NOTES AND SUMMARY
This is an increasingly diverse district in which the Republican representative, Brett Harrell (R), has run unopposed since 2012. Democrat Faith Chikwekwe was a candidate for the 2018 race, with strong support among progressives, but she withdrew for personal reasons.
Harrell is a former small business owner in the district and former mayor of Snellville. Among other committee positions, he is vice chair of the Rules Committee. He voted for concealed carry, prohibiting funding for sanctuary campuses, and the "religious liberty" bill.
A second Democrat had been anticipated to run for this seat but also changed her mind at the last minute. Harrell is running unopposed.
