­gusta, runs again.

Former Commissioner Joe Bowles revealed last week that he’ll announce plans to seek the Senate seat when Davis reveals plans to run for Augusta mayor, something he has yet to officially do.

“We need somebody in Atlan­ta who’s going to support Augusta. Get Augusta up on the map. Some of the state services need to be done in Augusta,” Williams said, mentioning the need for more state government offices to be in Georgia’s second-largest city.
