Who’s on your 2020 ballot and what do they stand for? Find out in our voter guide
The presidential race between Donald Trump and Joe Biden has dominated national headlines, but Georgians have dozens of other choices to make when it comes to federal, state and local representatives, including both of the Peach State’s senate seats.
More than a dozen candidates, Republican and Democrat, are competing for the remaining two years of Johnny Isakson’s seat, after the former senator stepped down due to health reasons. Gov. Brian Kemp appointed Sen. Kelly Loeffler to fill Isakson’s seat for the past year. Now she’s competing against Republican Rep. Doug Collins and Democrats like Matt Lieberman, Ed Tarver and the Rev. Raphael Warnock.
Georgia’s other senate race pits incumbent Republican Sen. David Perdue against Democrat Jon Ossoff and Libertarian Shane Hazel.
The Telegraph has put together a voter guide with information you need to know about the candidates. The guide allows users to plug in their address and receive a copy of their ballot featuring federal, state and local races. Subscribers will also have exclusive access to questions-and-answers with candidates from many contested state and local races, including both U.S. Senate races in Georgia, state representatives, the Bibb County sheriff and more.
