The candidates competing in the Republican primary for U.S. Senate shared the debate stage Sunday, and we boil the hourlong debate down to the highlights (and if you have time, here’s the replay of the debate).
The Atlanta Press Club’s Loudermilk-Young debates continue today with the candidates for governor on both sides of the aisle facing each other this afternoon. Other debates set for today are for the 13th Congressional District, which was held by U.S. Rep. David Scott until his death last week, and the 11th Congressional District, where candidates are competing in an open race after U.S. Rep. Barry Loudermilk decided against running for another term. You can find the full debate schedule and how to watch here.
