Crawford: Georgia voters seem to like incumbents just fine
Placeholder Image
In the end, the political insurgency that supposedly would sweep incumbents out of office in last week’s primaries turned out not to be much of an insurgency. It seems that a majority of the state’s voters are OK with the people who are currently representing them in Congress or the General Assembly. There was a slate of candidates, many of them tea party activists, who were fired up by Donald Trump’s success as an outsider running for president and hoped to duplicate that at the local level by challenging incumbents in their own primaries.
